Global Warming: Earth's Main Threat

How might global warming threatens life on earth? When carbon dioxide from the earth's surface continues to be released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. When thousands of hectares of forests were damaged by fire or illegal logging, so the plants that died in it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. At the same time, a "time bomb" began working to destroy the planet.

Here are the facts that may be a threat to the planet earth where we stand:
1. Melting of ice in north poles and south poles
Global warming is a direct impact on the melting of ice in the polar north and south poles. Ice melting in Greenland has almost reached 19 million tons. Even a climate expert NASA (National Aeronautics and Space United States) made a startling prediction. Almost all the ice in north poles will disappear in late of summer 2012. Just imagine, if the earth is no longer covered with ice so the impact will be felt at all. Earth will become so hot to be occupied. 

2. The increase in sea surface level
Melting of ice at the north pole and south pole effect on sea levels. Sea level will rise. This can impact on the lowlands. Impact can be up to reduce the land area even drown.

3. Climate change or the weather gets extreme
NASA states that global warming resulting in climate change or the weather gets extreme. Over the past two years, rainfall is felt almost every day. There was hardly any dry season lately. In fact, in previous years the sun so stinging. The season seemed to have undergone a shift in time. Between rainy and dry season no longer can be predicted well. This resulted in losses for farmers, field farmers and salt farmers. Farmers' fields can not determine the planting season properly. Similarly, salt farmers are not able to determine the making time of salt due to the relentless rain shower.
The emergence of the storm is another phenomenon of global warming. Recently the United States hit by tornadoes hurricanes. Some time ago, China and Japan are also get the same phenomenon, that are the snow storms and hurricanes. Indonesia did not escape the phenomenon of strong winds.
