How has
Global Warming Affected the Environment?
All living things are in danger because of the
global climate change that has happened. NASA
reported that the Earth’s temperature has risen
2 degrees, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but
changes in temperature correlate with vast
changes in the environment. For example,
today there is a loss of sea ice, accelerated sea
level rise and more intense heat waves. As you
can see, all living organisms are in trouble, but
who or what is causing it? According to the
National Climate Assessment, humans are the
number one reason why global warming is
happening, especially because we burn fossil
fuels that produce carbon pollution. NASA
predicts that things will be worse in the future
like; Temperatures rising, changes in weather
will be very bipolar, more droughts, deadlier
hurricanes, tornadoes, and more.
