... wide concern. 3.2 Small Average Global Temperature Can Have A Big Impact Just a few degrees increase in the earth's temperature can cause droughts and crop failures, ecosystem imbalances, as well as melting ice caps causing sea levels to rise. The best estimates by the CSIRO predict annual warming over Australia by 2030 to be ~1 °C. (Climate Change in Australia CSIRO Report) WWF's report &tilde ... they died, it implied oxygen levels were low and signaled mine workers to get out. Satellite observations show the arctic sea ice decreasing, and projections for the rest of the century predi...

... gases to a lower level, global temperatures could rise 1.6 to 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100. This would represent the fastest rate of global warming since the end of the last ice age more than 10,000 years ago. With the increased warming of the Earth it could lead to catastrophic events that could endanger living species on our planet. One event ... enough money to pay the price for food. Another event that would occur from global warming is the drastic rise in sea level. As the Earth warms up, the polar ice caps will start to melt. This would put immense amounts of water into...

... light in, but keep heat from escaping. The Effects of Global Warming The effects of global warming are devastating. The Earth is changing before our very eyes. Glaciers and sea ice are melting, which is rising the sea levels and ruining habitats. The oceans are getting warmer and more acidic, too. This has effected polar bears, whales, and sea plankton. Precipitation ... around the globe has increased, including stronger hurricanes and tropical storms. There has been extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and wild fires. This has been destructing both animal and hu...

... effects of global warming, especially at a local level. Scientists have been able, however, to predict some changes that will effect us globally. Some of these changes are already taking place. Ice caps in the Arctic Ocean have decreased in size, while global sea levels have raised 4-8 inches in the past century. Precipitation has risen worldwide by about one percent. Extreme forms ... of precipitation have become more common. Without some sort of regulation, the problem may become much worse. Some consequences we may face in the future include: even stronger storms, depleted soil moist...

Doom Sayers predicts that the increasing of concentrated gases are likely to accelerate the rate of climate change.Resulting in polar ice caps melting which could cause the sea level to rise by a foot and a swampy coastal communities. Warmer temperatures could increase health risks,including the spread of disease.
