Global warming is a natural phenomenon. But we make it worse which happens every few thousand years anyway. Did you ever know the fact that when dinosaurs were around the Earth was on average 20 degrees warmer than it is today?
Global warming is now a fact, although it is still disputed whether it is a natural cycle or man created or something in between. It’s going to have a big effect in the next 50 years for sure. We have already heard icebergs breaking off from the Arctic and Antarctic (e.g. New Zealand is seeing icebergs for the first time in 38 years); glaciers are melting; the gulf stream is said to be slowing down; animals are moving northward; the polar bear may go extinct shortly; birds are nesting earlier; species are dying off faster (e.g. 70% of a certain variety of frogs have died because of habitat warming).
The effects are already starting and will be like a snowball rolling down a hill, as time progresses, they will become more pronounced and have more effect on our day to day lives. So yes it will have a big effect. Also global warming is not the half of it, we still have overpopulation, pollution and things like overtaxing our natural resources to contend with – look at the report that commercial fishing may collapse in the next couple of decades.
Global warming is also going to do something that you may not have thought about – Venice will be underwater entirely; New York will look like Venice and most coastal cities in the world will have a fate similar to these two cities. It won't take a hurricane to sink New Orleans which already sits below sea level. The bright side is it may eliminate some of our overpopulation problem!! Ha Ha…
