Effects of Global Warming

Hello Everybody! Do you know the effects of global warming? Do you feel that Singapore is getting hotter? Do you read about news about chaotic weather like natural catastrophies, flooding, typhoons etc...

We have none other to blame than global warming. This is caused by both natural and unnatural activities. For example, the ozone layer is a layer surrounding the earth that protects us from the rays of the sun. However, this layer has been depleting for the past decades and will continue in the years to come.

The rising amount of greenhouse gases is forming a blanket around the earth. It traps the sun's rays and increases the temperature. This will eventually cause the polar ice caps to melt and the sea level will increase. Low lying areas will be affected.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. It's bad,isn't it? How can we stop it? What can we do? Everybody has a part to play. It's never too young to start. Start small by carrying out the three R's -Reduce, reuse and recycle.
