Sounds ridiculous, but that\u2019s exactly what might happen in the future.\ndateWritten: October 8th, 2022\nauthor: Abhignya\ndesktop: 27.jpg\nphone: 27.png\n---\n\nRight now, approximately one-third of the world\u2019s lakes are blue. But if the average temperature in summer rises just a few degrees higher, these cerulean lakes might become murky green.\n\nScientists at the Southern Methodist University conducted a study with satellite pictures, comparing the average temperature and climate to the color of the lakes. While there are other factors such as depth and surrounding land, the amount of algae is the most important one.\n\nWhich is where climate change comes in. Warmer water helps algae grow faster and that means the lakes turn green or brown. This is because algae changes the properties of the water.\n\nIf lakes start turning brown, people are going to lose resources. Sightseeing at the lakes will become unappealing and cleaning the water for drinking will become more expensive.\n\nThis is just another way that climate change is affecting the world. There are so many different, unknown ways and it\u2019s another sign that people need to take action before it\u2019s too late.\n"}}]);
