Question

Explain how melting ice caps will throw the global ecosystem out of balance.

Answer 1

The rise in sea levels is one contributing factor. if all glaciers melted today the seas would rise about 230 feet. animals suck as polar bears and seals would become endangered, making some organisms that polar bears eat becoming out of control. Eventually, humans, some places like islands could become flooded due to rise in the water. 

Answer 2

These ice caps have been frozen for hundreds of years, the planet would be covered with more and more water as the climates get hotter. Which will reduce to less land and a bigger population with not enough resources.
