True Facts about Global Warming
On
this page are some true
facts about global warming.
Fact #1: Despite all the scepticism, global warming is real.
Fact #2: We have increased the levels of greenhouse gases, which were stable for at least 650,000 years, by 1/3 in the past 200 years.
Fact #3: These gases are directly responsible for the greenhouse effect, which causes global warming.
Fact #4: While there are natural climate changes that have always affected the Earth, these are long-term changes.
Fact #5: The recent global warming is not one of these - it is way too quick and dramatic to be a natural change.
Fact #6: The average temperature of the Earth is not only increasing but also accelerating, and so are the carbon emissions.
Fact #7: Both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice have been melting at a much quicker rate than what was expected. Consequently the sea levels have also rosen quicker than what was expected.
Fact #8: At the current pace of carbon dioxide emissions, we may have an ice-free world by 2050-2100. This means a massive increase of sea level with coastal cities drowned and millions of homeless people who will become environmental refugees.
Fact #9: We have to change our infrastructure and lifestyle to move towards a low-carbon environment.
Fact #10: If we don't do so, we risk some serious effects if not during our own, definitely our kids' lifetime.
