The reality of Climate Change

Suffering a lot, the world is being killed by Global Warming. This problem may result from greenhouse effect and it is an the increase in the average temperature of the Earth´s atmosphere, especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate. While It can be said that greenhouse effect is the thickening of earth atmosphere because of the presence of increased carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

As regards the causes of this affection, we are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily drives up the planet’s temperature. Where does all this carbon come from? The fossil fuels we burn for energy—coal, natural gas, and oil—plus the loss of forests due to deforestation. So that, we can see that human activity is the primary cause.

Global Warming is having significant and costly effects and these consequences will only intensify as the planet´s temperature continues to rise.

One effect is climate change; the world is becoming warmer and warmer. This results in more frequent and intense heat waves. Besides, dangerously hot weather is already occurring more frequently around the whole world.

Another effect is that Global warming is accelerating the rate of sea level rise and dramatically increasing coastal flooding risks. Thus, the coastal cities and ports may be submerged under sea-water. Many islands may vanish from the earth's surface as well as from the world map.

A third effect is related to water balance. In the future, warmer world will face a water crisis in some parts while in other regions it will be wetter than it is now.

The last and may be a more important effect is referred to human health put at risk because of Global Warming. Nowadays, climate change has costly and growing health impacts as the significant implications for our health, including increased air pollution and a longer and more intense tropical diseases season, for example allergy.

In conclusion, Global warming and Greenhouse effect are happening now and they are here to stay, so we must take immediate action to address them, or the consequences will continue to intensify and increasingly affect the entire planet, including you, your community and your family.
