Global Warming
THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
Introduction
One of the most agent controversial topics that are discussed in the world is global warming. Global warming and its effects are real and various scientists unlock the past mysteries and analyze today's activities, they issue warnings that the future generations will be in jeopardy. Overwhelming evidence that the world's climate is changing due to various human activities exists. Since the industrial revolution, various human activities such as agriculture, fossil fuels, land use, burning of biomass, waste disposal, transportation, power stations among others have led to the increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases. These human activities have led to the rapid change of the atmosphere than before and have led to unpredictable and far reaching social economic and environmental effects. The purpose of this paper is to explain the effects of global warming on pollution, health, plants and animals and economy.
Effects of global warming animals and plants
One of the severe impacts of global warming on plants and animals is that it leads to extinction of the helpless animals and plants that cannot be able to adapt to the environments characterized by increased precipitation, very high temperatures and dry soils that are caused by human activities such as fossil fuel burning. For instance, the polar bears will be the first one to die because they use arctic summer sea ice to hunt for their food. As the ice is broken down, the bears have less food hunting time. The University of Washington scientists predicts that by the year 2040, the Arctic summer sea ice will disappear completely and they will negatively change the habitat for beluga whales, ring seals, sea birds and penguins. In the year 2007, many walruses were forced to move to the beaches in Alaska because the sea ice which was their habitat had extremely melted. In Canada, the Caribou have experienced die offs due to heavier snowfalls that cover their food
