Main effects of global warming are:
Melting of snow and the rise in the Sea level: Global warming has raised the temperature of the Earth. These has resulted in the melting of glaciers and consequently the rise in the sea level. Rise in sea level results in:
Coastal erosion
Coastal flooding
Threat to coastal structures
Increase in salinity of the estuaries and aquifers.
Change in the Pattern of Precipitation: Warming of atmosphere increases the rate of evaporation and the moisture carrying capacity of the winds. It has been predicted by the scientists that the warming of the troposphere and the cooling down of the stratosphere will influence the pattern of precipitation over vast regions in coming years. This could result in the increased level of rainfall at higher latitudes during the summers and the winters. During winters however, the rainfall may decrease at areas of lower latitudes.
Imbalance in Radiation: Life is possible on the Earth due to the balance maintained between the incoming and outgoing radiation of the sun. Any change in this balance will impact many life forms. It is also feared that global warming may gradually lead to the death of trees replacing them by scrub vegetation, which generally grow in the regions experiencing high temperature and scanty rainfall.
Agriculture: It is estimated that global warming may influence the pattern of cultivation. While some crops may witness increased production, other crops may see a decline in their productivity.
Diseases: Phenomenal change in the temperature and level of rainfall may cause the outbreak of many diseases like malaria.
It is hence important to plant trees and use cleaner sources of energy to protect our atmosphere.
