Effects of Global Warming
You probably learned a little bit about global warming from Al Gore’s popular documentary An Inconvenient Truth. And even though some of the evidence presented in his power point presentation has since been discredited, it doesn’t really undermine the fact that we are, in fact, deeply enmeshed in a global warming situation.
It’s not that our planet’s atmosphere is becoming super-heated (as some infer from the term “global warming”). The truth is that the greenhouse gases we spew en masse into the atmosphere have begun to affect our weather patterns, making them more extreme.
So yes, there are going to be times when the temperature climbs higher. Summers may be hotter and last longer. But winter temperatures could also be lower than normal, and rain, snow, and other types of storms (hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, etc.), could be longer-lasting, more intense, and occur more frequently; that’s the real result of global warming.

In terrestrial habitats, tropical areas are rich in species whereas polar areas support lesser species. The conservation of biodiversity is inevitable for the survival of men.
