disastrous environmental phenomena—drought and rising sea level. According to Dai‚ “warming increases the tendency for moisture to evaporate from land areas” (Pegg‚ 2005). Global warming keeps the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans at a high level‚ which contributes to the mass evaporation of the earth’s surface water. With the evaporation increasing year by year but the amount of precipitation remaining the same‚ the land cannot retain water and then‚ droughts occur. In the past 30 years when
