Global Warming and Its Effects: A Kid-Friendly Exploration

This essay provides a comprehensive overview of global warming, tailored for a younger audience. It begins by defining global warming as the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature, primarily caused by greenhouse gases. The essay explains the concept of climate change and its effects, such as more frequent and severe weather events, including floods, heat waves, storms, and droughts. It also discusses the impact on wildlife, highlighting higher extinction rates due to habitat changes. The essay then explains the acidification of oceans and rising sea levels caused by melting ice, leading to coastal flooding. It further touches on the effects of dirtier air due to rising temperatures. The essay concludes by emphasizing the human-induced nature of climate change and the need for further research and monitoring, while also pointing out the acceleration of climate change in recent decades. The essay uses age-appropriate language and examples to make the complex topic accessible to children, making it an effective educational tool on environmental science.

Introduction
Global warming refers to the long term and gradual increase or rise in the overall or average
temperature of system of the earth’s climate. The gradual increase of the temperature of the earth
has been attributed to the greenhouse effects. The concept of climate change as well as global
warming has been interchangeably used. In general, this increase in the temperature values has
been attributed to the insulation properties of the greenhouse gases (Cook et al.2620) The
prospect that touches in environmental fixations of ozone harming substances will effectively
affect the earth's atmosphere throughout the following shortest period or decades which has
pulled in an immense inquiry about exertion. Creating awareness therefore should not be
selective of the age but rather include everyone in the society, male and female, children and
adults.
Climatologists have confronted two principle challenges. The first has been to recognize the
sign of human-prompted environmental change from the commotion of inter-annual and decadal
characteristic fluctuation. The second has been to anticipate plausible atmosphere situations for
what's to come. Atmosphere observing practices over the previous century and long-term
recreations of atmosphere over the previous thousand years demonstrate that the earth is for sure
warming up. Additionally, the ongoing examples of warming and of changes in precipitation are
commonly reliable with the examples anticipated by worldwide course models (Trenberth et
al.25). Physical highlights of the world's surface, for example, ocean ice and icy masses,
additionally show up to the proof in an anticipated manner the warming patterns globally. This
particular paper highlights some of the impacts of global warming while making reference to
familiar features and events which can be understood easily by children.
Impacts of the Global Warming

Frequent and More Severe Weather
The rising temperatures which have characterized global warming tend to worsen several
disasters including floods, heat waves, storms and droughts. A warmer climate usually have the
potential of creating atmosphere capable of retaining, collecting as well as dropping more water.
Such kind of the events leads to the change of weather patterns since the area is likely to be drier
or wetter. The increased cases of intense storms, droughts as well as floods pose a lot of risk to
the safety as well as health of the public (Kosaka, Yu, and Shang 409). The access to clean water
is usually jeopardized by the conditions of continuous droughts. Also it facilitates or fuels the
spread of the wildfires.. In some part of the world, water shortage has been the main causes of
death (Kosaka, Yu, and Shang 409).
Higher Extinction rates of the wildlife
As the sea and land under global warming undergo changes rapidly, the animals that uses them
as their places of habitats have actually been catching the heat (Cook et al. 24024). These
animals are doomed and they are undergoing extinction particularly the species which cannot
adapt very fast as expected. Research work has indicated that most of the species are already
changing their habitats to cooler places in fact moving to the places of higher altitudes in attempt
to escape the warming effects.
Oceanic land is becoming more acidic
Majority of the emission of carbon which are generated from the human activities are absorbed
by the oceans, the level of acid in such mass water bodies has been increasing(Trenberth et
al.20). The increasing level of the acid in the oceans has been posing threat to the aquatic life in
general. Progressive decoupling of species communications (for example plants also, pollinators)

inferable from confused phenology, particularly where one accomplice is signaled by day length
(which will not change) and the other accomplice is prompted by temperature. The vast majority
of the patterns clear so far are those of uniquely defined species.
Higher Sea Levels
Increased temperatures of the earth have led to melting of ice in the Polar Regions.
Subsequently, the melting ice has led to the increase in the volume of the oceans and seas beyond
what can be accommodated. This is the reason for the submergence of the coastal cities which
were initially properly developed characterized by the destruction of properties as well as loss of
biodiversity. . The falling or reductions of these individual reactions progressively to influence
the piece and structure of entire networks appears to be inescapable (McGlade, Christophe, and
Paul 187). The most calming thought is that regardless of whether just a small amount of the
models checked on here are without a doubt on the aftereffect of the upgraded nursery impact.
They have happened with warming levels at just one fifth, or less, of those normal throughout the
following century
Dirtier Air
Air pollution gets worsen by the rising temperatures. This takes place through increase of the
ground level ozone. The ozone is created when there is pollution from the factories, cars and
other sources reacts to the physical properties of the sunlight as well as heat. The higher rates of
hospital admission as well as death rates related to asthma are attributes of the dirtier air.
Conclusion
From the discussions presented above, it is evident that the present analysis of the long-term data
set shows that there are anomalous changes in climate in the previous century. This change is

already affecting distribution, physiology as well as phenology of certain species in manners that
are already in consistent with the predictions which have been theoretically presented. Despite
the fact that non-climatic factors or natural variations can be held responsible for some of the
events which have taken place, the most parsimonious reasons or explanations are human-
induced. Further examinations of existing long-term informational indexes will be critical to
recognize defenseless species what's more, communities. Be that as it may, on the grounds that
such informational indexes are generally uncommon, foundation of new standard checking
projects will likewise be significant. A large number of the patterns investigated here show
quickening paces of progress in the course of the last two or on the other hand three decades,
demonstrating that such circumstances will become progressively clear in the generally present
moment. They include the following:
 The expansion of species' geographic range limits towards the posts or to higher rises by
dynamic foundation of new neighborhood communities.
 The termination of nearby species along run limits at lower scopes or lower heights.
 Increasing attack by entrepreneurial, weedy as well as profoundly portable species,
particularly into destinations where neighborhood community of existing species are
declining.
