-Increase of diseases-

Due to the change in climate,mosquitoes breed faster resulting in the spread of diseases such as malaria,dengue fever and many more.
These diseases can be fatal if left untreated.

Also,many forms of life would be affected by the increasing temperature and changing climate.
Thus,i hope you have understood the importance of preventing or maybe stopping Global Warming from taking place further.

Lets fight for our future together!!!

-People's life would be affected-

When floods and hurricanes occur,they destroy homes of people,leaving them homeless.These natural disasters also destroy agriculture and livestock,leaving people with no food and for farmers,no income.
Many would be killed in such a disaster if unaware and unprepared.
A lot of money would be needed to repair the damages done by these fearful and dangerous disasters caused by Global Warming.

-Rise in sea levels and temperature-

As there is a drastic increase increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in present day,more heat from the sun is traped in our Earth's atmosphere resulting in Global Warming.
When Global warmnig occurs,the average temperature of the Earth rises resulting in the melting of ice at the North and South poles.
When the ice melts,it turn into water.This water causes the sea level to rise when it is deposited into the sea resulting in a rise of sea level.
Low lying areas will be flooded causing homes and many things to be destroyed.
Global Warming should not be taken lightly,my fellow reader.
Help stop it before it is too late.

-More extreme weathers-

Hurricanes, simulated under warmer, high-CO2 conditions, are more intense than under present-day conditions; there is less confidence in projections of a global decrease in numbers of hurricanes so far.
More intense hurricanes results in more devastating destruction of our environment and the death of more people in the future?
Do you want this?
Help stop Global Warming then!!!

-Increased rate of evaporation-

Over the course of the 20th century, evaporation rates have reduced worldwide ; this is thought by many to be explained by global dimmings. As the climate grows warmer and the causes of global dimming are reduced, evaporation will increase due to warmer oceans. Because the world is a closed system this will cause heavier rainfall and more erosion, and in more vulnerable tropical areas (especially in Africa), desertfication due to deforestation. Many scientists think that it could result in more extreme weather as global warming progresses. The IPCC Third Annual Report says: "...global average water vapor concentration and precipitation are projected to increase during the 21st century. By the second half of the 21st century, it is likely that precipitation will have increased over northern mid- to high latitudes and Antartica in winter. At low latitudes there are both regional increases and decreases over land areas. Larger year to year variations in precipitation are very likely over most areas where an increase in mean precipitation is projected"

Consequences of Global Warming.

First of all,there are numerous consequences of Global Warming.I will try my best to summarise all the consequences into this short post.

-The would be an increased rate of evaporation
-More extreme weathers would be observed.
-There would be a rise in sea level and temperature would increase rapidly.
-Agriculture,transport and peoples homes would be destroyed.
-There would be an increase in the number of diseases spreaded by pests such as mosquitoes.

Of course there are still many consequences which i have not mentioned.If u wish to enquire more you could visit www.wikipedia.org for more detailed information.
In my next post i shall elaborate more about all these consequences.

Why is Global Warming occuring?

Greenhouse gases create a natural greenhouse effect without which temperatures on Earth would be an estimated 30 °C (54 °F) lower, so that Earth would be uninhabitable.

The primary greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4). Water is the most abundant in the atmosphere by concentration, but it is a short-term greenhouse gas and in a dynamic equilibrium in the atmosphere.

CO2 is a long-term greenhouse gas and, once added to the atmosphere can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years.

The increased CO2 in the atmosphere warms the Earth's surface and leads to melting of ice near the poles.

Seen from below, water aerosol clouds absorb infrared radiation and so exert a warming effect.

Increased global water vapor concentration may or may not cause an increase in global average cloud cover.

None of the effects of greenhouse gases are instantaneous.

What is Global Warming???

Well,Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.

Global Warmnig is becoming a serious problem in modern day society with people carring many harmful acts which in turn leads to the the depletion of the ozone layer and finally to Global Warming.

Many acts that seem harmless like driving a car thats does not have a cathylic converter which converts the hamrful gases from the car exhaust to oxygen,carbon dioxide and water leads to the depletion of the ozone layer.1 person doing it may not affect the Earth much but billions around the world contribute one way or another to Global warming,whether you like it or not even you,my dear reader also contribute to Global Warming.

Surprised?
I will further explain in my subsequent posts.
