Global warming, caused by human technology and expansion, is destroying the planet. The effects of global warming are devastating to both human and animal populations around the world. An insecure food supply, increased frequency and intensity of storms and rapidly rising sea levels are just a few of the effects we have seen over the years caused by global warming.
Global warming does not occur evenly across the world. Temperature changes have been, and will be, much more extreme in the Arctic and Antarctic. A 5 degree Fahrenheit warming for the whole world means only 1 degree at the equator, but 12 degrees at the poles. Global temperatures have already risen over 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Seen and recorded around the world, global warming is causing glaciers to shrink, arctic ice recession, rising sea levels, flooding ( especially of coastal estuaries which kills wildlife ), increased inland and tropical storms, drought that has doubled since 1970, increased tornados, increased hurricanes, larger and more frequent fires, increased volcanic eruptions and the increase of earthquakes do to glacier movement. All of this is a big impact on the ecosystems, human economy ( do to an unstable agriculture ) and the wildlife. The disruption of breeding and migration patterns for some species, along with the expansion of harmful insects past their normal range, has also been an effect of global warming.
