What are some examples of the effects of Global Warming?

Answer 1

Three examples of evidence of global warming:

1. The ice sheets at the poles (north and south) are melting and retreating, which can only happen when the temperature is above the freezing point of the ice.

2. The air temperature today is, on average, warmer than the historical average from the late 1800s through about 1950.

3. The weather patterns are becoming more extreme, with more powerful and unusual storms coming earlier or later in the year than what is historically typical. The summers are tending to be warmer and the winters are tending to be colder, and the areas and amounts of precipitation are also shifting. All of these items are predicted based upon an overall warmer atmospheric temperature.

The cause of global warming is human activity, specifically the burning of fossil fuels which releases millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. As the amount of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, more of the sun's radiant energy is trapped as heat, causing global warming. Other activities that are contributing to global warming include massive deforestation projects and the emission of methane and several other air pollutants.

Answer 2

Some examples of the effects of global warming include rising temperatures, more frequent and severe extreme weather events such as storms and heatwaves, melting glaciers and polar ice caps leading to rising sea levels, and shifts in ecosystems that can impact plant and animal species.

Answer 3

• Glaciers melting
• Sea levels rising
• Pacific Island countries going underwater
• Famine in Africa, worse than now
• Animal and bird species dying out

Answer 4

For example, the tundra. It usually is extremely cold but since the earth is getting warmer, the ice caps are starting to melt.

Answer 5

it causes lot of air pollution, as a result of which the Earth absorbs more heat. when it gets heated up, it causes the glaciers to melt, increasing the sae level.

Answer 6

The primary example is Climate Change.
