Smokes Up Pal! Global Warming’s Five Deadliest Effects

Global Warming, one of the most horrific predicaments out beloved Earth has faced. Greenhouse gases will stay inside the atmosphere from decades to centuries to millenniums. Here are the deadliest effects of global warming.

5. Spread of Disease

As the temperature rises, the population of millenniums also increase. As northern countries turn warmer, insects start to migrate north into countries such as United States, Canada, and Europe, bringing infections, diseases, viruses, and plagues. In some countries in Africa, malaria hasn’t been eradicated so the disease would create an epidemic for the northern hemisphere.

4. Changes in the Ocean’s Temperature and Increase of Hurricane

Global Warming is increasing the temperature of the water. Logically, if the air is warmer, the ocean will also be warmer. You probably think that an increase of 0.10 degrees Celsius isn’t a big threat, but many of the ocean’s wonders such as coral reefs will die.

Chow on this as you can, it will be gone within 20 years because of global warming. Along with the loss of this radiant coral reef, species will also die because they depend on the coral reef for food and habitat.

Hurricanes will devastate the earth, killing millions of people. Hurricanes thrive in warm oceans and global warming creates the perfect environment for them to strike.

3. Increased Risk and Intensity of Drought

While some places on Earth will become wetter due to global warming, most places will suffer from menacing droughts. Africa will face the worst droughts of its time along with Europe. Water is already scarce in Africa, just imagine it after 10 years. An estimate of 20 percent of Africa’s population will be diminished because of lack of water, according to the IPCC (International Panel on Climate and Change). Global warming can also exacerbate the conditions and wage war between Africa and other Countries.

Droughts can also have a cataclysmic effect on species

2. Economic Consequences

As Hurricanes rampage the earth and Malaria kills the innocent, the economy is in for the worst. Billions of dollars will be spent on reestablishing cities that have been annihilated by hurricanes. This only spells one thing:Economic Consequences.

1.Polar Ice Caps Melting

This doesn’t deserve the deadliest effect of global warming for no reason, it has 4 semi-effects with it.

      1). Raising of Sea Levels

           There are over 5.7 million cubic miles of water trapped in ice. Global warming poses a threat for melting All of it. With that, the seas would rise 230 feet, putting many cities in the realm of Atlantis.

Florida, one of the states of United States, will have majority of its land under water due to ice caps melting.

      2). Melting Ice Caps will Damage Global Ecosystem

Ice Caps are 100 percent fresh water, and when they meet, it will cause dilution of the salt in the water. Many organisms that live in the ocean will die because they are not adapted to the major change in the water. That will damage the food chain and other predatory animals will die causing a destruction in the Global Ecosystem.

      3) Temperature Rises and Changing Landscapes

Animals such as Polar Bears will need ice to live, but when the ice is melted, so will the life of the polar bear.
