Global Warming

Global warming is an issue that plagues the general public's mind's daily. By definition global warming is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earths climate. This statement brings up some questions of how, and why it is actually happening. NASA did a thorough breakdown of Global Warming that analyzes its effects and causes.



One of the best pieces of evidence regarding global warming is the rapid rise of the sea level due to ice loss in the Arctics and Antarctica. Research conducted by NASA and the European Space Agency shows the magnitude of the ice loss, stating that ice loss in Antarctica has tripled since 2012 causing sea levels to rise at a rate faster than any time in the past 25 years. Comparing the rate of ice loss to that prior to 2012, it tripled from 83.8 billion tons a year to 241.4 billion tons a year. Meaning the threat of flooding during destructive storms is increased due to the gradual increase in the sea level. This research is important because it gives insight onto the impact of climate change in the present but also its gradual effects for the future. This research also helps with the understanding of the magnitude of rising sea levels which can be projected to see its future impact on humanity. I'm inclined to believe research like this because personally I can feel the effects of global warming on a daily basis, with the temperature in the winter seasons being noticeably warmer than previous years. But, obviously climate change has deeper effects than just having a warmer Christmas than usual.
