warming on various lifeforms on the planet are attributed to climate change triggered by incessantly increasing global near-surface temperatures. The most prominent global warming effects on weather include extreme weather conditions - such as frequent droughts‚ heat waves‚ devastating hurricanes etc.‚ all of which in turn affect various lifeforms on the planet. Given below are the details of global warming effects on planet Earth - with special emphasis on its effects on plants. animals and humans.

Water absence from the soil solutions affect the natural evaporative cycle between earth and atmosphere that contribute amount of rainfall. Drought occurs when soil moisture level and relative humidity in air is low while temperature is also high.

During this time the warming of sea surface temperatures take place‚ affecting wind patterns and thus possibly triggering both floods and droughts in different parts of the world. This phenomenon affects rainfall in India during Monsoon. Due to more heating‚ warm waters off eastern coast of South America increase the sea surface temperatures above normal by 0.5oC and leads to diversion of
