The Arctic and the earth's northern latitudes will feel the a lot of the effects of world wide warming as they continue to escalate. As the Arctic packs and glaciers start to melt from the increased temperatures the tundra and seas surrounding the places will continue to absorb the warmth which was once reflected back in space. Climate models show that if temperatures throughout the remainder of the world rise to 3 degrees Fahrenheit they'll more than likely rise to a minimum of 7 degrees Fahrenheit around Arctic. From this the oceans throughout the world will become full with melting glaciers and ice from the Arctic likely to rise by a minimum of 3 feet.
As the temperatures continue to rise this will force the ocean to evaporate faster and for that reason more rainfall will be accomplished. The issue with this effect is that the rainfall might hit places of the world which don't need it at all causing massive floods and monsoons. Subtropical places like India are expected to be the target of this particular effect of world wide warming. On the flip side it's safe to say that droughts are going to be more of an issue than flooding.
There are predictions that the future effects of world wide warming might have its benefits also. Around northern part of the world like Canada, the warmer temperatures will mean longer increasing seasons and more rainfall. This of course then will put an end to any food shortage that might be that occurs and give a recent sense of prosperity to countries throughout the world which were struggling to survive.
Many of the changes and effects listed above are already taking place today on a smaller scale of course. Sea levels are rising because of thermal expansion of the ocean, along with melting of land ice. Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing also.except only a little as compared to what has been predicted for the future. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency and intensity of other extreme weather events like floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes.
Other effects of world wide warming involve larger or lower agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows and species extinctions. As a further effect of world wide warming, diseases like malaria are returning in places where they were suppressed earlier. This is only the start of the effects world wide warming can have on our earth. As the greenhouse gases continue to increase and enter the atmosphere these effects are only going to increase in severity creating it harder and harder to maintain our quality of life.
