Dummies Guide To Global Warming

by Tradepla

We have all heard the comments that changes in temperature could
lead to drought, more disease and rising sea levels a million
times.We have also  heard the warnings of global warming for
almost a decade.

The push is on to promote green living to help save the
environment and stop some of the effects of global warming. So
the question that still bugs many of us are - what is really
global warming and how does it affects us? Is it some false alarm
by scientists and political leaders out to win the voters heart?
Are those threats real or is this just hype to further political
awareness? Let us find out -

What is Global Warming - Global warming refers to the
temperature of the earth near surface air. It allows the earth to
be habitable, as it absorbs some of the heat from the sun.

Effects of Global Warming - Greenhouse gases that have been
released into the earth's atmosphere are contributing to the rise
in the surface air temperature. What impact is this having on
earth right now? Scientists show that the average temperature has
risen in the last century.

It is believed that most of that increase has come in the last
couple of decades. With the increase steadily rising, scientists
believe that it will continue to rise at an even faster pace for
the future.

Rise in Sea Levels - With the melting of the ice, we are seeing
a rise in the sea levels. Currently, the rise is a small amount,
but since the temperatures are soaring at a fairly rapid rate,
the rise will become a problem in the future.

The water level will be raised to a point where flooding will
occur, which could make it difficult in pumping it out of the
areas where people live. Precipitation is increasing as well.

Storms and Hurricanes - The amount of rainfall and snowfall is
increasing over time. Storms are not only becoming more abundant,
but we are starting to see them increase in intensity as well.
Hurricanes will probably occur more often, be stronger and reach
farther inland.

Floods - The warming temperatures are also causing more
evaporation to occur. The more evaporating we see, the more
chances for these storms to develop, which could ultimately
result in the high category hurricanes, we are seeing today.  The
heavier rainfalls will occur, driving people from their flooded
homes.

Animal Extinction - The ecosystems are seeing hardships, too.
Some species of animals are slowly moving northward for livable
conditions, while other species are slowly dwindling in numbers
and struggling to survive extinction. Arctic ice is slowly
disappearing over time. The warmer temperatures caused by the
global warming effects are melting the ice. Polar bears are
feeling the effects of the melting ice as they find themselves
stranded in the middle of the open sea. Ultimately, these polar
bears are losing their life by drowning in the seas trying to
find more ice patches to climb onto.

Drought and Diseases - Changes in temperature could lead to
drought, more disease and rising sea levels, which are likely to
hit developing countries harder. There will be disappearance of
some species and that vectors like the mosquitoes that cause
malaria were getting more favourable habitats.Other than malaria,
cholera, dysentery and diarrhoea were likely to become common as
the low-lying areas were likely to get flooded after the melting
of ice at the Arctic and Antarctica.

Global warming is showing some slow effects right now, but they
are believed to increase over time unless we start to do
something to reverse it. By using some green living methods in
our daily lives, we can slow down those disastrous effects to
save the planet for our heirs.
