Where should we move if polar ice melts?

Answer 1

we should move to hilly areas

Answer 2

The Arctic Ice is sea ice, it floats so melting it has no effect on ocean levels. The Antarctic is mostly sea ice but contains a large continental ice sheet. The summer temperatures are around 40C below zero so the expected effects of global warming of a couple of degrees will not affect it much. This all means that the total sea rise may be as much as 600mm or 2 feet after a century or so of warming. Unless you live behind a sea wall (like New Orleans) or in a canal estate, it shouldn't affect you much. Increase in storm intensity and storm surges are another matter, a few kilometres from the beach should take care of that. I live about an hour from the beach at about 150M so I'm not worried much. Even our holiday shack on McLeay Island is 30M above water. Where I am only the mega rich live right on the beach, I rather think that that may be the cause of the fuss.

Answer 3

If the polar ice caps melt, you should move to higher ground. I would recommend any location with altitude above sea level of 250 feet or more. obviously you would not want to move into an area which has a major earthquake fault line running through it, or an active (or temporary sleeping) volcano nearby.

Tongue in cheek...you could avoid having to move if you and lots of your friends would drink a lot of water.

Answer 4

no where, because we can stop it before that will happen. Its caused by global warming. :

Well, I am completely on your side. Because I am a person who really cares and wants to do something about this factor causing global warming. People don't realize that global warming is a real thing! they need to get off their butts and pitch in and save us and the world. Earth is counting on us. This year for Christmas i have driven to the close by Walmart and I am purchased enviorment friendly light bulbs that were on 74 cents. Which is am unbelievable price. Considering that i get the regular ones for about 2 bucks. I have purchased 10 light bulbs for each person who is coming for Christmas at my house this year. I have called them and ask they what they usually use around their house such as spray cans, the ones that spray with aerosol, Hairspray with aerosol, and other stuff. So i headed out to the mall and hardware stores and I have purchased the things they usaly use, but ones that are good for the enviorment.

At my house. My family likes to turn down the heat at only 55 degrees. (I am in MA) We have a pellet stove wich keeps the house nice and warm over the very warm winter. We have also cut down on trips and trips to the mall. So we can save money and have time to our selves then spending a billion dollars. Also in my house the electric bills have gone up almost 50.00 so we have desided that we wouldn't have the Christmas tree lights and house lights on when no one is really coming by our house and only put it in while the christmas vaction was happening.

I have noticed that over the last few years and talking to my parents about this that they said that when they and when I was a kid That it would be snowing in the first week of November and ponds and lakes would be frozen and waiting for pedestiants to skate on them. This year its already December and the tempeture is in teh 50s. Isn't that just simply amazing but very bad? Anyway it has only snowed about 1 time. It snowed about 3 days ago. we thought it was going to be a bad storm with the winds and everything. So we thought it was snowing all day but it was just winds blowing 1/2 of snow everywhere. It melted 3 hours after.

This is a real thing that is happeing to the world and we all need to do one thing to help save not only oursleves but our home planet, earth.

Answer 5

Mt Everest

Answer 6

Ecuador, because it has a high altitude but is also on the equator so it is warmer than Nepal.

Answer 7

To the moon :)
