oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. -Wikipedia-
For over a decade the world have been discussing about global warming, even though
many of world leaders have enforced an effort to reduce global warming in many ways,
the effect will still be perceived by mother earth.
The Great Barrier Reef will be destroyed in span of 20 years due to the overheating of sea
water. Charlie Veron, former chief of scientist from Australian Institute of Marine
Science, told The Times: "There is no way out, there is no gap. Great Barrier Reef will
finished in span of 20 years or more. Once the carbon dioxide hit in between 2030 and
2060, all coral reefs will extinct."
Still uncertain whether the Hurricane Katrina is related to global warming but there are
indications that global warming will produce a category 5 storm, while category 4 storm
is similar to katrina that hits louisiana. Global warming also makes hurricane more
destructive by raising the sea level which then resulted in a more serious coastal flooding.
Warming climate could support a small species to become greater. Research and analysis
based on body mass of fish, plankton, and bacteria in the ecosystems of Europe, coming
just weeks after scientists reported that the sheep on the Scottish island are shrinking due
to warm conditions. The new study suggests that individual species lost an average of 50
percent of their body mass for 30 years. Reduced body size is a third universal ecological
response to global warming. Sheep in previous studies suggested that the winter is shorter
and lighter, means that sheep do not need to put as much weight as ever to survive their
first year of life, a factor which also can affect fish population. However the researchers
say the shift could alter the food chain, with peak of predator mainly influenced by the
depreciation of prey.
At least 2000 small islands throughout the Indonesian archipelago can disappear by 2030
as a result of excessive mining and other environmentally destructive activities. Indonesia
has lost more than 24 islands so far out of 17,500 islands.
The glacier, which retreated in the warm, dry winter and summer caused by global
warming, and even snow skiing in the 2008-2009 season is substantial, recent years have
seen less snowing at low altitude, and receding glaciers and permafrost melting higher -
with significant impact on winter tourism activities. It is estimated that the glaciers will
be lost between 2030 and 2050. Italy and Switzerland have decided to redraw their
borders dissolved after Alpine glaciers global warming that marks the border between the
two countries.
10. Maldives may Sink
Flattest and lowest countries in the world suffering from coastal erosion, and could find
itself submerged if sea levels continue to rise, with islands growth are smaller and
smaller. This extreme prediction is destroying the prospect for residents and bad news for
tourists who descended on the soft white beaches and warm water every year. The
scientists gave only about a hundred years before it actually disappeared into the
surrounding sea.
