Effects Global Warming on Humans and Animals

Global warming is the increase in the temperature of earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its probable continuation. The scientific study is that global warming is occurring and is mostly the result of human activity. The effects could be greater than you could imagine. Global warming does not occur evenly on earth. Human beings are exposed to climate change through changing weather patterns ,temperature, precipitation, sea-level rise and more frequent extreme events and indirectly through changes in water, air and food quality and changes in ecosystems, agriculture, industry and settlements and the economy. According to a literature assessment, the effects of climate change to date have been small, but are projected to progressively increase in all countries and region Such a change would submerge many of the world's largest cities and much of the world's most productive farmland. The consequences could be devastating. In addition, much more dramatic sea level rises in the future are possible. If global warming catalyzes further warming and melts all of the ice in the arctic regions and at high altitudes, sea levels will rise by 230-260 feet. Earth could be drastically altered. The Earth might even come to be similar to the steamy planet that was ruled by the dinosaurs. The harm to human populations and civilization would be incalculable.

The danger to animals is severe as well. As sea levels rise and lowland coastal areas are flooded, many animal species will be harmed. Coastal areas serve as natural hatcheries for fish and are home to a greater diversity of land and sea creatures than any other ecosystem. The flooding of coastal estuaries by rising sea levels would have big effect on all animals across the world.

Numerous species will be wiped out if global warming continues unchecked. It could play a major role in the extinction of many species that are crucial to stabilizing the food chain that you and I (and countless other animals) depend on for our food. It will surely mean an end to the polar bear, which depends on sea ice for hunting.
