The main effects of global warming


Global warming has negative effects on the whole world. However, in this paragraph I am going to highlight the effects of global warming on the weather, oceans, forests, humans, animals and plants species. Firstly, increasing the temperature negatively changes the climate. It results of the increase severe weather (hot), harmful rainfall and strong storms. Also, as the climate gets warmer, evaporation is increasing because of the warmer oceans. And the high temperature due to global warming leads to glacier retreat and disappearance. Secondly, global warming affects oceans by raising the sea level. As global warming is increasing the glaciers, for example, Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting. So, the water’s value expands and the sea level rises. Moreover, it increases the ocean’s temperature. The high temperature of the ocean affects the ecosystem by melting sea ice, affecting algae that grow in its underside and reducing the ocean’s ability to absorb CO2. Furthermore, it affects oceans through increasing the ocean’s acidification. Carbon dioxide which is produced by the living organisms in the oceans becomes carbonic acid. Scientists believe that increasing of acidification could have a negative impact on the marine life. It badly affects the carol reefs, calcium carbonate shells, fish and plankton. The number of these organisms is decreasing day after day because of global warming. Thirdly, raising the global temperature contributes to increase forest fires. These cause the increasing of carbon emissions into the atmosphere and reduce the overall forest area on the planet. Fourthly, global warming has a direct effect on humans. The high temperature due to climate change increases the number of people die for many reasons. They die because of heart diseases, lung diseases, etc. Finally, global warming influences not only humans but also animals and plants species. As the temperature is increasing, this means that the ecosystems will change. Some species are threatened with extinction because of the changing conditions of theirhabitats.
