Global Warming is happening in this One Green Planet- Wake up and Conserve it

Yes, global warming is taking place in this green planet. And, it’s happening very fast. Our great green planet is already showing different and dangerous signs of worldwide climate change. It’s high time we all realize and play an important role in the conservation of green planet. Here are some of the most vital facts that you can look at:

• Since 1880, average temperatures of our planet have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius). This is very alarming sign as much of this fact has been found in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

• The rate of global warming is increasing at the tremendous manner. The last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennium.

• One of the most conserved gems of our green planet, the great Arctic is too feeling the effects the global warming. Perhaps the recent studies have shown that the average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and even in the eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average.

• The next most alarming sign is fast disappearance of Arctic ice. Yes, it is disappearing rapidly, and the day is not far when this entire ice region may be the completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Adding to this, sooner or later we are going to witness the total disappearance of Polar bears and indigenous cultures.

• Coral reefs, marine creatures which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature has too suffered the worst bleaching cent times due to the global warming.

Apart from all this, an upsurge in the amount of extreme weather and climate events like heat waves and strong tropical storms are also getting more common and attributing in climate change of our one green planet as well.
