Question

Briefly, How does global warming affect the environment?

Answer 1

it thins our o-zone layer and this event will start to kill us in the long run.

Answer 2

Effects include rising sea levels (results in flooding), changes in seasonal patterns, increased evaporation, erosion (which can lead to desertification), forest fires, increased agricultural yield (due to increased amounts of CO2 needed for photosynthesis) and health (due to increase in temperature and spread of diseases such as malaria)

Answer 3

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global warming affects the climate.

Answer 4

1. Affect rainfall pattern.

2. It will affect the sea temprature and will destroy coral reefs and increase frequency of tropical cyclones.

3. Ice sheets might melt.. which means less heat will be reflected back (ice reflects heat) which means more melting and the cycle will continue.

Answer 5

It melts ice caps which makes the sea level rise and destroys our o-zone layer.

Answer 6

Global warming firstly is not just a warming of our climate.  It is a global phenomena which causes certain parts of the world to heat up and other parts to cool down.

There are many factors you must take into consideration when looking at global warming.  The oceans are a major factor in determining our weather & temperature.  They cool the land in some places and warm it in other places.

The main causes of concern of global warming on the environment is: (briefly)

Heating/cooling of the climate having consequences on humans, animals, flora, fauna, agriculture, resources (water) etc.

Rising sea level - due to melting of glaciers, higher frequency of storm events, more rainfall etc.

Loss of land, creation of new land due to rising sea level & deposition, accretion and erosion

Loss of habitats, creation of new habitats due to shift/increase in sea level.
