1) Global temperatures have risen over the past few decades and are projected to continue increasing due to rising carbon dioxide levels from fossil fuel usage. 2) Warming effects will be greater at higher latitudes and polar regions, and land areas will warm more rapidly than oceans. 3) Melting glaciers are contributing significantly to rising sea levels, which are estimated to be rising at 1.5 to 2 millimeters per year.

5. Solution Home One possible solution is to generate electricity from the Gulf Stream flow, particularly in the vicinity of Florida, where the Florida Current exiting the Florida Straits is well defined and close to shore. The reaction forces of the turbines, as well as the drag of the turbine blades, housings, moorings, and power cables will reduce the velocity of the stream. This will reduce the amount of warm water brought up the coast to feed into the current that crosses the Atlantic Ocean.
