How Global Warming can Affect the Earth
Global warming can lead to heavy rain fail and prolong drought. I know many people may wonder how these two opposites can be caused by the same global warming. It is very simple. When the earth’s surface temperature increases more rapidly, more water vapor will evaporate into the atmosphere. This will continue until the weight becomes too heavy for the cloud to bear. At this point, the cloud will simply let go some amount of these water molecules. This will definitely give rise to heavy rain fail that will destroy a lot of things. Farm lands will be washed away. Houses will be devastated by flood and animals will lose their lives. Man is not even safe. If you are not in a safe place you will be carried away by flood. Many properties will be destroyed. This has started happening in some places. So, it is no longer what the scientists are postulating. It is a reality that manifests itself everyday for everybody to see.
How can global warming give rise to drought? Drought will affect those in the tropic region due to high temperature. The rivers and lakes will dry up. This will spell doom for both man and wild animals. Many people will die as a result of lack of food. There will be no agricultural produce because trees and plants will be scorched to death by the heat of the sun. Besides, there will be no river for irrigation which will help to supply water to the plants in the farm lands.
Wild animals will die of dehydration. Once the source of their drinking water has been dried due to prolong drought, they will die of dehydration. Besides, herbivorous animals will die due to lack of plants and trees to feed on.
Global warming does not affect weather alone. The sea and oceans together with the lives that it supports will be affected also. Global warming will give rise to the increase in the sea level. The more the icebergs are melting away the more the sea levels are increasing. When this happens, the coastline regions will suffer greatly. Coastal floods will obliterate some island nations. The coast will be eroded. The effect of global warming on the ocean level seems to be worst because a reasonable percentage of population of the world is living in coast areas.
The marine lives will also suffer greatly. Definitely, those in coastline region will build high solid walls in order to prevent the rising sea level from devastating their lands. This will also affect the marine lives that are looking for escape to cooler region of the sea. Some marine lives that prey on wild animals that come to the sea side o drink will totally be blocked away from their prey.
The ecosystem, carbon cycle and man himself will also be affected by the global warming. We are already seeing the effect of global warming today.
