Moreover, an Italian scientist named Svante Arrhenius lamented that the temperature of the Earth would rise someday so much that tens of thousands of species of plants and animals will find it tough to survive and the icecaps in the North and South poles will melt and Island Continents like the Americas and Australia will sink in the ocean.
