The Independent<\/em><\/a> recently posted 10 photographs to show anyone who does not believe in climate change.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Penguins\"<\/p>\n

1. A group of emperor penguins face a crack in the sea ice, near McMurdo Station, Antartica. Photographer – Kira Morris<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Woman<\/p>\n

2. Amid a flood in Islampur, Jamalpur, Bangladesh, a woman on a raft searches for somewhere dry to take shelter. Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable places in the world to sea level rise, which is expected to make tens of millions of people homeless by 2050. Photographer –\u00a0Probal Rashid<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

3. Hanna Petursdottir examines a cave inside the Svinafellsjokull glacier in Iceland, which she said had been growing rapidly. Since 2000, the size of glaciers on Iceland has reduced by 12 per cent. Photographer –\u00a0Tom Schifanella<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Landslide\"<\/p>\n

4. Floods destroyed eight bridges and ruined crops such as wheat, maize and peas in the Karimabad valley in northern Pakistan, a mountainous region with many glaciers. In many parts of the world, glaciers have been in retreat, creating dangerously large lakes that can cause devastating flooding when the banks break. Climate change can also increase rainfall in some areas, while bringing drought to others. Photographer –\u00a0Hira Ali<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Steam\"<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Smoke \u2013 filled with the carbon that is driving climate change \u2013 drifts across a field in Colombia. Photographer –\u00a0Sandra Rondon<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dry<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0A river once flowed along the depression in the dry earth of this part of Bangladesh, but it has disappeared amid rising temperatures. Photographer –\u00a0Abrar Hossain<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dry<\/p>\n

7. Sindh province in Pakistan has experienced a grim mix of two consequences of climate change. \u201cBecause of climate change either we have floods or not enough water to irrigate our crop and feed our animals,\u201d says the photographer. \u201cPicture clearly indicates that the extreme drought makes wide cracks in clay. Crops are very difficult to grow.\u201d Photographer –\u00a0Rizwan Dharejo<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sheep\"<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0A shepherd moves his herd as he looks for green pasture near the village of Sirohi in Rajasthan, northern India. The region has been badly affected by heatwaves and drought, making local people nervous about further predicted increases in temperature. Photographer –\u00a0Riddhima Singh Bhati<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Factory<\/p>\n

9. A factory in China is shrouded by a haze of air pollution. The World Health Organisation has warned such pollution, much of which is from the fossil fuels that cause climate change, is a \u201cpublic health emergency\u201d. Photographer –\u00a0Leung Ka Wa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Water<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Water levels in reservoirs, like this one in Gers, France, have been getting perilously low in areas across the world affected by drought, forcing authorities to introduce water restrictions. Photographer –\u00a0Mahtuf Ikhsan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
