An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes,
including a rising sea level and changes in the amount and pattern of
precipitation. These changes may increase the frequency and intensity
of extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves,
hurricanes, and tornados. Other consequences include higher or lower
agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer streamflows,
species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.
Warming is expected to affect the number and magnitude of these
events.
Our Earth brings to you the evidence that we have all largely ignored.
We examine the causes and look at how we can help save our planet.
