Global Warming Web Quest Abigail Akpobiyeri Mrs. A. White Science Core 1-2

What are the consequences of global warming if nothing is done about it now? Global warming can affect the world around us. Sometimes it can have its pros and cons. It can cause health problems and ecological problems. The sea levels may also rise due to ice burgs melting. There can be complications in crops and food supply.

Health Problems Global warming can cause heat related health problems. People can suffer from heat stress or heat stroke. When industries let out harmful gases into the atmosphere, it causes a slight increase in temperature.

Ecological Disturbances Global warming can affect the habitats of many different animals. It can affect the plant life that the Earth supports. Rapid global warming can upset the natural balance of a certain climate.

Rising Sea Levels Warmer weather can make glaciers melt. Some melting glaciers add more water to the ocean. When too many glaciers melt, it can cause an increased amount of flooding. Warmer temperatures can also cause water to expand.

Complications in Crops and Food Supply Global warming can cause drought in some areas. It can also cause plants to grow in new areas. In some parts of the world, people may not have enough to eat because they cannot grow the food that they need.  

What Are We Going To Do?? If Global warming continues to happen, the world as we know it will soon end!! Just kidding. But it will not be in a healthy state. Global warming generally makes life harder for people. But if we stop it, we can grow up without dealing with it.
