Global_Warming

Global warming is such a serious issue, but every day we are making it worse by driving gas guzzling cars, and polluting the air with carbons, and other gases. The environment needs to start helping by recycling, car pooling, and finding new renewable resources to survive on that are not harmful to the environment. In this research paper the author will explain how global warming affects the earth and the environment. Global Environment is dangerous because it can spread more diseases to around earth. Also the author will explain why global warming will cause the weather to worsen over time. He will also go over all of the economic consequences that we will face due to global warming. Due to global warming ice caps in the Arctic are melting and causing sea levels to rise. My personal experience was very good there was a lot of helpful information on the internet about global warming. Since global warming is such a serious issue there have been many discussions on the effects of global warming. One discussion has been brought up about why global warming brings more diseases. During the talk of this topic the author wondered what diseases global warming will bring. The author found many diseases that will be spread including Lyme disease that is normally spread through ticks. Also the plague has a chance of being spread by rodents and their fleas while they are moving due to climate change. There has also been talk about what countries will bring the most diseases. Developing and third world countries will have more diseases spread around their countries. Developing countries will experience more diseases until they can get air conditioning and screen windows. Also Developing countries that do not have all of the modern medicines will run into more deaths from diseases caused from global warming. Because of global warming many very deadly diseases will spread throughout various countries. Avian influenza viruses occur naturally in wild birds, changes in climate such as severe winter storms and droughts can disrupt normal movements of wild birds and can bring both wild and domestic bird populations into greater contact at remaining water sources. Ebola fever virus easily kills humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees, and there is currently no known cure. Scientists continue to work on finding the source of the disease and to develop vaccines for protection. There is significant evidence that outbreaks of this disease are related to unusual variations in rainfall/dry season patterns. As climate change disrupts and exaggerates seasonal patterns, we may expect to see outbreaks of these deadly diseases occurring in new locations and with more frequency. The earth's climate has always been changing, although not at an abrupt rate. There had been periods of warming and cooling in the earth's 4.65 billion-year history. Storms will also occur with more frequency and intensity. The next big question that the author was wondering is why wills global warming to worsen' The weather will get worse because of increasing weather and more tropical storms. With warmer weather, some hurricanes will be more severe and winds are expected to blow stronger. Why does global warming increase storms' For every 1.8-degree increase in average ocean surface temperature, data observed a 45-percent increase in the frequency of the very high clouds. With more clouds and rising air and water temperatures it creates more intense winds. Also Tropical clouds are linked with severe storms, torrential rain and hail. There is also a lot of talk about why hurricanes will become worse due to global warming. Hurricanes and typhoons have become stronger and longer lasting over the past 30 years while temperatures have been rising. Also the intensity of hurricanes and typhoons should increase by 5 percent for every 1.8ºF rise in sea surface temperature. With changes in climate brought about by global warming, health concerns and risks may also increase. The author also has been wondering what kind of weather changes will occur due to global warming' The water vapor content of the atmosphere will increase in a warmer world. It is also possible that wind patterns may shift. Extremely cold periods may be experienced as well. Warmer weather will cause hurricanes to be more frequent and more severe and winds are expected to blow stronger. Human activities such as deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions from a wide range of industrial and agricultural processes are contributing to those temperature changes at a greater rate today than in the past. With these rising temperatures the economy needs to do something to reduce green house gases and help with global warming. Global warming has become one of the most pressing issues of modern society. In particular the economic effects of global warming are very important. Which comes to another of the author’s questions, what economic consequences will we face due to global warming' There will be many economic consequences like rising food prices, rising sea level, storm damages, loss of wildlife, and migration. Another discussion is what big companies will be affected by global warming' Prices of Oil will go up some big oil companies will make more money. Energy companies will make more money because energy bills will be more expensive in people’s houses. Global warming is causing desertification of agricultural land. This is compounded by a shortage of water. This will cause problems in supplying food leading to rising prices. This will particularly affect countries which are net importers of food. This could harm the agriculture around the world. Increasingly warmer temperatures led to lower crop yields. Those lower crop yields amounted to a net economic loss of $5 billion a year. Global warming is causing sea levels to rise. This will cause structural damage and loss of land. A serious issue today is How expensive will storm and weather damages be' Global warming increases hurricanes and storms and hurricane Katrina caused $80 billion worth of damages alone. Costs to clean up after storms and other natural disasters reached a record $180 billion in 2005. This has led to huge insurance payouts. In 2007, the floods in the UK could be due to global warming. This will lead to higher insurance premiums. Changing temperatures can cause havoc for wildlife. The economic cost may be hard to evaluate, but, if species go extinct it may prevent future medicines being invented. It is argued that higher temperatures may lead to increased food production in some countries. This conflicts with the issue of desertification. Some areas will have increased production, some areas lower production. Also lower heating bills for cold countries. But higher air conditioning costs for warm countries. The rise in Temperatures is only temporary. Some argue that world temperatures have always fluctuated and this rise in temperatures will only be temporary. With all this being said the government needs to step in and help out the economy. The money that the government would spend right now would help out in the long run because they could save the planet and save money overtime. After the author’s conclusion in this research, that Ice caps melting in the arctic are making sea levels rise. Rising sea levels cause warmer ocean waters in the future. The warming of ocean waters cause higher climates and more tropical storms. With higher climates there are many disadvantages and few advantages. Climate is changing is obvious, not only when considering one regional change taking place in the Arctic but when examining what is happening on a global scale. We need to find new ways to reduce greenhouse gases to help save our environment. . The environment needs to start helping by recycling, car pooling, and finding new renewable resources to survive on that are not harmful to the environment. By using renewable resources we can help by not producing as much pollution. Also by using biodegradable resources we cannot pollute our soil and ruin our wildlife and nature. The author enjoyed learning about global warming and its terrible effects. His personal experience makes him want to help our planet out and go green. Learning about pollution and all the ways that people cause global warming can make a person realize everything they can do about global warming. When Ice caps are melting in the arctic it causes sea levels to rise and that brings damages to the land, and also the environment is losing more land every year. Global warming is a serious issue in our economy and if we don’t do things to help out now it might be too late. Personal skills that the author has learned have taught him to recycle and car pool so there are not burn as many fossil fuels burned. Also reduce the ecological footprint. To reduce your ecological footprint you and help and not pollute the earth, and also reduce the amount of land that you use. While reducing the amount of land that is used you can share it with other people and use less land for more things that are needed to be done. Overall the author concludes that Melting ice caps cause weather to be worse, and if you do not help with the economy then global warming is just going to get worse.
