The effects of Global warming

over the last 100 years the global temperatures have been increasing slowly by 0.20 C˚in every ten years. If the temperature continuing increasing by the same amount the global temperatures will rise form 5 to 9 degrees over the next fifty years, several things could happen. The increase of temperature could alter the growth of crops in areas near the equator due to insufficient rain and heat. this could really effect countries that rely in imported food.

With the high temperatures the polar ice caps could melt and cause the sea water level to go up 3 feet. this could take out small islands, coastal cities and some shallow rivers. Another effect of global warming when the temperatures do spread southword and northword and some dangerous and tropical disease will spread with it causing many more deaths because it will be out of control. Moreover many cities need to be rebuild due to the flooding and more money need to be spent on food and medical supplies and workers. All of this combined could and will cost a lot of money if we don't do something about is now.

Global Warming

What is the global warming? Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. There are several causes of global warming. One of the main cause that is coming from carbon dioxide (CO2) which is released from greenhouses, industrial activities, the modern transportation. An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes, including sea level rise and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. There may also be increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, though it is difficult to connect specific events to global warming. Other consequences may include changes in agricultural yields, glacier retreat reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease-carrying insects.

Causes of Global warming

Global warming has recently become in top of any environmental issues agenda in most of modern countries across the world. In fact there are many causes of global warming. In this following paragraphs i will out line some of the cause of global Waring briefly.

one of the main cause of global warming is the rapid increase of the uses of fossil fuels which are required to run the huge industrial activities. Add to this the increase of uses of modern transportation due to the rapid growth of world population.

The massive deforestation is another cause because when the tress are removed the forestability to reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is decreasing. Finally the the emissions of the greenhouse gases such carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane which are mainly come from animal's manure.
