Global Warming and Climate Change: The Facts

Have you ever wondered what exactly is up with global warming? This informative report can give you an insight into everything you've ever wanted to know about global warming.

The effects of global warming are climate change, rise in sea level, etc. Global warming can also leave vegetation more susceptible to insect infestation. Droughts weaken a tree's immune and defence systems and allow for insects such as the Spruce Budworm to colonize forests and decrease the productivity and value of the trees and forest as a whole. Global warming is having a dramatic impact on our lives. Put simply, our planet is heating up at a rate which in unsustainable.

Global warming will influence human lives negatively, death due to heat waves will occur, infectious disease like malaria will become common with the increasing temperature. Changes in climate not only affect our bodies but also harm our crops. Global warming is real. It is not the result of a natural climatic adjustment. Global warming refers to the Earth's air and oceans gradually heating up to a point that disrupts balance, a problem that is continually getting worse. It sounds like a problem too massive for any one individual to take on, but it really isn't.

Global warming is also leading to more dramatic swings in the weather in some areas. Since the early 20th century, the amount of rain dropped in the biggest 1% of storms each year has risen 20%. Global warming may affect some parts of our society negatively but would likely benefit others.

If you find yourself confused by what you've read to this point, don't despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.

Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. Global warming is real. It is not the result of a natural climatic adjustment. Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it.

Global warming, even most sceptics have concluded, is the real deal, and human activity has been causing it. If there was any consolation, it was that the glacial pace of nature would give us decades or even centuries to sort out the problem. Global warming has left its clearest fingerprint on heat waves. Since the record scorcher of 1998, the average annual temperatures in the United States in six of the past 10 years have been among the hottest 10 percent on record. Global warming is something that is going to happen very slowly (at least in human terms.) There will be no "Day after tomorrow". It will have an initial effect in the developing world, but not for another generation.

Global warming has so far and will continue to have negative effects on the glacier mass balance. From 1900-1980 there has been a recorded decline from 144 to 142 mountain glaciers. Global warming would also bring more heat waves like the one in the summer of 2003 that killed 31,000 people across Europe. It might even shut down the Gulf Stream, the flow of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico that gives Europe its mild climate.
