North Pole
It has already been affected, and most scientists around the world agree that everything, to some extent, has felt the influence of global warming. It has been estimated that species of plants and animals are dying today at the same rate as they did when the dinosaurs became extinct.
Water would be the most sensitive to additional energy. We would see warming there first.
All regions will be affected. Global warming is happening all round the world, as the wind blows greenhouse gases everywhere. So pollution from one country will cause global warming even in Antarctica, where there are no emissions.
Basically our Sun is heating up and it is getting hotter, the north pole is surrounded by ice and ice only. this is melting the ice and it is making the oceans rise, Global Warming has been happening for ages (since the ice age) there is nothing to worry about.
No, global warming has been rising steadily since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Most of the warming has taken place in the last 80 years, but there is no bounce.
It's called global warming because it affects the globe, which is to say, the world. It affects everyone. So far, the effects are minor in most places. Residents of the Arctic have felt the greatest effects.
Yes, most of the world is concerned about global warming.
It suggests that those who caused global warming will be the ones who suffer because of the warming. This is only partly true, as the richest countries have been most responsible for global warming, but it is the people of poorer countries that will probably suffer the most.
Yes, the ten hottest years on record have all occurred since 1998.
No. The Antarctic is extremely cold, much colder than the Arctic, so the warming at the South Pole is very slow. Perhaps the area most affected is the Arctic, where sea ice is melting more and more every summer.
Africa is the continent most vulnerable to climate change. It already suffers regular famines, and agriculture and food production are threatened by any future warming. Other areas affected are the Arctic, small island nations, and the large flat river deltas of Asia.
No! The ozone layer is completely separate from global warming. Ozone levels are affected by chemical compounds called CFCs, which are no longer used in most countries, but used to be in aerosol sprays and fridges. Global warming is affected by levels of greenhouse gasses, like carbon dioxide, trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is given off from cars and when electricity is produced.
