Warmer temperatures, in turn, are linked to a rising of the seas in two ways: by causing the water to expand as it warms, and by melting glaciers and icecaps.

Scientists who research the impact of climate change on threatened species often come up with predictions of how species will fare in response to rising temperatures, melting icecaps, and changing weather patterns.

Though seemingly overblown, snowpocalypse-a fancy way of saying that there's more snow, more often-seems to be related to melting polar icecaps, which could bring about permanent school closings and other inconveniences associated with the end times.

Progs 119 to 139 contained the prequel story Disaster 1990, which shows Britain being flooded by melting polar icecaps in 1990.

In an age troubled by pollution and threatened by melting icecaps, Greenland's national park proves that the planet's glaciers haven't disappeared just yet.

Their crude computer models projected sweltering summers, droughts, melting icecaps, rising seas, and drowning ports and deltas, early in the next millennium.

Greenhouse warming is linked to a rising of the seas in two ways: by causing the water to expand as it warms and by melting glaciers and icecaps.

They could purify poison atmospheres, melt icecaps and cool tropics, cultivate deserts and eliminatejungles.

Island nations fear that rising global temperatures will melt polar icecaps, causing ocean waters to rise and flood low-lying islands.
