The climate change is getting real serious as its effects are evidently showing all over the world. There are strong hurricane and storms here and there, heat waves that kill and drastic weather change that affects, not just humans but animals as well.

According to U.S. Uncut, the climate crisis is getting clearer with the help of before-and-after photos of lakes, archipelagos and coral reefs. The snaps from 10 to 20 years ago evidently showed the drastic change happening in our environment.

As the ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner, the heat continuously penetrating the earth causing the polar ice caps to melt that leads unpredictable weather and rising sea level. Al Jazeera America cited that scientists from NASA revealed that ocean is rising by an average of 3 millimeters per year from the satellite data gathered since 1992.

It was said to be the cause of a thermal expansion of warming ocean temperatures and melting ice sheets and glaciers. And, the scientists warned everyone that the sea water level is climbing drastically, with as much as three feet in the next century.

Moreover, U.S. Uncut reported that the U.S. Geological Survey is doing the "Repeat Photography" project to observe the progress of global warming. Through their photos, they opt to give awareness to everyone that the climate change is real and happening.

Seeing the photographs of melting glaciers over the past 100 years are quite shocking and threatening. USGS is using the capture snaps from the 1800s to the early 1900s to show how the glaciers looked before and how the landscapes changed from those times to the present day.

The project covers Montana's Glacier National Park and also the public parks and forests of Alaska. In the early 1800s, there were about 150 glaciers at Glacier National Park, sadly, there are just 25 of them remain.

Unfortunately, the glaciers at Glacier National Park are quickly decreasing. In the series of snaps, it showed how fast the glaciers melt that one-sixth of the icy bodies was in the same park over 150 years ago.

"The striking images created by pairing historic images with contemporary photos have given global warming a face and made climate change a relevant issue to viewers," the USGS overview about the cause read. "The images are an effective visual means to help viewers understand that climate change contributes to the dynamic landscape changes so evident in Glacier National Park."
