Adverse Effects of Global Environmental Change
Global is good 1. Of or relating to the whole world; worldwide: "global economy". 2. Of or relating to the entire earth as a planet: "global environmental change".
Global warming is bad. It has been enhanced by us humans… One of the consequences is, in 2075 67% of Americans are expected to be born with skin cancer. 45% of those Americans born with skin cancer will die. This is caused by ozone depletion. This is sad but true… Resolution: Save energy-don’t use so much electricity, STOP SMOKING! STOP DEFORESTATION! Plant more trees! Look up ways to help the Earth.
Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.[3][4][5][6] These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations.[7][A]
Climate model projections were summarized in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They indicated that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 2.9 °C (2 to 5.2 °F) for their lowest emissions scenario and 2.4 to 6.4 °C (4.3 to 11.5 °F) for their highest.[8] The ranges of these estimates arise from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations.[9][10]
Future warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe.[11] The effects of an increase in global temperature include a rise in sea levels and a change in the amount and pattern of precipitation, as well a
