When they are discussed, many people have an opinion on global warming and its effects. The question asked is who really knows the true effects of this phenomenon? Global warming is perhaps one of the most controversial topics today, it is both underestimated and overestimated by almost everyone. We will discuss, in order, how freshwater resources are depleting as the weather warms, food production and its increasing costs, the effect on aging transportation infrastructure, increasing natural disasters and their effects on us and human health. Fresh water is a constant concern for most people who know that it is scarce. And this, without global warming being taken into account. Since most of the world's water is salt water, we need to conserve the fresh water we have. Humans need fresh water to thrive. We use fresh water for bathing, disposing of waste, filling our swimming pools, growing crops, but most importantly for drinking. If the planet were to run out of fresh water, the consequences would be catastrophic. Currently, the effect of global warming on fresh water lies mainly in snowmelt, and changes in precipitation patterns. Many mountainous regions rely on melting snow to replenish their water sources. Rising temperatures lead to less snowfall and melting earlier in the year. The impact of global warming on precipitation patterns is also causing increased evaporation and severe droughts, which have major impacts on declining water levels in lakes, rivers and streams. While the impact may seem small, you need to remember that the Great Lakes alone provide 18% of the world's fresh water, supplying drinking water to a vast region. Humans need two essential things to survive: water for drinking and drinking water. food to eat. We already know what is happening... middle of paper ... regarding global warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters. Storms only need a steady increase in sea surface temperatures to gain strength. Not only is climate change responsible, but it is also causing maximum wind speeds to intensify. These increases can explain many natural disasters such as extreme storms, hurricanes and tornadoes. It does not seem plausible that the increase in temperature could also cause earthquakes. There is plenty of scientific evidence confirming the fact that global warming does indeed have an impact on the movement of techtonic plates (earthquakes are caused by the friction of these plates). Natural disasters have destroyed many things and cost many lives, they should not be taken lightly. Finally, one of the most direct impacts on humans caused by global warming is its impact on our health...
