Reflection
I made the Statue of Liberty look like it was underwater due to the water rising levels. At the top of the image it says "4935" because that would be the year that I calculated that the Statue of Liberty would be submerged due to the water levels rising. If we didn't do anything to prevent the water rising levels from getting out of hand and if the water rising levels stayed at 0.8 inches a year, then it would take 2,915 years to submerge the Statue of Liberty. I felt shock while creating this because 2,915 years is not a long time and then one of the most well known landmarks could be submerged in water. My message to the world is to get rid of pollution, from littering to factories. We've already started making electric cars, so I believe soon we can find a way to reduce the pollution coming from factories. If the worlds pollution dies down all the pollutants, carbon dioxide, and greenhouse gases could leave the atmosphere instead of absorbing all the heat and trapping it in the Earth's atmosphere.
