Actually i already did some research bout the global warming n it's effect long ago..but just today i'm about to post it here..hehe~~ Here's some introduction to global warming which i guess everyone already knew it ;p

Global warming : An increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation.

The predicted effects of global warming on the environment and for human life are numerous and varied.

Some effects of recent climate change may already be occurring. Raising sea levels, glacier retreat, Arctic shrinkage, and altered patterns of agriculture are cited as direct consequences, but predictions for secondary and regional effects include extreme weather events, an expansion of tropical diseases, changes in the timing of seasonal patterns in ecosystems, and drastic economic impact.

Concerns have led to political activism advocating proposals to mitigate, eliminate, or adapt to it.

So, for this assignment i'll be creating a symbol base on a specific area which i've choosen..i'm going to concentrate on the sea level rising effect caused from the global warming..

Here are some of my references pictures :

"This is the Earth. It became a Waterworld because Global Warming has affected whole parts of the Earth, then sea level ROSE, then all land parts sunk. "
