Global Warming

By way of representative examples that can be used to detect damage caused by global warming, abnormal weather phenomenon rising sea levels and so on.

Result of satellite observation, the eye of the ground surface, and since the 1960s, decreased by about 10%, and decreased 10-15% glacier of spring and summer as compared to the 1950s in the Northern Hemisphere temperature rise is intense. In addition, sea level has risen by about 17cm glaciers melt, by the year 2003 in particular, the rising speed of sea level over the past 10 years is about two times, it is a situation that is accelerating. Majority of the country has been flooded, there is only country Tuvalu sea level standard 4m is a place with high extreme of the country in the sea-level rise, has disappeared on the map one island two of Kiribati.

In addition, climate change due to global warming and increased precipitation in the world, but to change the precipitation pattern on the other hand, has created a big difference in the region. Thus, on one side of the earth, you are experiencing water damage, one will suffer from severe drought. I will in the Central Asia South America and eastern North America from 1900 to 2005, Northern Europe, North Asia, precipitation has increased, but has decreased rather Sahel Savannah, Mediterranean, South Africa, in South Asia .

And, warming is to promote desertification.

To accelerate the evaporation of sea water, the atmosphere was warm or rain, but then I am or evaporated easily moisture contained in the soil. When it comes to soil being dried, food production also decreased, fire is also to come out well, typically, in addition to drought, Australia has received much damage in the wildfires that occur frequently. According to the IPCC report, a decrease in soil moisture and temperature rise of up to mid-century, is one of the Amazon rainforest eastern region turns to grassland gradually and semi-arid vegetation, and has changed to dry vegetation.
