The causes of global warming are also influenced by various feedback processes caused by global warming. One example is water evaporation. In the case of global warming due to increases in greenhouse gases such as CO2, warming initially causes more water to evaporate into the atmosphere. Because water vapor itself is a greenhouse gas, heating continues until an equilibrium water vapor concentration is reached, thereby increasing the amount of water vapor in the air. The resulting greenhouse effect is very large when compared to CO2 gas itself.
Impact of global warming
Scientists study global warming using computer models of temperature, rainfall patterns and atmospheric circulation. Based on these models, scientists have made several predictions about how global warming will affect weather, sea levels, beaches, agriculture, wildlife ecology, and human health.
* Unstable Climate
- Climate is the average weather conditions covering a large area. Meanwhile, weather refers to the condition of the air in a small area at a certain time. Considering the impact of climate and weather, the drought has had a severe impact on their home region. Due to global warming, the Northern Hemisphere has become more unstable than the rest of the Earth. As a result, the icebergs begin to melt, and the land area becomes smaller. There is almost no floating ice anymore.
- Areas that previously had light snow will no longer have light snow. In subtropical mountain areas, temperatures tend to rise in winter and at night when there is little snow.
* Sea Level Rises
- When the ice at the pole's melts, the amount of sea water increases, causing sea levels to rise. During the 20th century, global sea levels rose by 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches), and IPCC scientists predict that sea levels will rise by 9 to 88 cm (4 to 35 inches) in the 21st century.
