harmful effect of global warming

Answer:
Harmful effects of Global Warming
(a) About 75% of the globe is water. With the melting of the polar ice caps due to Global Warming, half of the remaining land, (25%) would vanish under water. The melting of the polar ice caps will increase the water level of the oceans. Coastal areas and island nations will be submerged under water. Bangladesh and the islands of Maldives will be among the first to disappear under water. (b) Our failure to take care of our forests is threatening the very existence of man and wildlife. Commercial logging for the timber industry had taken a heavy toll on our environment.
(c) Increased Carbon dioxide level results in global warming as well as lungs diseases and cancer. With least oxygen in the air we breath, our health will deteriorate and life expectancy will become lower.
(d) Global Warming, increased pollutants, and deforestation will result in unexpected extreme climatic changes. Rainfall will be unpredictable. So cultivation will become rather a matter of luck. There will be a worldwide shortage of food. Sudden unprecedented floods will be followed by droughts.
(e) With the Ozone Layer being depleted, the harmful Ultraviolet (UV) rays will reach the Earth directly and there will be more cases of skin cancer.
