GLOBAL WARMING YO


Global Warming is happening all around the world.Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice free summer by 2040 or earlier. Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910.An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wild fires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts. The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.The population of polorbears and expected to decrease because of such amounts of water and no land left. The sea level is also expected to rise and that could cause major floods on the all the costs. Poorer countries are much less able to withstand the devastation caused by extreme weather events, and climate change is likely to increase such events. For example, global warming could increase the number of people impacted by flooding by 20-50 million. Up to 37% of God's land-based species could be committed to extinction by 2050, making global warming the largest single threat to biodiversity.
The earth is getting warmer because of the Greenhouse effect. The Greenhouse effect is the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass throught but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.
However, there are ways to stop global warming like, Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl).Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner. Also you can Take a shower instead of a bath.
