Storms will also occur with more frequency and intensity. Ironically, water in the soil will evaporate
faster, causing dryness between rains. Regions that are already considered dry will experience more
dryness. Some semi-arid regions in the African continent, for example, may suffer more while areas
that depend on their region's mountain snow packs for irrigation will not benefit from earlier melting
between growing seasons.
With warmer weather, some hurricanes will be more severe and winds are expected to blow stronger. It
is also possible that wind patterns may shift. Extremely cold periods may be experienced as well.
The phenomenon known as El Nino may occur in more frequency and severity. This is expected to
affect different regions in many countries. All in all, scientists will have some difficulty in predicting
weather patterns.
With changes in climate brought about by global warming, health concerns and risks may also increase.
Heat stress and diseases may become common in places that did not have any problems with them
before.
Global warming is an issue that requires immediate action. Even plants and animal species are
adversely affected by it. While many of the changes that occur in our planet are totally out of our
hands, we have been direct contributors to events that have had negative effects on our environment.
This is why many leading social and scientific organizations have urged nations to cooperate in the
move to counter this worldwide problem before it's too late.
