Global warming and climate change affect absolutely everyone and everything on this planet, but with so many models, theories, and predictions, it can get confusing to know who or what to believe about the environment anymore. Global warming and climate change are terms for the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.
Future climate change and associated impacts will differ from region to region around the globe. Anticipated effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels, changing precipitation, and expansion of deserts in the subtropics. Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall with floods and heavysnowfall, ocean acidification, and species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes. Effects significant to humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the abandonment of populated areas due to rising sea levels.
Here are some facts about climate change and global warming and how the phenomena are literally changing the planet.

Make i spread my mat here should incase it makes FP.











Dash me LIKES cos e no easy to be FTC.

1. Approximately 600,000 deaths occurred worldwide as a result of weather-related natural disasters in the 1990s, where 95 percent of those deaths took place in developing countries.

2. 2014 was the world’s hottest year on record, surpassing the previous record set in 2010, tied with 2005.


3. Melting ice caps have caused sea levels in the north to rise. For the first time in hundreds of years, ships can pass through the fabled Northwest Passage above North America.


4. Among climate scientists, 97 percent agree that human-caused climate change is happening here and now. The sooner we act to slow the rate of climate change, the lower the risk and cost for future generations.


5. Cows produce more methane than the oil industry does: 20 percent of U.S. methane gas emissions is produced by farmed cattle burps and farts.


6. While the U.S. is trying to reduce their greenhouse gases, China plans to construct one coal-based electrical power station each week for the next 10 years.


7. Coal combustion creates 40 percent of electricity worldwide but also is responsible for "30 percent of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions worldwide, and 72 percent of CO2 emissions from global power generation," making renewable energy sources like wind or solar more cost-effective in the long run.


8. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent.


9. In 1896, Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius was the first to say that burning fossil fuels may eventually result in global warming.


10. The Montana Glacier National Park has only 25 glaciers left from the 150 that were there in the year 1910.

Amzee.. U sef..
**In fact,, run dey come quick ooo... You are FCT..**

11. Over 100 million people living in coastal regions will be displaced by just a one-yard rise in sea levels.

12. The golden toad was the first species to go extinct because of climate change and habitat loss.

13. Of the land in California, 99.84 percent is experiencing drought.

14. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers (36 to 60 cubic miles) of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about152 cubic kilometers (36 cubic miles) of ice between 2002 and 2005.

15. Scientists believed the temperature of the earth will soon become 5.8 degrees higher.

16. More than 1 million species have already faced extinction due to global warming.
Global warming does not simply cause a significant increase in the temperature of the earth but also leads to the destruction of habitats and ecosystems. This explains why over a million species have already become extinct.

17. The past nine years have all been among the 25 hottest temperatures in history.
On the list of the 25 hottest years in the history of the Earth according to NASA, the last nine years are all included. This means that compared to the temperature of the world before, the world today is much hotter.

No wonder...this current heat is something else.

Cc: lalasticlala, dominique, Mynd44

From 1880 -1905-1935-1960-1990- 2016 the heat has being heating back to back, and its not seeming to stop, iyalaiya climate, global warming ti take over! *drops mic* emmm, egbon seun if u want the a.c you can come and take it.

now that is has landed to its permanent site... lemme comment...


Global warming is indeed a cause for alarm... for endangered species and for our future generation..... for we didn't inherit this land from our forefathers, we borrowed it from our children..... Everything you do, put the environment in consideration... #shalom

Explorer... Try show some pix of Tonto dikeh so mod go move this to FP.

Ah! Explorer, you need to be here, its like someone forgot to close the door or hell.

Another interesting explorers thread.

Lalasticlala, come and see snake pepper soup.


* modified *
I know say he go rush come.
What is it with this guy and snake.

D heat na follow come o

Let's stop complaining and embrace the heat joor..

Moreover I still believe it's God's own sign of showing us that hell fire is real ..

May God have mercy on us o.

ok

*sees explorer's post and matches brake suddenly*
Abeg make the angel in charge of sun take chill pill na....I don roast finish

I wonder how people that live in one room with single window survive in this heat wave

E be like say the last person wey enter hell fire forget close door ni joor

I will wait for press briefing from Lie Muhammed by next week on how Buhari will retrieve the green house gases generated by GEJ that caused this global warming. Till then I comment my reserve.

May God continue to bless u explorers. Kudos bro

Abeg anybody dey here wey still dey rub cream?

Cos me don stop sinceee

What if, just what if it's all normal?

Remember apparently there was the "ice" age @ some point?
