Global Warming The World - 1228 Words

Global Warming- Our Disappearing World Global warming presents a huge problem in the world today, but not every scientist believes this. They think that the weather is just supposed to change naturally. If you look around there is evidence to support this theory. The sea level is rising, the global temperature has become warmer, the oceans are not as cold, and the Arctic ice has begun to disappear. Greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer also contributes to Global warming. There are many predictions about Global warming, the Greenhouse effect, sea level rising. Scientist have various predictions on how life on Earth will change by the year 2100. Background In the 1700’s the Industrial Revolution which began in†¦show more content†¦Changes in the Earth’s climate are now visible and scientists are trying to predict what the future holds, and what can be done about it. Predictions In the journal article written by H.L Miller, the talks about how there will be a greater amount of Greenhouse gas condensed and released into the atmosphere. Some scientist believe that the temperature around the world will rise 2 °F up to 11.5 °F by the year 2100. This will mean that global temperature will have doubled over the last hundred years. The higher volume of Greenhouse gas being released into the air will increase the global rise in temperature (Ping). Studies show that the southern United States will have an estimated 60 days when the temperature reaches above 90 °F, and by the end of this century the south will experience temperatures of 90  °F and above for 150 days (Karl). Future prediction on the weather will change and it depends on the region as well as the season. S.D Solomon is a co writer for IPCC Fourth Assessment Report and he predicts that some regions may have less precipitation, some may have more precipitation, and some may have little or no ch ange. â€Å"The amount of rain falling in heavy precipitation events is likely to increase in most regions, while storm tracks are projected to shift poleward†(Solomon).
