Global warming is a problem threatening to nature and humans though its impact differ among sub regions.The main impacts to occur in the future yet sustainable development should start now.
Global climate change is expected to increase sea-surface temperatures and sea level.Ice melting will decrease sea-ice cover.There have been seasonal melting now.Some of the places identified are the Arctic, North Pole, North America, the Mediterranean, Peninsula and the Kilimanjaro mountains.Also the glaciers have been melting and refreezing rising the levels of sea-waters.
The impact of the Global warming has been floods in Netherlands, Beijing and India.The floods have left people homeless,injured and loss of life.Floods cause droughts, hunger,poverty, population displacements, erosion and wetland loss in coastal areas.
In the Mediterranean, temperatures reduce the traditional peak demand for holidays and cause fire risks.Sea ice diminishing through ice melting has impact for habitats like polar bears die as they travel long distances looking for frozen sea water.Also are fluctuation in fish populations and sea birds are affected by inter-annual and long term variability in ocean graphic and atmospheric processes.Global warming also causes fauna and floral shifts.
Global warming has risks posed to human health.Climate variability would affect seasonality of vector - borne infections diseases like mosquitoes, ticks, tsetse flies which transmit diseases by blood.Increased heat waves increase risk of death and serious illness mainly in older people and urban poor.

Do you agree that it is as bad as everyone as it is? perhaps Al Gore and others are exagerrating the effects?
ReplyDeleteTO a greater extent this was deserved, yes l feel that the opinion of others was positively influenced as l was positivily influenced because Al Gore won the nobel peace prize in 2007 which is an indicator that the judges had judged it against other climate change presentations and weighed its impact.Also the fact that 1000 scientists were involved in the research proves beyond doubt that the facts presented are factual
