Ok, so with energy prices increasing due to both environmental lobbyists and the limited supply of fossil fuels where the burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere creating the greenhouse effect where the Sun's heat gets trapped within the Earth's atmosphere. There is now greenhouse gas emission restrictions in place to try and minimise the impact of global warming. Hopefully the USA the leading cause of the greenhouse effect acts to help reduce the greenhouse effect and slow down the melting of the Polar ice caps and stop Greenland from melting away.

By the end of this century with all the ice around the polars melted away and Greenland gone, sea levels are expected to rise by around about 1 meter. This would result in many captal cities and some countries wiped off the map. 

If all the ice on the north and Antarctica would melt the sealevel is expected to rise with over 70 meters. This is including the thermal expansion of the ocean water, which will occur by the higher global temperature to make that happen. That's enough to wipe some small nations of the earth like The Netherlands. 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
