Global warming has reduced the areas covered by snow in the northern hemisphere, and has had asa consequence that much of the icebergs that floated in you Arctic Ocean have melted. It has also recently observed with this increase in temperatures, large portions of Antarctic ice have beenseparated from the rest of the mass is polar, thus reducing the size of the frozen continent. The consequences of our actions beyond a generation or two just considered. We could be creating a seriousproblem to our children and our grandchildren.
Global warming is a phenomenon that is the increase in the temperature on Earth produced by carbon dioxide and toxic waste, we will bring as a consequencemelting at the poles and skin cancer in people.
Global warming would alter the distribution of fauna and flora on the planet. This would be the spread of diseases that some of these animals arecarriers. Such is the case of malaria, dengue or yellow fever, whose vectors are certain species of mosquitoes that live mainly in tropical zones.
