Introduction:
In the past few years, temperatures around the world have increased significantly as a result of the phenomenon labelled as global warming. According to reports, the first decade of this century was the hottest ever recorded (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2016). This is happening as a result of gas emissions, as the gas that has been released into the atmosphere is storing the heat energy from the sun and therefore warming the earth itself (Wwf.org.au, 2016). The rise in temperature as a result of global warming is greatly impacting the world and its inhabitants. Sea levels around the world are rising because of thermal expansion and the melting of the Polar Ice Caps (Climatehotmap.org, 2016). Studies have concluded that ocean …show more content…
This will be the result of an increase in temperature, extreme weather events and the melting of the Polar Ice Caps, all of which are caused by global warming (Climatehotmap.org, 2016). The escalated temperatures caused by global warming are melting the Polar Ice Caps and speeding up the process of thermal expansion, both of which are causing a rise in sea levels. This global rise in temperature is causing the destruction of natural resources, destructive weather events, droughts and floods (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2016). From this, it can be deduced that global warming will destroy coastal communities such as The Pacific Islands if nothing is …show more content…
This phenomenon was created as a result of the gases that are released from the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, farming, waste breakdown and industrial work (Wwf.org.au, 2016). Global warming is the result of this excessive release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases are located in the atmosphere and form a barrier that traps the infrared radiation that comes from the sun (Wwf.org.au, 2016). This build-up of heat is the reason why the earth’s temperature is increasing. From this, it can be deduced that as long as gas emissions continue to increase, so will the global
