THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
The greenhouse effect is very important; if it didn't exist at all, the
temperature of our planet would be 40 degrees lower and the oceans would
freeze. But an increase in the greenhouse effect may equally lead to global
warming with disastrous consequences.
The higher average temperatures produced by global warming could
cause dramatic changes in weather patterns. Less rain might fall over large
land masses; Central Africa, South Asia and some parts of the United States
could risk severe drought and famine. More rain might fall in coastal areas
and over the oceans, and there might be more storms and hurricanes in the
Pacific. A rise in the earth's average temperature of only one or two degrees
would probably melt the polar ice caps and raise sea levels. Sea levels
throughout the world are already rising by about two millimetres a year. If the
polar ice caps do melt, sea levels could rise by more than a meter over a few
decades.
