Rising Sea levels
The rise of temperature, even to a few degrees, could lead to the melting
of ice shelves that hold back glaciers. This results in rising sea levels.
The Larsen area of North Antarctic, South of Chili and Argentina have lost
more than 5,200 sq miles of area.
The Effects of Global Warming on Land animals
Global warming can disrupt the migration, hibernation and reproductive cycles
of certain types of animals. Plants and animals will find it hard to escape
or adjust to the effects of warming because humans occupy so much land. Farmland
or cities interrupt the movement of species between habitats.
Health & Global Warming
Extreme temperatures can directly cause the loss of life (ex: 35,000 people
died during heat wave in Europe, Aug‘03.)
Warmer weather provides an ideal breeding environment for mosquitoes. Diseases
such as West Nile will be more common.
Health & Global Warming
High temperature can increase pollution of water and air, which harms the human body.
Tropical Diseases
Global Warming increases drought which lessens the supply of clean drinking water.
It increases temperature providing an ideal breeding environment for mosquitoes.
IMPACT ON AIR
The atmosphere’s ultimate fate is unclear.
More evaporation ? increase in cloud cover
How High Will the Clouds Be? It makes a difference!
