Global warming is a significant concern that is not a particular
problem, but a set of environmental concerns. Global warming is an
uptick in the planet's surface temperature that has altered
different aspects of life on the earth. The global warming
challenges are classified into two groups, namely "natural" and
"human" global warming factors.
For decades, the atmosphere has been constantly evolving. Global
warming occurs as the sun's gradual rotation increases the force of
radiation and travels closer to the surface.
Greenhouse emissions are also another source of global warming. Carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide are greenhouse gases that absorb solar heat rays and prohibit them from escaping from the earth's surface. This has prompted the earth's temperature to rise.
Another aspect that causes global warming is volcanic eruptions. A single volcanic eruption, for example, can unleash carbon dioxide and ash into the atmosphere.
As carbon dioxide rises, the world's temperature increases and the solar radiation is absorbed in the world by greenhouse. Greenhouse emissions will remain in the atmosphere for several years , up from 100 years before. The effects that global warming will trigger on Earth, however, is very dangerous. There are also consequences that, if global warming occurs, will arise in the future. This involves melting polar ice caps, economic effects, cooler oceans and more storms, disease outbreak and earthquakes.
Melting the polar ice caps is the first consequence. The ice at the north pole will melt as the temperature increases. The first impact on sea levels would be intensified after the ice melts and the melting glaciers become seas. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Centre, "the oceans will increase some 230 feet if the ice melted today." This impacts a variety of low-lying zones, such as the Netherlands. In the future, if the North Pole sinks, the Netherlands will be flooded by water. It won't be that soon, however, because the sea level will begin to increase.
The species' lack of habitat is another consequence. Because of climate change, animals that include polar bears and tropical frogs may be endangered. Besides, since species are not like humans, different birds can migrate to other areas. The ecosystem that shifts its life or temperature can not be adapted.
