Global Warming : causes, effects and remedies

The Most Dangerous Game has a dark action you can examine right away from reading the story. In this story, the character General Zaroff starts off by hunting animals and than slowing moves onto hunting humans. This dark action is highlighted when Zaroff hunts the animals and people in the story.

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.

The Sea Level has increased over the past 200 years as average global temperatures have increased. The rise is due to two factors, the freshwater being added to the oceans from ice melt in the cryosphere, and the thermal expansion of the oceans due to rises in sea temperature. The sea level has risen 6 to 8 inches in the past 100 years. It is predicted to rise another 50 to 90 centimeters in the next century. As the sea level rises it’s jeopardizing rapidly growing coastal communities, which causes evacuation in some areas causing people to lose their homes. Sea level is the effect

According to Morgan Freeman (2012), “Marijuana prohibition is just the stupidest law possible...just legalize it and tax it like we do liquor”. Canada has illegalized marijuana in 1923.Since then marijuana has been the most used drug among Canadians .Moreover, Canada has the highest rate of marijuana use in the world. Therefore, many Canadians argue that the time that marijuana gets legalized in has arrived. Marijuana has been proven to be very beneficial to the country. Legalizing marijuana will reduce crimes, benefit the economy and help individuals medically.

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

Climate change is evident throughout the world and is a major issue. It is no secret that our planet is getting warmer. Global warming is now recognized in the scientific community as a real problem. There are multiple aspects that are causing this issue. Majority of the warming is caused by greenhouse gases. Volcanic eruptions and changes in the intensity of solar radiation have offset the warming partially. It is estimated that average annual temperatures will increase 3.5°F-9.5°F by the century’s end.

However, issues the occur with rising temperature involve more severe floods, storms, droughts and fires which could then lead to higher death toll in human and animal life because for some animals it will be too hot to live. Due to this rise in Temperature Sea, level has increased dramatically and scientist estimate that the sea will continue to rise 15-95 cm by the end of the century. Sea levels are rising because two reasons. First with increasing average global temperatures, the water in Earth’s oceans expand in volume. This occurs because, when heated the molecules that make up a body of water move more rapidly and collide more often. The second reason is when glaciers and ice sheets melt the water that had previously been frozen the glaciers will melt and release the water cause more enter the oceans and

Global warming causes a rise in sea level because of two main phenomena: thermal expansion of warming ocean water and melting of glacial ice. A water level increase as significant as twenty inches could be reached by the year 2100. To provide a working idea of this, twenty inches is enough to submerge about 8500 sq. miles of the southeastern coastline of the United States (New York Times).

One of the current issues in the world is the receding glaciers in Bolivia, and they are affecting the community quite heavily. The glaciers have receded 43% between the years of 1986-2014, and with the current warming they are continuing to recede. One of the main problems this is causing is a risk of the water supply in the region. In Bolivia, they use melted glacier water for many things such as irrigation, drinking water, as well as hydropower. The article explains that around 15% of the water they use is from the melted glaciers, with that number coming close to doubling when they are in a dryer season. This also causes problems for the lakes and rivers in parts of Bolivia. Some of the melted glacier water finds its way into rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, and quite a few bodies of water have dried up due to these receding glaciers.

Due rise in temperatures, icebergs and ice crust will melt, what by the way will force sea-level rise and flood islands and continents. If Earth’s oceans water levels will continue to rise, it may also influence on the amount of fallouts, which may destroy living environment and habitat of different species.

Rising sea levels can also erode shorelines, which will in turn make flooding more severe. Another severe effect of rising sea levels is saltwater intrusion. Saltwater intrusion occurs when saltwater intrudes into groundwater, contaminating drinking supplies, irrigation supplies, and agricultural fields (“Sea Level”). As the ocean temperatures continue to rise, sea level rises with it as seen in Figure 1. This graph shows the rate at which sea levels are rising as ocean temperatures rise. Rising sea level can be contributed to two factors, thermal expansion and melting of sea ice. Since the 1970’s, the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean around the North Pole has been shrinking, and getting thinner. The warmer water and atmosphere causes the Arctic sea ice to melt more than usual during the summer months. Not only will the melting of sea ice have

Decades of research suggest that sea-levels are rising, and will continue to rise as a result of climate change. This rise will have the most immediate and significant impact on

The sea levels as a result of melting of glaciers have risen from 0.35 mm to 0.4 mm. Scientists have warned in their reports that most of the glaciers will disappear within a period of 15 to 25 years. ("Science News )It will create problems of drinking water and food grains in most of the North American countries. India is not unaffected from it. The Himalayan glaciers have shrunk about 30 per cent after 1970. The rise in sea levels is a major cause of concern. A large number of cities located in coastal areas will submerge in the sea. Besides, many island countries will ultimately “lose their existence and will be washed away from the surface of the earth. The damage of rising sea levels is diverse. Buildings and roads close to the water could be flooded and they could suffer damage from hurricanes and tropical storms. Experts believe that global warming could increase the intensity of hurricanes by over 50 per cent. In addition, as the sea rises, beach erosion takes place, particularly on steep banks. ("Hurricane Intensity.")

Sea level rise, caused largely by the expansion of ocean water as it heats and the melting of glaciers and ice caps will be a threat to our ecosystems. Rising sea levels will increase the relative frequency and intensity of storm surges

Sea level rise can also be caused by melting of land based ice. Over the last century there has been an unprecedented increase in global
