    Global Warming

    Global warming is causing sea levels to rise as ice caps melt, which threatens coastal lands and Arctic animals. It is also reducing freshwater supplies as glaciers and mountain snowpack shrink. Rising ocean temperatures bleach and kill coral reefs and marine life due to the ocean absorbing more heat from greenhouse gases. Climate change is altering weather patterns and habitats, causing many species to die off as they cannot adapt quickly enough. Extreme precipitation events have increased due to climate change, bringing larger but less frequent rains and more frequent flooding.

    Effects of Global Warming

    1. Sea Levels
    Due to global warming, the ice caps are starting to melt off. When the ice melts
    off, the sea level rises. According to National Geographic, the sea level has rose a total of
    eight inches since the year 1880. The rise in sea levels are a bad thing for our planet. Lands
    are sinking slowly and arctic animals are losing their home. Some have even gone extinct
    due because of the sea level rising. It’s truly a serious matter.

    2. Lack of Freshwater
    According to National Geographic, glaciers contain three-quarters of the Earth’s
    freshwater supply. And according to the watercalculator.org, mountain meltwater runoff
    holds 50% of our freshwater supply. With global warming and the continuous change in
    temperature, the fast melting mountain snowpack can’t be accommodated by the natural
    streams and reservoirs. Due to this, freshwater is wasted.

    3. Rise in Sea Surface Temperature


    The rising of temperature of Sea Surface is due to the ocean absorbing the emitted
    heat from greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of the rise in sea temperature are coral
    bleaching and death of marine animals and plants. Other than this affecting the ocean’s
    inhabitant, it also affects us humans. Sea life is dying therefore a decrease in food supply
    and in natural resources.

    4. Climate Change
    The temperature of the troposphere is continually rising due to the emission of
    greenhouse gasses. The Earth is warming and therefore changing the routine of the species
    inhabiting it. A lot are dying off as they cannot keep up with the change of habitats and
    climate. This is greatly affecting the way of life we are used to. We are now reaching new
    extreme levels of weather due to global warming.

    5. Extreme Precipitation
    Global warmping has changed the way the Earth works. Extreme precipitation has
    been linked to the severe change of climate. Nowadays, rainfall is larger and less frequent.
    Though as the rain is stronger, flooding is more frequent. The flooding destroys many
    households and plantations. Altering our way of life forever.
