  1. Global Warming: Why are We Not Taking it Seriously? Certain human activities have been causing environmental changes over the past few decades and these are not good. The pertinent question has always been; why are people not doing enough to reduce the impact on the environment? The UN report on the environment says by 2030 global temperatures would have risen 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees centigrade) about the average of the pre-industrial era temperatures. www.desertcart.com.om

  2. Global Warming: Why are We Not Taking it Seriously? Several volumes of research have been published over the past decades; that was trying to explain how and why we could always miscalculate the risk to the environment. But many seem to ignore the problem and are not too worried about the distant future. www.desertcart.com.om

  3. Global Warming: Why are We Not Taking it Seriously? People still believe that a small change in temperature would not create drastic effects. Many think using air conditioners, coolers and air purifiers can keep them comfortable. But the truth is that it would have grave consequences and the impact is already becoming quite apparent for the entire ecosystem and human civilization. www.desertcart.com.om

  4. What are the Major Causes of Global Warming? Human influences have been the number one cause of global warming. One of the major reasons is carbon pollution which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels and the pollution created by destroying forests. www.desertcart.com.om

  5. What are the Major Causes of Global Warming? Different gasses like carbon dioxide, methane, soot, and other pollutants are released into the atmosphere and act as a blanket that traps the heat of the sun and is causing the planet to warm up. www.desertcart.com.om

  6. What are the Major Causes of Global Warming? Scientific studies have shown that every decade since 1960, has been hotter than the previous one. This continuous rise in temperatures has been altering the earth's climate system, which also includes the atmosphere, oceans, land, and polar ice, in multiple ways. Even simple room thermometers can show the right temperatures and over the years, you will realize how every place is getting warmer each year. www.desertcart.com.om

  7. Some Major Effects of Global Warming The effects of global warming are already being felt around the globe over the past few years. Some of the effects are mentioned below in detail: Worsening Weather Conditions Extinction of Wildlife Increasing Death Rates www.desertcart.com.om

  8. Effects of Global Warming: Worsening Weather Conditions The high temperatures are amplifying the different types of disasters that include heat waves, storms, floods, and droughts. The warmer weather conditions collect more water vapor, retain it, and unleash more water; hence, changing weather patterns make the wet areas become wetter while the dry areas become drier. There are extreme conditions of flash flooding that are happening at alarming rates across the globe. www.desertcart.com.om

  9. Effects of Global Warming: Worsening Weather Conditions There are also several cases of landslides, wildfires, dust storms, extreme heat events, and drought-like conditions that the world is currently experiencing. In some places, heavy rains are causing overflowing of the rivers and lakes which is damaging life and property causing serious diseases and also leading to crop failure. This also contaminates the clean drinking water sources. www.desertcart.com.om

  10. Effects of Global Warming: Extinction of Wildlife As the environment undergoes rapid changes the animals also which inhabit the same earth are facing serious problems. Some species are doomed to disappear and go extinct since they are unable to adapt quickly and survive these drastic changes. www.desertcart.com.om

  11. Effects of Global Warming: Extinction of Wildlife Lack of food and vegetation due to forest fires are affecting the poor and helpless animals and they have nowhere to go. This has increased the dwindling of the animals and they adopt mass migration in search of food. That also creates other issues and leads to mass extinctions. www.desertcart.com.om

  12. Effects of Global Warming: Increasing Death Rates Several eminent scientists have claimed that global warming is one of the biggest health threats of the 21st century. It can impact people around the world and especially affect children, elderly and low-income communities, and minorities in several direct and indirect ways. As the temperature increases the incidence of new diseases like Covid19 and deaths have risen. www.desertcart.com.om

  13. Effects of Global Warming: Increasing Death Rates The number of heat-related deaths is also increasing rapidly due to sudden spikes in temperature even in places where people are not used to it earlier. www.desertcart.com.om

  14. Effects of Global Warming: Increasing Death Rates Health issues like heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and cardiovascular and kidney diseases are killing more people than before, in several countries around the world. Worsening air pollution has increased pulmonary diseases in many people leading to an increase in deaths. www.desertcart.com.om
