Global warming causes and effects

GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS Enhanced greenhouse effect keeps more heat on Earth This creates rising land and ocean surface temperatures or global warming Global warming causes Stronger hurricanes and cyclones Rising sea levels (shore retreat) Desertification Decreases in snow cover and sea ice Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions can have a real impact and fight the effects of global warming Less greenhouse gases leads to a cooler and safer Earth Each day new greenhouse gas emissions further accelerate these physical changes
