Currently‚ our planet is going through a series of significant climate events that is potentially leaving an impact. Global warming has been at the center of creating destructive climate change. By increasing the amounts of greenhouse gases‚ humans are creating an environment with hotter temperatures‚ melting ice caps‚ and rising sea levels. To add on‚ scientists are now worried that humans are potentially destroying the oceans by creating an acidic environment in the water. The acidic environment

Consequences of greenhouse-effect temperature rises Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks for the world’s climate researchers. This is because the natural processes that cause rain‚ hail and snow storms‚ increases in sea level and other expected effects of global warming are dependent on many different factors. It is also difficult to predict the size of the emissions of greenhouse gases in the coming decades‚ as this is determined to a great extent by
