Global warming is melting the ice caps (Greenland and Antarctica) and the glaciers. As the ocean water warms it also expands. All this is raising the sea levels. There is enough ice in these ice caps to raise sea levels by about 200 feet (60 metres). This will not flood all the earth, but many coastal cities are built on low-lying land. This is why it is important to slow and stop global warming.
A:There are many reasons to think that. You could check NASA website, for example. I wrote a book called "Global Warming, Global Flood" and a FREE version with about 60 pages (one third of the book) is available, please visit www prophezeiung dot net and ask for the free version.The frequency and severity of floods are expected to increase due to global warming, with some regions already experiencing more intense flooding events. The exact timeline for when different parts of the world will see an increase in flooding will vary depending on several factors such as local climate, geography, and human interventions. However, as global temperatures continue to rise, the risk of flooding is projected to grow in the coming decades.
I wonder how we can mitigate the effects of global warming before irreversible damage is done to our planet. I am curious about the role of technology and innovation in finding solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down climate change.
The term is "global warming," which refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature.
No because the Kyoto protocol assumes human beings are responsible for global warming. This is unlikely to be the case because the earth has gone through numerous cycles of warming and cooling going back long before human beings were a significant presence on this planet. Ever heard of the Ice Ages? There were several. Global warming and cooling are a function of solar activity and people can't control the sun.
Global warming is a long-term increase in Earth's overall temperature, which is occurring in all seasons. However, the effects of global warming, such as rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather events, can be more noticeable in certain seasons depending on the region.
Global warming refers to the long-term warming trend of the Earth's climate system, which is driven by increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While the planet is warming overall, this doesn't mean that every single location will experience warmer temperatures all the time. Cold weather in a specific location at a specific time does not negate the broader trend of global warming.
There are many long term consequences. Global warming, floods etc are some of the examples.
Long term effects of ozone layer are many. These include global warming, floods, less food etc.
Global warming is detrimental because it leads to rising temperatures, which can result in severe weather patterns, such as droughts, floods, and hurricanes. These events can disrupt ecosystems, damage infrastructure, and threaten human health. Additionally, global warming is linked to the melting of polar ice caps and the rise of sea levels, which can have long-term impacts on coastal communities and biodiversity.
Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.

The correct term is 'global warming'. It refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. 'Global warning' is not a recognized term in the context of climate change.
Global warming is an effect of climate change. Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. Global warming specifically refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels.
The term is "global warming," which refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature.
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, predominantly since the mid-20th century. The trend of global warming continues to be a significant environmental issue that requires immediate attention and action to mitigate its impacts.
