In the previous section, described three facts that become a major threat to the earth that is melting of ice in the north poles and south poles, rising of sea surface levels and climate change/the weather gets extreme. At this time there are three other facts that could also threaten the earth’s planet. These facts include:
1. Increasingly heat wave
Often the heat is felt on the earth so great. The sun seemed to sting harder. For some people who have been accustomed to living beneath burning hot of the sun or contact with the sun such as farmers, construction laborers, and marketing of company, burning hot not so minded.
However, for others such as students and office people are not familiar with direct sun exposure, often complain about the heat that is felt when outside. Indeed, now geothermal heat is different than several years ago. This is a fact shown by global warming.
In 2003, South Europe hit by a devastating heat wave that resulted in thousands of deaths. Most victims came from France. Other European countries such as Italy, Portugal, and Spain are also not discharged from the brunt of the heat wave. Besides thousands of soul have been lost, the effects of heat waves is drought and crop failure.
Meanwhile, in 2007 the United States also get heat wave’s awful. At that time, the average temperature that is felt in the United States reached above 40 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature of 53 degrees Celsius in the California’s region. The impact caused by heat waves, among others fall of victim dies, the death of hundreds of fish and livestock, forest burning, and destruction of agricultural produce.
2. The melting of glaciers
Currently the world's glaciers are melting. Just look at the glaciers of Whitechuck are melting up to 1.9 kilometers in 2006. The melting of glaciers gives influence on the earth. Besides to the availability of clean water threatened of being lost, the melting of glaciers contributed to an increase in sea surface levels.

3. The melting of permafrost in Noyabrsk, Siberia
Siberia has a muddy pool area is frozen by permafrost. There are researchers who claim that 1 million kilometers persegi permafrost are thawing. This phenomenon occurred in 2005. Other studies have noted the speed of the process of methane that release into the air up to 5 times faster. This is due to melting of permafrost in Siberia. Keep in mind, Noyabrsk containing more than 70 billion tonnes of frozen methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas which 23 times worse than carbondioxide.
