Effects of global warming
With the elevation in temperature, the temperature controlled balanced is disturbed. It has a deep impact on the water cycle, (Hydrologic cycle), promoted melting of glaciers, rise in sea level, increase in forest fires, increase in insect borne diseases, increase in diseases regarding temperature and alteration in severity of weather (YouTube).
Sea level rise
Warm temperature promotes the thermal expansions of water. Global warming promoted the thermal expansions of the sea water. With the thermal expansion, the volume of water increased and sea level risen. It is also due to the melting of the continental glaciers that filled oceans with more water (ravi). In the past 3000 years, the average rise in the sea level was only 0.4 to 0.8 inches. However, in the 20th century, the rise in sea level is about 8 inches (Hilderman, p61).
Arctic Ice melt
Arctic glaciers not only hold fresh water in ice form but also maintain the temperature of the region. With the increase in temperature the Arctic ice is melting and unable to cover the ocean (Astill, p2). The arctic ice traps the methane under the surface. As the ice is melting and the methane that is trapped under the ice surface is escaping (Hilderman, p61).
Lack of formation of ice on oceans surfaces in winter
Due to the global warming, the winters are ineffective and remain for shorter periods. The temperature in the winter season does not reach at a certain level. Thus, a tin layer of ice on the oceans form or in some regions there is not ice formation over the surface of oceans in winter season. The ice formation process in winters and ice melting process in summer is effective providing oceans creatures with oxygen. Without this process, the supply of oxyge...

...es an increase in temperature. Increases in temperature can do a lot of damage, even in small increases. Only a few degrees ended the ice age thousands of years ago (Kluger, 2006, p. 319). Another warming like that could have detrimental environmental effects. Changes in temperature will upset water cycles. A warming of a few degrees could cause glaciers and sea ice to melt. This would lead to ocean levels rising and swallowing coastal cities and islands. In order to stop global warming, much has to be done. Although it is very difficult to reverse once the process is started, global warming has to be stopped if we want to live like we are now. Emission of fossil fuels by humans is a big factor in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Controlling these emissions is one of the first of many steps that we must take in order to combat global warming.
Climate change has had many impacts all over the world and evidence of it is very apparent. One example that climate change has impacted the earth is the rising sea levels. Since planet earth is slowly getting warmer by greenhouse gasses, the glaciers and ice sheets around the world are melting, which is adding more water to the oceans. Within the last century, the global water levels have risen by nearly 7 inches. In a quote from “A Student 's Guide” they say,

Global warming is a negative affect on Earth what it affects; are animals to become extinct including polar bears also many other animals, diseases to spread in areas never been/seen before, and sea level rising which could cause problems for living societies, and forest fires to its environment and population. One degree in Earth’s temperature across its entire surface means huge changes in climatic extremes.

It’s quite alarming how global warming affects the world. Imagine the world’s coolest places, the Arctic and Antarctica with its ice melting and pouring significant amount of water to the sea. The sea levels are rising fast, weather conditions change rapidly and sometimes getting more unpredictable.
