What are 3 possible effects of an increase in the global temperature?
Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves.
What would happen if global warming stopped?
The energy that is held at the Earth by the increased carbon dioxide does more than heat the air. It melts ice; it heats the ocean. So even if carbon emissions stopped completely right now, as the oceans catch up with the atmosphere, the Earth’s temperature would rise about another 1.1F (0.6C).
Which of these countries increased its carbon emissions since the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol?
Riding your bike produces zero emissions. Which of these countries increased its carbon emissions since the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol? Canada: Canada left the Kyoto Protocol early.
How does global warming affect climate change?
As the earth’s atmosphere heats up, it collects, retains, and drops more water, changing weather patterns and making wet areas wetter and dry areas drier. Higher temperatures worsen and increase the frequency of many types of disasters, including storms, floods, heat waves, and droughts.
Which of the following effects of global warming is the major cause in the increase of sea level?
The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by warming of the ocean (since water expands as it warms) and increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets.
Which of the following effect is responsible for global warming?
greenhouse effect
Carbon-dioxide is responsible for ‘Global-Warming’. A layer of CO2 in the atmosphere traps the infrared radiation coming from earth’s surface. These trapped radiations heat the earth’s atmosphere and result in greenhouse effect and global warming.
