Earth ....... You are the planet's most useful among other planet-planet First when you are still young You meet people with all the advantages you You're more green, more fresh and you're able to protect us with all the advantages you But now men have been destructive soul, wealth, and also your hearts I forgive earth I can not do anything I can only pray I hope you forgive them, not angry Those who have destroyed you at this time I was not able to see all this But what would be said to have rice porridge Now we can do is turn you like first, although we will still be difficult to try to end God made the earth should not continue to languish law foolery that only mad wealth than saving their lives God listen to my prayer

Global Warming - The Effects on the Tourism Industry

Image
By Napoleon Miles Global warming has an effect on tourism and the economies of many nations. Scientists are forecasting that the Caribbean and its surrounding areas will register a constant increase in temperature. The same can be said about the Mediterranean basin. Global warming has interesting effects on the tourism industry. A characteristic of the northern countries is their low temperatures. With an increase in temperature their climate may be much warmer. This has very important consequences on the tourism industry. Some counties may suffer from droughts in the near future. Many plants may not resist such high temperatures and many countries may become more similar to a desert. On the other hand, by the increase in temperature, countries like Canada and northern Europe will be more habitable than nowadays and so attract tourists and settlers. Avalanches may also increase. Places used for skiing may no longer be appropriate for such an activity. So such places will no longer be ...

Negative Effects of Global Warming

Image
By Bryan Wong There are many predicted effects for the environment and for human life due to global warming. The main effect centres around an increase in the global average temperature. It's been confirmed by at least 20 scientific societies and academies of science, as well as all the national academies of science of the G8 states, that the Earth's global average air temperature near its surface rose by 0.56-0.92 C (0.98-1.62 F) degrees during the last 100 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that this increase is very likely due to the "observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, which leads to the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect." For humans, these changes in climate are particularly dangerous to those who live near the ocean shore and who already suffer from drought, flooding, and poverty. The IPCC concludes from models that global temperatures will likely rise ...

The Effects Global Warming May Have On Our Planet

By Kadence Buchanan While many realize that global warming is occurring on our planet, few understand the implications that this may have on our way of life. These rising global temperatures are going to cause a host of changes on our planet, and we need to act now or prepare to adjust to some very profound changes. First, these rising temperatures present a huge threat to our ice-caps. Layers of ice that have not melted for thousands of years are beginning to break apart and fall into the ocean. One of the biggest ice sheets on the planet, located on Greenland, is at a great risk of splitting apart and falling into the ocean. While it doesn't sound like too big of a deal, the loss of the Greenland ice sheet will cause catastrophic circumstances world wide. The world's sea level is expected to rise as much as 23 feet when the sheet falls, and that spells disaster for the coastal cities that represent some of the largest and most important centers of trade and commerce across ...
