Destroying Our Homes. The Lifestyles Around Us Are Constantly

Increasing average temperature leads to higher CO2 level that has different outcomes. It could increase production, but at the same time the higher the temperature is, the less products farmers can produce. CO2 level also increases the oceans acidity level, so enormous number of species die. Due to social pressure, fisheries overfish oceans so our ecosystem seems so be ‘upside down’. As a consequence of global warming millions of people in Africa does not get enough food and die of starvation. The are solutions being made for starvation, like Egypt’s food subsidies and India’s The Right to Food

In the article “Global Warming” it states, “Greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere hold heat to close to the surface which heats the earth to fast. This causes rising temperatures and life for all living things gets more difficult.In addition, The article “Global warming dangers” on expert space says, “As ocean water expands, due to global warming, the sea level rises drastically”. This rise in sea level causes houses by the coast to go and make it so we have to cut down more habitats. This is just two reasons why global warming is so bad.

Rising temperatures are causing melting glaciers, which cause rising oceans. Rising oceans will envelop entire coastal cities, killing or displacing millions of people. Our food sources will dwindle; entire species of animals will become extinct as we destroy their homes to rebuild; and as our population skyrockets, an unimaginable number of humans will be left homeless, starving, and sick.

According to Alina Bradford’s article “Effects of Global Earming”, one of the most dramatic effects of global warming is the reduction in Arctic sea ice. The average temperatures in the Arctic region are rising twice as fast as they are when comparing to other places in the world. The ice in Arctic is getting thinner, melting and rupturing. The polar ice cap as a whole is shrinking. According to the images from NASA satellites show that the area of permanent ice cover is contracting at a rate of 9 percent each ten years. If the ice melting at this rate, Arctic could become ice-free in the summers by the end of the century. As global temperatures continue to rise, ice in the polar regions and glaciers will melt, dumping tons of extra water into the ocean which cause sea level to rise. According to the data in the article “Causes of Sea Level Rise: What the Science Tells Us”, “Global average sea level rose roughly eight inches from 1880-2009 and the average annual rate of global sea level rise accelerated from 1993-2008, increasing 65-90 percent above the twentieth century average”. Sea level rise means potable water will decrease. Although about 71% of the earth surface is covered by water, but 97% of the water is salt water. Ice melting will only increase the yield of sea salt water. People cannot drink the water from the sea because there are too much salt in it. Although because of the

The ice caps are melting at an alarming rate and this mostly due to global warming. The reason why there is global warming is that there is a hole in our ozone layer, which protects living organisms from the harmful rays of the sun. Pollution from factories, cars, and other material that runs on fossil fuels is the main reason for pollution. When the rays of the sun hit the ice caps, the ice caps start to melt and then that causes the sea level to rise, which will cause cities to flood more often. If the ice caps keep melting, some cities might even go underwater because of global warming. If the ice caps keep melting it can also expose humans to diseases that have been frozen for hundreds of years. Many animals will lose their habitat because of the melting ice caps, they will have to move to a different area, and they could cause great destruction because they might become invasive species or they may perhaps die off and become extinct. To

“An acceleration of these climatic trends is projected to occur during this century, due to ongoing increases in concentrations of green houses gases in global atmosphere. While green house gas emissions do not primarily originate in the arctic, they are projected to bring wide-range changes and impacts to arctic. These arctic changes will, in turn, impact the planet as a whole. For this reason, people outside the arctic have a great stake in what is happening there. For example, climatic processes unique to the arctic have significant effects on global and regional climate. The arctic also provides important natural resources to the rest of the world (such as oil, gas, and fish) that will be affected by climate change. And melting of arctic

Global Warming has a huge affect on our daily lives and on animals. We lose a bunch of natural resources, especially fresh-water, because it melts into the salty oceans; however, attempts have been made including the slowing down of global warming by stopping the usage of fossil fuels; whether the attempts have been successful or not. The earth’s temperature is slowly increasing which is a massive long term factor on inhabitants all over the world. The Amazon Rainforest has also experienced many problems due to deforestation and the water circulation throughout all of the plants and trees. Global Warming is exponentially increasing causing the rapid melting of glaciers, which leads to ocean currents changing and

Global warming has a plethora of negative effects on the planet, both on the surface and

First off, polar sea ice is melting. Polar bears, walrus, penguins and seals are all affected by this because none of them can breath underwater and all need resting ice. When it is not there, they have to swim distances that are impossible for them to make it that far so some will drown. In the article, “The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming” states, “polar bears are forced to swim longer distances to find their prey. Sometimes on their journeys, the bear tire and drown.” Next, there will be a dramatic rise in the sea level. This can cause flooding which will critically impact people who live on coasts. Many houses will be destroyed and it will cost people lots of money to rebuild them. As the article “Global Warming Effects and Causes: A Top 10 List” states, “many nations around the world will experience the effects of rising sea levels, which could displace millions of people. One nation, the Maldives, is already looking for a new home, thanks to rising sea levels.” Many houses will be filled with water as people evacuate the city. Lastly, the temperature will rise which means more hurricanes and extreme storms.Massive hurricanes have took many lives in the past and there will be a enormous increase of the chance of that happening in the future because of global warming. Scientists say that wind speeds have been rising due to the warmer ocean which is making this huge storms happen. The author of “Global Warming Effects and Causes: A Top 10 List” wrote, “‘Scientists have come up with the firmest evidence so far that global warming will significantly increase the intensity of the most extreme storms worldwide. The maximum wind speeds of the strongest tropical cyclones have increased significantly since 1981, according to research published in Nature this week. And the upward trend, thought to be driven by rising ocean

Throughout history, humans have modified their environment to suit their needs, such as housing, agriculture, and industry, but we are now seeing major changes to the environment on a scale not witnessed before. The greenhouse effect has run rampant through man’s use of fossil fuels and is causing major changes to the planet, many unseen by people not directly affected. Human overuse of dirty energies that produce CO2 has led to shrinking Arctic ice and warmer temperatures that cause disruption for the animals and people who live there. Glaciers, in places such as Iceland and Canada, and the Arctic ice sheet are melting, breeding seasons are changing, and people and animals are being displaced (Greene et. al., 2008). Some changes have been

A scientist that reports for National Geographic Magazine stated, “Since 1990, yearly emissions have gone up by about six billion metric tons of “carbon dioxide equivalent” worldwide, more than a 20 percent increase”(“Causes of Global Warming”) Humans are the cause of global warming. Overpopulation of the human race has resulted in a multitude of carbon dioxide gas getting trapped in the atmosphere, warming the earth as if it was a greenhouse. Carbon dioxide (Co2) is a “waste” gas of human beings. One human approximately exhales two and one third pounds of carbon dioxide gas a day(Palmer) Consequently, the gas is warming the earth from the core up. Humans are the cause of global warming.

With global warming, people are using the earth’s atmosphere as an oven. Global warming is caused by many factors including simple things such as driving your car to work, all the way to running a mainstream industry. Global Warming is a major problem for animals because if their habitat is melting, they will have absolutely no where to go and they will just end up drowning in the cold waters of the North and South poles. Global warming is happening right now and if there is nothing to try and stop it, there will possibly be the death of habitats, animals, and eventually

Many complications have top to global warming. One of the major problems is hovering sea levels. This might lead to submerging of small seaside zones and towns, such as Egypt, the Netherlands and Bangladesh. Some places may even disappear altogether! Another problem caused by global warming and climate change. Many parts of the world are experiencing an increase in hurricanes, floods and other unusual weather. A third issue is the effect of global warming on animals. Fish populations may be affected, while some insects that spread disease may become more frequent.

Global warming and climate change will cause health problems for future generations. Climate change and global warming affect everyone. Polar bears are losing their homes due to global warming, and humans are forced to adapt to a continually changing environment. According to John Balbus, he mentioned “With the climate change can cause exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity which are associated with social and demographic factors” (Balbus n.p). Also, increase susceptibility to higher rates of illness caused by climate change and global warming, which it is similar in some cases. Global warming may be a high risk of health consequences also heat-related disease, mental health consequences, and stress. Global warming gives several adverse health effects in both humans and animals.

In the website called Global Climate Change it stated that “On earth, human activities are changing the natural greenhouse. Over the last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil had increased the concentration of the atmospheric carbon dioxide” (Nasa). We don’t have to be scientist to know that global warming is happening. If we look around we can see all the damages that we are creating; but it seems like we are just covering our eyes and hoping it will go away.
