What Impacts of Global Warming - Global Warming Effects - Global Warming Facts
Fact # 1: Thawing ice on the north and south poles
Global warming has a direct impact on the continued melting of ice in the polar regions north and south poles. Ice melting in Greenland has almost reached 19 million tons! And the volume of Arctic ice in the summer of 2007 only half of the existing four years earlier! The melting of ice is progressing much faster than models predicted ever created by scientists. Some early predictions have been made previously that all the ice at the poles will be gone by the year 2040 until 2100. But the annual ice data recorded until 2007 to make them think twice about the model predictions have been made previously.
The scientists admit that there are key factors they had not taken within the existing prediction models. By using the latest ice data, as well as a more accurate prediction models, Dr. H. J. Zwally, a NASA climate expert to make new predictions that are astonishing: ALMOST ALL Arctic ice cap will disappear BETWEEN THE YEARS 2008 - 2012!
According to researchers, chunks of ice form a very large plate of permanent floating it around 1609 kilometers south of South America, southwest Antarctic Peninsula. In fact, chunks of ice that is believed to be there since 1500 years ago. "This is a result of global warming," said lead researcher Ted Scambos NSIDC. According to him, slabs of ice known as the Wilkins Ice Shelf collapse is very rare. Now, after the split, the remaining chunks of ice which lived 12 950 square kilometers, plus 5.6 miles of ice pieces and connecting two adjacent islands. "Soon, the last chunk of ice will also disappear. And half of the total area of ice will disappear within the next few years, "said Scambos.
"Several events in recent years triggered a change in the system," said Sarah Das, a researcher from the Institute of Marine Wood's Hole. Changes in Antarctica are complex and more isolated from all parts of the world.
Antarctica at the South Pole is a continent with a land area of mountains and lakes surrounded by ice-covered ocean. This continent is much colder than the Arctic, so the ice melts there is very rarely, even coating that never melts in history. Average temperature of minus 49 degrees Celsius, but never reached almost minus 90 degrees Centigrade in July 1983. No wonder if the phenomenon of the melting of ice on the continent that contains almost 90 percent of ice in the whole world was paying serious attention as a researcher.
Fact # 2: Rise of sea level
The melting of polar ice in the north and south poles have a direct impact on sea level rise (chart alongside shows the results of measurements of sea surface level during the last few years). The experts estimated that if all of Greenland melts. Sea level will rise up to 7 meters! Enough to sink the entire beach, harbor, and the lowlands around the world.
Fact # 3: Climate Change / Extreme weather
NASA states that the global warming impact on the more extreme changes in weather and
If the phenomenon in the country is still not enough for you, you can also look at international news about natural disasters. Typhoon in Japan and the United States continues to record wind speed, scale, and the power of hurricanes from year to year, rainfall and snowstorms in China also continues to new record from year to year. You can look at this information through mass media and the internet. There is no one else in this world continents were spared this extreme climate changes.
Fact # four: Heat Waves become more Malignant
In the year 2003, the South European region also had a great heat wave of attacks that resulted in no less than 35,000 people have died with the victims of most of France (14 802 inhabitants). France is a country with the highest casualties since not ready for residents and local governments that big heat wave phenomenon. Other casualties scattered from England, Italy, Portugal, Spain and other European countries. This heat wave also caused severe drought and crop failure was prevalent in the European region.
Maybe we do not experience heat waves are terrifying, such as that experienced by Europe and the United States, but through observation and from what you feel everyday. You can also feel how hot the temperature around you. Try to note how often do you hear yourself saying or perhaps words such as: "It's hot today huh!" If you happen to work in air-conditioned room from morning till noon, so you do not have time to feel the heat lately, you can ask their friends or people around you who happen to work outside the space. The people who work daily with the vehicle open in broad daylight (such as sales on a motorcycle) may be able to tell more clearly how hot scorching sun rays on their backs.
Fact # 5: Glacier-ending of World Water Resources
NASA notes that from 1960 to 2005 alone, the number of glaciers in various parts of the world lost not less than 8000 cubic meters! NASA scientists have now realized that the fuse of the glacier, liquid ice at both poles of the earth, earth's global temperature increases, until the rising sea level is the evidence that was kept heating up the planet. And it is certain that the race of men that are responsible for this.
