Effects of Global Warming

Global warming has an effect on the environment and living things in many ways. However, their are two main effects; they are the increase in global average temperature and rising in sea levels.

When the Earth becomes warmer, oceans are warmer too, so the evaporation will increase. The environment will also change as the temperature increase; species will leave their surroundings, mostly animals that need cold weather, or they may extinct if they didn’t stand the change.

The increasing of temperature may lead to forest fires more often, which causes more carbon to be released to the atmosphere.

Humans’ health is affected because of the rise in temperature, especially the respiratory system. It is expected that global warming will lead to spreading of many diseases like malaria.
However, I chose to write about the rising in sea level as an effect of global warming in my next post.
