Global Warming and Its effect

Current world beset by global warming issue that in no more than a century will show the consequences and potentially devastating memporak-human civilization. Disasters triggered because the instability of the climate began to take its toll much that is not small. Although only a studies or predictions, it helps us be aware of this warning.

1. Great Barrier Reef Gone in 20 Years


Rising sea water due to global warming in 20 years will drown this magical coral clusters. Charlie, a former chief researcher at the Australian Institute of Marine Science said in The Times: "There is no hope, the Great Barrier would be gone 20 years or more. Once the carbon dioxide (CO2) touches such as the predicted levels between 2030 and 2060, the entire reef will disappear. This is supported researchers reefs and also all other relevant organizations. This is critical and this is reality.
2. Amazon forest will turn into desert

Having millions of species and reserve 1 / 5 the world clean water, the Amazon forest is the largest tropical rain forest in the world. But global warming and reverse the deforestation of forest function as carbon sinks and forests transform into 30-60 percent of dry pasture. Projections indicate this forest could vanish by the year 2050.

3. Sahara Desert will be green

Scientists see signs that the Sahara desert and the surrounding green areas due to increased rainfall. The rain was able to revitalize the area so attractive gersangnya farming community. The trend is the shrinking desert explained by climate models, which predict a return to conditions that alter the Sahara into fertile pasture as about 12 thousand years ago.

4. Hurricane winds will blow More Powerful

Can not be explained if global warming is responsible for the occurrence of Hurricane Katrina. But there are indications that global warming will make storms Berkategori 5 - Hurricane Katrina alone Berkategori 4 when hit Louisiana. Storm strength starts from the warm water and forecast models show future hurricanes will become more powerful as the rising sea temperatures. Global warming is making storms more destructive to the rising sea levels that trigger a larger floods in coastal areas.




5. Drowned In London 2100

Not only rocks and islands that are threatened ramps global warming. In fact a major threat area is also haunted cities in coastal areas at risk of sinking under water due to rising sea levels. Dozens of world cities including London and New York could have gone deep towards the end of this century, according to research that says global warming will cause sea levels rising faster than previously predicted. London, including major cities at high risk as described in a 2007 film entitled "The Flood". According to experts of this city would sink not until 100 years.

6. The animals are shrinking

New study says that that species of animals had an average shrinkage of 50 percent of his body mass dalm last 30 years. Early studies on sheep suspected that the winter is shorter and lighter to make the sheep do not add weight to survive the first year of life. Such factors may also affect fish populations. The researchers say climate change could disrupt food chains, where the predators at the top of the food chain of the most affected because of the shrinking of the prey.

7. Losing Thousands Islands

Indonesia island As a result of global warming, at least 2000 small islands in the Indonesian archipelago may be lost before this yahun 2030 danhal worsened as a consequence of illegal mining and other activities that damage the environment. Indonesia today has lost at least 24 of the 17,500 islands in the region.



8. Global Warming May Trigger Terrorism

Global warming may create conditions of instability in poor countries, leading to the migration and development into a fertile ground of terrorism. Condition unstable state due to the harsh climate and uncertain cause many people to leave the country and because of the pressure some of them could perform acts of terrorism. Not to mention the problem of rejection of the visited countries of these immigrants.

9. Melting Alps

In recent years the intensity reduction is seen snow in low areas, the shrinking volume of glaciers (rivers of ice), and also increased melting ice area. This has a direct impact on tourism activities in the winter. Glacier-glacier predicted it would disappear between 2030 and 2050. Italy and Switzerland have decided to re-draw the boundaries of their territories due to reduction in glacier-Alpine glaciers and sweeping marks territory borders the two countries.

10. The sinking of the Maldives Islands


Low islands and flats are surrounded by seas predicted to be drowned by the sea that surrounds it. This is bad news for the residents and also for the world of tourism that relies on the beaches of white sand with warm water. The researchers gave no more than a hundred years before the islands bebar completely vanished into the ocean.


Horrible indeed, although almost all of us may not be experienced, but it is our grandchildren who will deal with it. Maybe some people think global warming issue is just nonsense, but maybe some of us have felt the temperature rise in each region compared to about 10 years ago. The author himself about 10-15 years ago had lived in one of the city at that time the weather is always cool, even though by mid-morning. And in recent years the city was in the hot afternoon heat did not lose to the city of Jakarta. Indeed nothing has proved as a result of global warming, but one thing is clear, it's time to rethink human nature to respect and friendly nature in all its activities including the development strategies, both infrastructure and industry.
