What are the potential effects of global warming in terms of climate change and how can they be arrested?

Nowadays, global warming becomes a hot issue to be discussed on. From day to day, it becomes worse and this caused our mother of nature, Earth has suffered a lot especially in term of climate change. Global warming can be explained in term of increasing of the Earth’s temperature that could change our planet by making the climate much more unpredictable, extinction of many species and making people’s life more difficult. Global warming is caused by a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. The natural greenhouse effect is a good thing as it helps to warm out earth. However, as the industrial revolution become more important, more carbon dioxide gas is emitted to the atmosphere as a by product of the combustion of petrol in this industrial. The carbon dioxide gas makes Earth’s greenhouse gas become thicker from day to day. Hence, more of the Sun’s heat gets trapped inside the atmosphere and our planet become warmer. This causes the global warming to occur. The global warming gives various impacts to the climate change and also to the human being. Thus, the best solution should be discovered in a way to arrest these problems from become worst.


Global warming has various impacts to our environment. The most obvious one is the changes in the temperature which lead to coastal erosion; lengthen the growing season, and melting of ice sheets and glaciers. Global warming result in more hot days and fewer cool days for certain places. The drought will happen frequently in a long time and the probability for hurricanes to occur also high as oceans getting warmer (Holli Riebeek,2007). In addition, the sea level also rises and hence leads to erode coasts and cause coastal flooding. The rising of the sea level happen due to the warming of the earth which warm up the oceans too. Hence, the sea water molecules expand and take up more volume causing the level of sea rises. The increase in temperature also make the melting of glaciers and ice sheets happen faster which can speed up the rises of sea level. The rising of the sea level will cause the low-lying country to disappear underwater. For instance, Bangladesh has a higher probability to disappear as it is one of the low-lying countries (NASA,2009).


The effect of global warming not only can be seen in term of increasing in temperature but also to the ecosystem including plants, animals and human itself. In many parts of the earth, the four seasons have already changed. Spring occur earlier than usual. The migrating animals have to move in order to survive. The species those are unable to move will facing extinction. The risk of for plague to destroy an ecosystem also increases as the shorter and milder winters fail to kill in insects. For the people of the residents of poor countries, they will suffer a lot as they don’t have enough resources to survive (Holli Riebeek,2007). According to some prediction, the climate change could make about 200 million of people become homeless in 2100 because of flooding and other phenomenon likes hurricanes (NASA,2009).


In order to overcome this problem from getting worse, the right steps should be taken. As a consumer, we can try to use energy as efficiently as we can. To do so, we can use the efficient electrical appliances and also use renewable technology. These steps are believable to reduce the producing of carbon dioxide below 1970 emission (Al-Gore,2007).


Global warming has various potential effects such as increasing in temperature and rising in the sea level. It also gives an effect to the variety of living things. In order to prevent this effects from become more worsen, the right steps should be taken. The main solution is by reducing the emission of carbon dioxide gas by using energy efficiently. Our planet will continue to warm and things getting worse if the right steps to reduce the global warming are not be taken. As a conclusion, all party should lend a hand and give a full commitment in order to save our mother of nature.

  1. I already read your essay and I also provided some comments regarding it:

    1. For the introduction, you did it very well as you state the subject matter and the controlling idea but I think the introduction is too long as you explain too much about the global warming.

    2. Next, as we know this text production is about global warming which more focus on the climate impacts and also discusses the way to solve this problem. Therefore, I think you should start the first point by given the global warming impact on the climate with detail. However, I identified that the points you explain in the paragraph still related with the thesis statement that you state.

    3. The ways you explain quite well as you state the examples. But certain paragraph might be lack of supporting detail and example especially forth paragraph.

    4. I think you should elaborate all the points for each paragraph in more proper way. I mean the point that you explain must be equally distributed for each paragraph. So that, the paragraph will look better or organized.

    5. Most of the sentences already elaborated clearly but need provide some improvement on the second last paragraph. Should give more clear explanations for the point.

    6. For the conclusion, you did it very well as you summarize all the main points given in the essay.

    7. I am not really sure about the citation, but I think the citations are correct.

    8. No grammar or spelling mistake identified.

    9. You have cover appropriate material from the standard sources which consist of video and articles.

    10. Other than that, it is better for you to use the conjunctions like firstly, beside that, furthermore, as the consequence and more other examples of conjunctions so that can show the relationship throughout the essay.
