Effects of Global Warming


As global warming is taking place one day after another, it has serious effects on living or non-living things. The first sign of global warming is the rise of overall temperature in the world. It is observable that some European countries become hotter than before. Another effect is the rise of sea level. This is a sequence of the water expansion because of the increases in temperature. Some low land level countries will be flooded. Finally, animals and plants will suffer from this problem. To clarify, changing climate, deforestation and other causes will affect the living place of the wildlife and will not provide them the good condition to live.


As I mentioned previously, factories are the major cause of global warming as well as it cause acid rain. I believe that acid rain is a short-term effect of factories that we are facing now. It causes acidification of lakes and also contributes in the damage of trees and plants. Moreover, acid rain accelerates the decay of buildings as it takes of the paints and damages the building materials. I addition to that, after acid rain falls on the earth, many harm gases will be released , such as (SO2) and (NOx) that will help in degradation and decline the level of public health.
