Global warming means that average global temperatures are rising. However, this rise is sufficiently gradual that it is really only obvious to scientists, especially as it is interrupted by short term climatic variations and masked by regional variations.
One effect that will become obvious to coastal dwellers, even within a single lifetime, will be rising sea levels. Sea levels are now predicted to rise by between 90 and 150 centimetres over the course of the present century. Many people will be able to remember the water level at a familiar place, and marvel just how much higher it has become. Other coastal areas are expected to be inundated, a very obvious sign of rising sea levels and therefore of global warming.

Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
What effect does global warming have on tides?
Tides are the result of gravitational forces between the Earth and moon. Global warming would little effect on tidal patterns although sea levels can be affected by global warming.
Will greenhouse gas effect global warming?
yes, increases in greenhouse gasses are the dominant cause of global warming.
What is climate change global warming causing?
"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).
How does global warming affect the lithosphere?
Global Warming will effect climate change in the Atmosphere. Increased rainfall will increase erosion in the Lithosphere.
Does chlorine prevent global warming?
No, chlorine has no effect on Global Warming.
Which effect is responsible for global warming?
The enhanced greenhouse effect in our atmosphere is believed to be causing global warming.
What is the effect called?
the green house effect called global warming,and the global warming is increasing day-by-day.
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
What is the biggest issue regarding global warming?
Effect of global warming seems to be uppermost
What is the greenhouse effect called?
the green house effect called global warming,and the global warming is increasing day-by-day.
What are current threats to starfish continued survival?
Global warming.
Can the world explode by the effect of global warming?
No the warming is only a warming of the atmosphere.
Does global warming have an effect on volcanos?
No, Global warming has no effect on volcanoes. It's the other way round. Volcanoes can increase global warming slightly if the emit carbon dioxide. And they can reduce global warming for a while if their dust and ash block out and reflect the sun's rays.
What effect does global warming have on tides?
Tides are the result of gravitational forces between the Earth and moon. Global warming would little effect on tidal patterns although sea levels can be affected by global warming.
What effect will global warming have on Australia?
It will be bad
