GLOBAL WARMING AND ITS EFFECTS Global Warming effects on the natural balance of environment. The world climate is going a significant change day by day. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries‚ the use of CFCs in packaging and manufacturing products‚ the use of detergents etc. cause Global Warming. Besides‚ overpopulation‚ deforestation are the causative factors

of China’s water scarcity crisis: Global Warming‚ Urbanization/ population growth‚ and Industrialization. Of these‚ the biggest driver is the industry. One reason for China’s water shortage is that the glaciers are melting. They are melting 7% each year and many people depend on these glaciers for water. Also the dry season is drying the lakes up. Temperatures are rising faster than the global average. In addition‚ northern China’s rain and snowfall have decreased. (Document A) A second cause

The Climate Wars is a documentary by Iain Stewart‚ which is made up of three parts. It talks about climate change‚ its causes‚ effects‚ wrong predictions and the controversies towards the correct and reasonable explanations given by leading scientists. Climate change is the lasting change noticed or recorded in the climate or weather pattern ranging over a period of time. Climate change is caused by natural causes as well as by humans. The effect that the human race is having on the earth is so vast

Abstract This report studies secondary research to discover the effects of global warming and the consequences it has on sea levels‚ ice melting and the polar bear. Websites researched were NASA‚ ICUN‚ National Geographic‚ BBC News‚ The Independent‚ IPCC‚ Arctic Council‚ National Resources Defense Council‚ UN News and D.V.D. called ‘An Inconvenient‚’ truth. Evidence researched supports the conclusion that scientists believe global temperatures have been rising and that human activity is a significant

increase of the temperature in the earth’s surface air. It tends to be one of the greatest factors that are being discussed. There are many trends that demonstrate global warming has a great impact on the rise of the sea levels‚ ice caps that are melting and the changes in the climates worldwide. Because of this it can be a problem to all of the things living on earth. During the past centuries the temperatures has risen significantly‚ scientist have shown that the increases since the middle of the

endangered list. Some may argue that ice and glaciers have been growing and receding for hundreds of years‚ but they will always grow back again. However‚ for the past 100 years though‚ arctic ice and glaciers have been decreasing at an alarmingly fast rate. Glaciers have slowly been getting smaller and smaller since the 1960s and has been decreasing at a faster speed over the past 10 years. The rising ocean level has been a major consequent of the ice melting (Climate Change Indicators: Snow and Ice)

environment and human life. Many effects thought to be unlikely are now being observed because of the dire consequences that may result if ignored. Here‚ we look at: melting of glaciers‚ increase of severe weather‚ and the social effects related to global warming. Because glaciers are made of fresh water‚ their melting will not only raise sea levels‚ but cause desalinization. Simply put‚ the oceans become less salty. This desalinization alters ocean currents; which regulate the temperature

Panel on Climate carrying out global warming research have recently predicted that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps‚ as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events. The yearly tornado total has remained stable over time‚ the researchers discovered. The mean annual rate of tornadoes rated as EF-1

In the year 2012‚ scientist saw the smallest amount of Artic ice cover in the Artic Sea. Analyst project that the Artic sea will be completely free of ice in a matter of years. Another prominent effect of global warming is the rising sea level. Sea level rise became faster over the last century that is caused by melting polar ice in the
