Evidence showing Global Warming is occuring

Over the last decades, many worldwide phenomena have been occurring. For example, rise in temperature, drastic weather condition, lose of low lying island to the sea, melting of glaciers, loss of natural habitat and many more. At the same time, there have been rise in the amount of greenhouse gases, deforestation activities and agriculture productivity. Is this a mere coincidence or is there a relationship between the human activities and the phenomena. To find out which is the case, we will need to study any evidence engineers and researchers from other filed of studies can find.

In science, environmentalist have studied that the phenomena is caused by greenhouse effect. The green house gas produced by human activities traps most of the sun radiation, which was supposed to be reflected back to space. Hence there is a rise in the global temperature. This theory is also supported by satellite’s data on the earth temperature and the emission data of greenhouse gases recorded since decades ago.

Again in science, biologist found that the there has been an increasing loss in natural habitat of corals. Corals are marine organisms that are sensitive to environment changes. According to Seth (2006, March 30), a science writer, researchers have studied that colonies of corals that have been growing over the century died due to the rise in sea temperature. Many coals attractions that were once filled with beautiful and colorful corals have become rock like structures. It is just like lush forest turning into a dead desert.
Over at the social science sector, geologists have observed many effects caused by global warming. Drastic change in weather has become more frequent over the world. For example, Australia has suffered its worst drought season in the year 2006. According to a news article from Guardian (2006, Nov), many farmlands became arid and reservoirs become depleted. The drought had made the Australians realize that something has to be done to reduce the greenhouse effect.

One other area that was affected by global warming was business. For example, Cameron Highlands in Malaysia has been a popular destination, for the past five decades, when the temperature was pleasantly cool. However, over the last decade, temperate has risen. At the same time, large deforestation occurred around the area. The trees which were able to trap moisture to keep the air cool were removed, thus causing the temperature rise.

The different disciplines of studies have shown many evidences of global warming occurring in Earth. We cannot ignore the fact that the loss of corals, drop in business and drastic weather change has nothing to do with global warming. The number and damage of the effects have been increasing so much that it have become hard for us to deny the existence of global warming.
