The effects on Global Warming

Introduction

Global warming is the increase of average temperatures. It is also known as the greenhouse effect. There are certain gasses in the atmosphere which allow sunlight through to heat the earth’s surface and this cause the heat to be trapped as it radiates back into space. The average temperature around the world have risen by 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900 and the rate of warming has been nearly three times. It is not only affecting the atmosphere but the oceans too. This causes will permanently change the Earth’s climate.

National Perspective

On July 30, 2012 at Paya Gambut, Selangor, there was a fire at the forest which cause a terrible haze to the whole of Malaysia. Not only that, the fire spread

It also cause many people life to be taken away and destroy two islands in the map.

Professor Sugata Hazra discovered the disappearance of the islands and the people when he compared the maps from the Raj with satellite. He says 6,000 people were relocated in a different island because their island were destroyed by the climate change. When people moved to a new island, they were suffering because they are lacking of crops. Many take water direct from the river to supplement the wells but if the glacier dries up, so will the summer flow of the river and that will leave millions of people short of water for part of the year at a crucial time when crops are thirsty as well as people. The island they are living is in the upper reach of the river and it will might be affected by the worst tsunami. Scientists are warning them if they fail to cut emissions, the future will be hard for the people and the people who live on the margins. We know they did not cause the climate problem but they are likely to suffer most from it.
