10. Aggravated allergies. Higher carbon dioxide levels and warmer temperatures associated with global warming are also playing a role by prodding plants to bloom earlier and produce more pollen.
9. Animals are moving up to higher land. This is mostly due to changes in their habitats caused by global warming.
8. Arctic natural life is blooming sooner. The ice melts earlier in spring, and higher levels of the form of the photosynthesis product chlorophyll in modern soils than in ancient soils shows a biological bloom in the Arctic in the recent decades.
7. Lakes are disappearing. The permafrost underneath the lakes probably thawed out so the water in the lakes can seep through the soil, draining the lake, and the ecosystems they support also lose their homes.
6. Layer of permanently frozen soil is thawing under the ground’s surface. This causes holes and occurs unevenly, so damage is done to structures such as railroad tracks, highways and houses.
5. Animals playing “survival of the fittest.” The plants are blooming earlier each year, meaning unless animals can reset their internal clocks and get into the open earlier each year, most of their food will be gone and they may not have sufficient time to produce offspring.
4. Less dense atmosphere and less drag. More carbon dioxide emissions causes more of its kind in the air, which, in turn, causes more cooling and again, in turn, causes the air to settle, leaving the atmosphere less dense with less drag.
3. Mountains are growing taller. As glaciers melt, weight that normally pushed against the Earth’s surface is now lifted and the surface slowly springs back up.
2. Ruins are being destroyed. Rising seas and extreme weather can completely destroy temples, ancient grounds and other artifacts, such as Sukothai, which was once the capital of a Thai Kingdom.
1. Forest fires. Canada and the United States are suffering from an extreme number of forest fires, which are due to warmer temperatures and snow that melts earlier, the latter which causes the grounds to stay drier for longer, giving flames more opportunities to develop.

WatchMojo Newsletter10. Breach - Ryan Philippe opens the elevator doors and “BAM”, Chris Cooper is standing there between two guards. The electricity that passes between them is unsettling, with a moment feeling like forever, until Cooper hauntingly utters the words. “Pray for me.” You can’t help but wonder why Chris doesn’t just Goldberg spear Philippe into the wall behind him for being the sole guy to take him down and ruin his life.
9. Lost Boys - After the final showdown with Kiefer Sutherland and the rest of his Motley Crue of teen vamps comes Grandpa, opening the fridge and closing his eyes before sighing and finally saying, “The one thing about Santa Carla I never could stomach….All the damn vampires.” And the light from said refrigerator, throwing its snuffed shadow upon Corey Haim and Jason Patric’s face, leave us feeling like we have just had the final joke slapped onto our faces ….People are strange.
8. Good Will Hunting - “Son of a bitch, he stole my line…” Robin Williams exclaims after reading Will’s goodbye note. Most romantic sentiment without the payout of seeing Skylar and Will meet again leave the audience wondering what could be… Or if Will’s shit box can make the drive cross country.
7. Batman Begins - “ I never said thank you.” Say’s Gary Oldman………. “And you’ll never have to.” Christian Bale beats everyone including Mr. Mom to become the coolest, buffest and most convincing Bruce Wayan/ Batman ever, then dives off the roof into the Dark night.
6. Devil’s Rejects - The dirty, hot and gritty standoff on the highway with nothing except “Freebird” blasting as the House of a Thousand Corpse’s crew drive to their deaths like Thelma and Louise except with guns blazing. A Beautifully horrifying end, if you can use that oxymoron.
5. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - The movie for the fans! Let’s face it; the only people who get every aspect of this movie were the nit picking fan boys who watched all of Kevin Smith’s other movies religiously over and over again. But you didn’t need to be a devout Askew disciple to see and appreciate the freeze frame of Jay and Silent Bob, being the supposed end of their jungle love, of course until Clerks 2. But that moment was like seeing two of your best friends in your senior yearbook, commemorating all the years you spent together and quite possibly being the last time you may see those two again….
4. Rocky 2 - Oh God! Rocky and Apollo are both down!! 7! 8! 9! Rocky gets up and bounces into the ropes by an eyelash, 10!!! Queue the goose bump inducing music.
3. Superman 1 - Here is another musical moment and one of the top three that actually bring me to tears. For some reason this reminds me of my dad, and to others I’m sure the theme as Superman flies out around the earth evokes memories from their youth while at the time was cinematically a wonderful way to end the flick. Kudos to the late Mr. Reeve for being a staple in my memories.
2. Braveheart - After the demise of William Wallace his men stand with Robert the Bruce for what is to be the Battle of Bannockburn. Then, the throwing of the claymore and charging the field screaming…The tears fly, and the goose bumps erupt. The majestic landscape and soundtrack burn into your senses like the smell of wood smoke, that you can’t wash off your skin, or ever clean off your mind.
1. Star Wars, A New Hope - I can’t explain with words. The score, Chewy, Han, and Luke lined up and the hall at full attention as the trumpets go and the crescendo swells. Then the walk, the walk down to the awaiting Leia and all the soldiers turn on heel with a unified “Clack!”. I cry every time, and have tried convincing my girl to allow this to be my wedding song. While I may not be able to reenact this alone with my best men, I can watch this over and over for my fix. Perfection.
