Climate change effect
The climate change effect may not seem so important to you at first thought, but the earth has a cycle of life and each living thing on this earth will be greatly affected by the increasing warming. Let’s just take a closer look at what could and may happen if the earth continues to heat up, even 1 degree Fahrenheit, can throw everything off in the ecosystems, weather and life as we have known it for many years. Some of these climate change effects are the most commonly thought of, but they are the least of our problems. Firstly the glacier ice bergs will begin to melt and when this happens the sea level will begin rising. If you live on the coast or an island you will be greatly effected by this. I am on the east coast of Florida, and I have family on Long Island NY. These two area’s will be gone without a doubt in my mind. There is no way to prevent it. But that’s not the worst of the problems everything around us will change. The climate change effect will change the ecosystem. Animals will begin dying or moving to cooler habitats, you will find that more and more animals become endangered species or extinct. Plants will be unable to survive and the list goes on and on. This isn’t something that they are guessing; this is what will happen if the climate continues to heat up. It’s already 1 degree higher than it was 100 years ago. That may not sound like much but it has dramatic effects on everything in nature. Can you imagine what life would be like if this was to happen? Food would become more difficult to find and difficult to grow in many area’s of the world. There would be people forced into the cooler climates where life would be a little more like normal, but you would be fighting just to squeeze your entire family into this area. Things would be messy. There are so many people all over that just don’t worry about the climate change effect, and will not worry about it until it’s too late and nothing can be done about it. Many of the climate change effects have already begun to affect us; hurricanes are coming more often and with much more strength. These intense hurricanes have greatly damaged many areas of our country. Certain areas have experienced more frequent heat waves. And let’s not forget that more and more people are developing allergies than ever before. Are you ready for what is in store for all of us?
