Global warming means the temperature of our earth is uprising continually from the middle of twentieth century. The key responsibility of such a rise in earth’s temperature goes towards green house gases, the result of human industrial activities. Global warming has become one of the major issues of modern world and its affects, either positive or negative, can be seen everywhere. Here are top ten stunning facts about global warming.
1. Release of Carbon dioxide
The release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, because of global warming, has become very much within the last two decades. This average value of CO2 release is 1.4 billion pounds per day.
2. Glacier Melting
With day-by day increasing temperature of earth every year, glaciers are disappearing rapidly. The true example of this fact is Glacier national Park Montona, where 82 % glaciers have been melted since 1910.
3. Continuously Uprising Temperature
From the very start of global warming, the temperature of our planet has been raised up to 0.8 degree Celsius. However, the most responsible years for this fact are the recent two decades, which are the hottest ones ever before.
4. Sea Ice Loss
The wild life and culture of arctic region has been affected badly due to global warming. With continuously melting of sea ice in the arctic region, it is estimated that the summer of 2040 will be completely ice free in this region.
5. Great Danger to lives of Coral Reefs
Corel reefs are almost most affected living creatures of global warming. The reason behind is that only 2% rise in temperature can shorten the life of Coral reefs.
6. Extreme Weather Events
Some extreme events like strong tropical storms, heat waves and wildfires are the result of global warming as well.
7. Rise in Sea Level
Scientists are predicting that up to the year 2100, there will be one yard rise in the sea level due to extreme affects of rise in earth’s temperature.
8. Deadly Tropical Diseases
It has been observed within the last two decades that deadly tropical diseases like malaria and dengue fever have been spread out in all over the world due to global warming.
9. Affect on Agriculture
Food crop failure is occurred in the tropical regions, especially where constant rise in temperature has been observed.
10. Humans are Responsible for Global Warming
The production of sixteen million new cars every year and the consumption of fossil fuel are the highly responsible factors for global warming, which are the only the human faults.
