What are the consequences of global warming

Global Warming

Global warming is known to increase global surface temperatures, as methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide and ozone are increasing. These gases are known as greenhouse gases that make the Earth's surface warm. The greenhouse gases are too high, as these gases restrict infrared radiation, leading to an increase in temperature within the earth's atmosphere. This rise has many harmful effects on the Earth's surface, as we will tell you in this article.

Results of global warming

Drought and floods

Evaporation is increasing in both the sea and the land as the weather intensifies, causing drought in different regions of the world, especially those that do not compensate for evaporation with more rainfall. In the form of rain, causing flooding.

Snow and ice decrease

Snow areas around the world are currently experiencing a significant decline. Snow melting is faster than expected in the estimates cited in the report of the Panel on Climate Change, especially in areas that rely on meltwater from mountainous areas, Drinking water, and thus to drought.

High temperatures

High temperatures cause more extreme heat waves, severe rainfall, and the possibility of a number of thunderstorms.

Sea level rise

There is a rise in sea level for two reasons, melting ice and snow, often due to the thermal expansion of the sea. It should be noted that thermal expansion takes a long time, and if the temperature rises by two degrees Celsius causes the rise in sea level meter.

Bring epidemics and diseases

Global warming increases the risk of disease outbreaks among marine, wild and animal plants with an increased risk of human transmission.

Phenomena expected to occur as a result of global warming

• Some agricultural disasters occur, such as loss of some crops.

• Increased likelihood of severe weather conditions.

• The disappearance of coastal cities and some islands as a result of their sinking.

• The spread of infectious epidemics in the world.

• Many organisms disappear.

• Droughts and desertification.

• Increase the probability of a large number of hurricanes and storms.

• The occurrence of flooding, due to the melting of large parts of the ice which leads to sea level rise.
