Climate change could cause sea level rise so that a small Pacific Island country, Kiribati, could go underwater, and all the population of more than 100,000 would have no homes, no stores, no government and no country!
Some of the many things one can do to have a positive effect on global warming causes are to recycle, use less air conditioning and heat, drive less, plant trees, use energy-efficient products, and use less hot water.
Landslides happen because of increased rain softening the earth on the side of a mountain. They also occur where people have removed trees which anchored the earth. Removing trees has an effect on global warming, and one of the results of global warming is increased rainfall in some areas. So there is some connection.
Global warming does not directly cause the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer is primarily caused by human-produced chemicals known as ozone-depleting substances (such as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs). While global warming and ozone depletion are related environmental issues, they have distinct causes and impacts.
Global warming statistics are available on many different online websites. The NASA Climate government website is one of the most reliable sources with constantly updated statistics on global warming.
Any one person's electricity consumption makes an extremely small contribution to global warming, but any one person can also make a contribution to minimising global warming by reducing electricity consumption as much as possible. Every small increment in greenhouse gas emissions is moving us closer to the future when uncontrolled global warming could have catastrophic effects on our economic and social wellbeing. Electricity is usually generated by burning fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - releasing additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the continued release of new carbon dioxide into the atmosphere results in global warming. Global warming, in turn, causes climate change - more frequent storms, flooding, drought, and rising sea levels. If allowed to continue out of control, this will have a catastrophic effect on our economic and social wellbeing.
no one knows global warming
One of the effects of deforestation is increased global warming.
Big Ones: Global warming, Glacial disappearance; curtailing possible Sea Level Rise is a Very Big One.
The possible effects from global warming have caused great concern. It is possible that I could be a millionaire one day.
global warming for one and the poisoning of our water suply
Burning fossil fuel adds greenhouses gases to the atmosphere.
Global warming of The Oceans has already occurred.
Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. It also dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, one form of acid rain. So reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have a positive effect on global warming and acid deposition.
Global warming COULD change wind patterns completely. It COULD also have little or no effect. No one, absolutely no one, is completely sure what will happen. Various computer models have been made, most of which do not agree.
Some of the many things one can do to have a positive effect on global warming causes are to recycle, use less air conditioning and heat, drive less, plant trees, use energy-efficient products, and use less hot water.
One possible outcome of global warming is sea level rise, which can lead to coastal flooding and erosion. This can threaten coastal communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems.
