Effects of Global Warming

As we all know that the causes of global warming will affect people and the earth. The main effect of global warming is increasing in the global average temperature, and there are many other effects of Global Warming such as rising sea levels, increased extreme weather events and spread of diseases. I divided the effects into categories and I’ll mention some of them and then I’ll pick one of the effects from one of the categories to talk about:

1. Effects on weather

-More extreme weather
-Increased evaporation
-Cost of more extreme weather
-Destabilization of local climates

2. Oceans

-Sea level rise
-Temperature rise
-Acidification
-Shutdown of thermohaline circulation
-Ecosystems
-Ecological productivity
-Glacier Retreat

3. Economic

-Effects on agriculture
-Insurance
-Transport
-Flood defense
-Migration
-Northwest Passage
-Development
-Environmental
-Water scarcity
-Mountains

4. Health

-Direct effects of temperature rise
-Spread of disease
-Impacts of glacier retreat

Now, I’m going to talk about one of the Effects on Oceans “Sea level rise”.

From 3000 years ago to the start of the 19th century, sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr, since 1900, the level has risen at 1–2 mm/yr, since 1992, satellite altimetry indicates a rate of about 3 mm/yr. In December 2006 some reports shows that the first island claimed by rising sea levels caused by global warming was Lohachara Island in the Sundarbans in Bay of Bengal, and we knew that the main reason of rising sea level is the increase of temperature which caused by the global warming.
