Global Warming's Effect On The Environment

Environment is everyone’s responsibility. Global warming has become the biggest threat to the precious environment. It is the most critical and controversial issue in this twenty-first century. Global warming is gradually increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. According to Dizon (2015), the world’s hottest year was recorded to be 2010 tied with 2005 however year 2014 had surpassed the record since then. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Natural phenomena have change for the past few centuries as the glaciers at the poles have melt, flora and

The most significant effect of global warming is temperature change. Global warming causes the climate system become warmer. The rise of temperature in global average air and ocean temperature, large amount of snow and ice have melted, and the increases level of sea water are the evidences of warmer climate system. According to Haldar (2011), temperatures on land increased twice faster than the ocean temperatures this shows that different part of the global temperature changes differently. The temperature on land increase faster than the ocean due to the high heat capacity of the sea water in addition of the process of evaporation occurs on the ocean surface help to reduce the

Most of the changes in biological system happens on the aquatic and marine life (Casper, 2010). The world’s tropical climate areas suffering because of the global warming because the corals in the ocean are undergoing a process called bleaching by turning to white from colourful coloured corals which will lead to dying. Moreover, this problem will lead to the extinction of animal such as polar bears. The increases of global temperature will cause the ice at the Artic melting at a faster rates than normal causing the polar bears stranded, their feeding and breeding ground will destroyed which will lead to the starvation and drown of polar bears. According to Sherwood and Huber (2010), global warming can bring direct implication in form of heat stress to human and other mammals. People believe that human bodies can adapt or tolerate to the temperature and climate change but human cannot overcome the heat stress when it already reached it peak. Heat stress can bring fatalities from natural phenomena in form of warm night, lifestyle change due to the hot day, and lower the work productivity of people living at the low altitude. The last aspect of global warming is ways to reduce it. There is no solution to global warming hence one of the ways to reduce it is by avoid high gas prices and carbon productions. Cars, buses and planes are the biggest contribution to global
