Summary: Ice Shelves in the arctic are retreating as climate change cause the world to warm the upwelling to get stronger. This could affect the releasing of more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, by bringing to the surface more of the deep water that has held this carbon locked away for centuries. The causing of ice sheets melting can give rise to the sea level which could cause coastlines to be swamped. Since climate change is caused by  carbon dioxide being put into the atmosphere by boring fossil fuels and because the ocean consumes large amounts of carbon dioxide. There are estimates that the oceans have taken up about 25 percent of the excess carbon dioxide, and more than 90 percent of the excess heat, that has resulted from burning of fossil fuels. But the deep ocean water that upwells around Antarctica contains more carbon dioxide that’s dissolved over centuries from organic matter including decaying marine organisms, tiny and immense, that sink when they die.

Analysis: If oceans continue to absorb the carbon dioxide and continues to warm then it can cause many problems around the world since all of the carbon dioxide warms up the world because of this it can cause problems such as sea level continuing to rise at an alarming rate as well as a more warmer earth. Scientists say that if the ice sheets continue to thin and break off it can cause the sea level to rise about 12 feet over centuries.

Quote: “But if more water upwells, more of this carbon dioxide could be outgassed, shifting this critical balance. That would make it more difficult to fight climate change: Nations would have to reduce their emissions even more to keep warming in check.” Dr.Russell
