Climate models show that atmospheric temperatures will increase by between 1.5 and 4.5 C by the year 2100 if a " Wait and See and Do Nothing " approach is adopted. The global temperature increase since the last ice age ( about 10,000 years ago ) has been about 5 C. Temperature and precipitation patterns in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, which appear to be becoming more tropical. There is less of a difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, and rainfall tends to more often come in intense bursts. The greenhouse effect and sea level rise threaten our existence. Since oceans absorb more heat than land areas. The best guess forecast for sea level rise is a global average between 3 and 10 millimeters per year. As more than 70 per cent of the world's population live on coastal plains, the potential for massive personal, economic and physical dislocation becomes clear ..
Part of this comes from the expansion of water, as it was getting warm. Apart from the widespread melting of mountain glaciers. About 17 percent of the rise remains unexplained. With a large number of the world's cities in coastal areas, this is a significant problem. There are two major causes of rising sea levels. Firstly, extra water is produced when ice melts causing by warmer weather. Secondly, the natural expansion of Ocean water as it becomes warmer. The range of sea ice around both poles continues to shrink and melts. Even with the level of greenhouse gases present today, by the scientist around the world estimated that the earth may warm enough in the next 50 years or so to completely melt the sea ice located on the poles. As warmer oceans cause more intense storms. Damage from rising seas is very diverse. Buildings and roads close to the water could be flooded and they could suffer damage from hurricanes and tropical storms. There are also effects on agricultural production and water resource. A slight increase of that would also be enough to make deserts hotter and drier or increased frequency of forest fires, or would melt a third or more of the world's mountain glaciers. Since the mid 1980s an unprecedented number of intense fires have destroyed forests and homes across most continents. Poor soils may also limit the rate at which tree species can spread. Thus, the range over which a particular species is found may tend to be squeezed as areas become inhospitably hot. The net result is that some forests may tend to have a less diverse mix of tree species ..
Global warming also changes in rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind. They are all likely the side effects of global warming, and just a few of the elements that can effect the quality of water used for
drinking, recreational, and commercial purposes. In addition, seafood from contaminated water, or fresh produce irrigated with contaminated water, can carry disease ..
Weather has a profound effect on human health and well being. As average temperatures slowly rising up in coming decades. The effects of a warmer climate may begin to take a toll. Particularly those who
cannot afford air conditioning, or are already physically weaker ( elderly ) are going to have a harsh life. Global warming is also expected to result in more extreme weather events, just like heavy storms and floods. Beyond a rise in weather related injuries and fatalities powerful storms. The secondary health impacts of extreme weather, such as bacterial illnesses resulting from damaged public facilities like having lack of clean drinking water and psychological problems from the mental stress of experiencing a natural disaster. Health problems will vary dramatically around the world. Climate change may benefit ecological conditions for insect growth and abundance which is likely to have a negative effect on crop, livestock, and forest production in some areas. Major health impacts are possible, especially in large urban areas, owing to changes in availability of water and food and increased health problems due to heat stress and spreading of infections. Moths, beetles, and spiders might seem like innocuous household pests, but in a global warming world they have the potential to wreak havoc on crops, forests, and human health. According to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) there are already 110 million cases of malaria and up to 2 million deaths from it worldwide each year. Increases in temperatures are creating ideal mosquito breeding conditions in new regions, including the USA, Australia, UK, Bangladesh, China, and Egypt and continue spreading all around the world. Our health is threatened by climate change. Malaria, asthma, encephalitis, tuberculosis, leprosy, dengue fever, and measles are all expected to become more common through the world due to global warming ..
Air quality in many parts of the country is already considered unhealthy. With global warming adding to it, it is only going to get worse and worse. No element of the natural world is more essential to life than air, and no environmental task more critical than keeping it cleans. Because electricity power plants and motor vehicles are by far the biggest sources of air pollution, from lung damage to acid rain to global warming. Air pollution and heat advisory warnings should specifically target children and the elderly. For example, as air gets hotter, it mixes with sunlight and produces ozone smog, which damages human lungs, as well as trees and vegetation. A related problem is an inevitable increase in air conditioning use. Power plant emissions will also increase if additional controls are not established ..
Global warming would reduce global food production, increase prices and cause new uncertainties about food supplies. That means the demand for food will be higher than the demand of supply of food in the future caused by global warming. Significant declines in grain yields are forecast for Africa, tropical Latin America and much of India and Southeast Asia. Reduced yields are also projected for the USA, Canada, the Middle East, and southern Europe ..
The potential costs of cutting greenhouse gas emissions might sacrifice economic growth or our standard of living in challenging of climate change. By doing this we might need to change in behavior. In the short term, changes in economic activity that could impose costs on society. The costs of climate change reflect the magnitude of the emissions reduction, the timing of these reductions, and the means of implementation. The Globe rule to protect the environment. Today, action is occurring at every level to reduce, to avoid, and to better understand the risks brought by climate change and their harmful affects. Many cities and states around the world have prepared greenhouse gas inventories and many are actively pursuing programs, education, advertisement, and policies that will result in greenhouse gas emission reductions. Encouraging people in recycle program and planting trees ..
The world is undoubtedly warming. This warming is largely the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion, and changes in land use, such as deforestation. Addressing the climate change is no simple task. To protect ourselves, our economy, and our land from the adverse effects of climate change, we must reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. To achieve this we must fundamentally transform the way we power our global economy, shifting away from a century’s legacy of unrestrained fossil fuel use and its associated emissions in pursuit of more efficient and renewable sources of energy. Such a transformation will require society to engage in a concerted effort, over the near and long term, to seek out opportunities and design actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ..
