Global Warming
From Missiopedia
[edit] Global Warming
- Global warming has become a reality through a series of knock-on effects with unknown results in the long-term —
- probably with the sea-level rising,
- flooding of lowlands,
- destruction of coral reefs,
- more cataclysmic storms,
- more severe climate changes,
- a sudden, catastrophic rise in world temperatures, etc.
- The wealthy nations with 20% of the world’s population produce 80% of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming (the USA with 4.5% of the world’s population produces 22% of the greenhouse gases)
[edit] Destroying the Earth
- Myanmar: Plundered and impoverished by its own leaders. Teak forests stripped.
- Russia: Many thousands of square kilometres have been made uninhabitable by nuclear disasters, weapons testing, and the oil industry.
- Tuvalu may be the first nation to disappear as a result of global warming.
- Uzbekistan: Ecological disasters & lack of water & over-irrigation & poor soil & rapid disappearance of the Aral Sea.
