Global Warming Effects

Many problems could result from global warming. One of the biggest problems is raising sea level due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice. This could result in the flooding of low lying coastal areas and cities, such as Egypt, the Netherlands, and Bangladesh. Some countries might even disappear completely. Another problem caused by global warming is increased hurricanes, floods, and other unusual weather.

Other effect associated with global warming is the effect on animals such as polar bears, penguins and amphibians. As a further effect of global warming, diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have been extinguished earlier such as Italy and some countries in North America.

The result of that issue is in 2005 was Earth’s warmest year in a century, according to NASA climatologist. The year 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were the next four runners-up.

Polar bears face serious threats from global warming. The bears depend on sea ice as a platform from which they can hunt seals, their main prey. As more sea ice melts and polar bears are left with rocky ground like that shown in the picture.

Specific effect of global warming

There are many effects of global warming (as it has for causes). Some of the effects include an increase of flooding, storms, and rising sea-levels. This will cause many animals to migrate and do a lot of damage to animals' habitats. Coral reefs is also one of what global warming affects, and I chose it because it is one of the major effects.Coral reefs serve as a home, feeding area, and shelter for many fish, plants and animals. The increase in surface temperature can kill them and global warming is the cause of the surface temperature increasing. Coral reefs are sensitive organisms and the CO2 we produce over the years can kill all of them in no time unless we do something about the amount of CO2 we produce.
