Answer 2

Glaciers hold water that eventually melts into streams, helps drive hydroelectric systems and sustains fish.

"Global warming might cause a shutdown of currents in the North Atlantic and cause Europe to cool," "But just as people are trying to adjust to that event, the same warming might also help melt an Antarctic ice sheet which would tend to start the current in the North Atlantic moving again. And that might be considered a good thing, unless you live in a coastal area which is now going to be flooded by rising sea levels."


Melting Glaciers may make shipping in certain regions easier to access

Melting Glaciers may make it easier for scientists to find ancient artifacts and fossils previosly unknown.

Answer 3

You can't write an essay about it if there aren't any "Pros." You should either change your essay to something that really does have pros and cons or change your essay to just talk about the "Con's" of melting glaciers.

Write and Introduction that mentions 3 or 4 "cons" then write a separate paragraph about each of the cons. Then write a conclusion. You should have either 5 or 6 paragraphs depending on if you have 3 or 4 cons.

Answer 4

I believe some countries use glaciers that float to solve their water problem by melting them.
There are hardly any pro's. It would increase water level they say of oceans and more land will be submerged. May be on wikepedia.org you can check.

Answer 5

I have a feeling that you may not find many

not sure if these links will help or not....have fun with that one.

I suppose one could argue that this is a normal phenomenon, since, after all, much of the world was covered by ice at some point, but I don't really by that.

Answer 6

Ouch. Not sure if this topic works, since there aren't going to be many pros - if any. Mad scientists trying to scare the world excepted ...

Answer 7

Probably on some Republican website that is pro-global warming.


I can't really think of any pro's.

Answer 8

The "pros" are easy. Just make up lies. That's what the Republicans do.

Answer 9

not really sure...there aren't really many except that they can filter glacial run-off and use it for drinking water

Answer 10

I cannot think of even one. I believe that it would be all negative.
