Water Distribution




The major effects of global warming occur through changes in water distribution. Higher temperatures are melting the ice in the far north and south of our planet. People, who live in these areas for example the Inuit in Nunavat, are already seeing changes in their environment which are affecting their day to day lives. There are other consequences which are being seen much further afield. The level of the oceans is rising, which threatens the survival of people who live in low-lying areas of the world such as the tiny Commonwealth island of Tuvulu. Ice heat much better than land, so as the ice caps melt less heat is lost by the Earth, accelerating the warming effect.

These points are relevant, but unfortunately this passage seems to be cut and pasted from the British Council magazine Learn English. Why did you plagiarize?
