Negative Effects of Global Warming

GLOBAL WARMING: DIVINE WARNING OF DOOMSDAY ocean’s salty water. The ocean will be full of water but, being too salty, it will be fit neither for irrigation nor for drinking. The situation prevailing will be somewhat like that portrayed by Samuel Coleridge in his poem ‘The Ancient Mariner’: “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” Time reporting of a Study on the melting of glaciers stated, “Glacier Loss Is ‘Unstoppable.’ The report elaborated on this, saying, “The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is one of the keys to global sea rise. Running up against the Amundsen Sea, it contains an estimated 27,808 cubic Miles (2.2 million cubic Km) of ice, about 10% of Antarctica’s total land ice volume. That is enough ice to raise the global sea level by more than 15 feet (4.6 meters) were it to melt, collapse and flow into the ocean, which in turn would swamp coastal cities as far inland as Washington D. C. And according to new research, that is precisely what is beginning to happen. (Bryan Walsh, Time, May 2014) A study led by NASA Sea Level Change Science Team members from the University of Hawaii projects that there will be a surge in coastal flooding starting in the 2030s. A report on NASA’s website states, “The global sea-level rise causing higher seas amplified by the lunar cycle will cause a leap of flood numbers
