Climate change Topic sentence: Our earth is a really delicate place.

All of our weather patterns, ice caps and water systems are finely balanced. Even one degree could cause things to change. And four degrees could change everything. Here are 4 ways the World Bank says that 4 degrees would make a difference. Main idea 1: Ocean Changes _ Under the water here at the Great Barrier Reef, life looks pretty spectacular. But if the world warms four degrees over the next century, it could look very different. _Coral is really sensitive to changes in water temperature. +A couple of degrees rise can stop their growth, a couple more degrees can start to destroy them _ 4 degrees could spell disaster for many reefs around the world Main idea 2: Heat Extremes _ You might think 4 degrees extra wouldn't make much difference. But the temp rises wouldn't spread out evenly across the globe. _ If you're living in these areas in 2100, then your temps might rise by up to 9 degrees _ many of those areas are already pretty hot now, your air con might struggle. Main idea 3: Food Shortages _ 4 degrees extra on the temperature gauge, food could be a problem + Some crops die if conditions are too hot. + some water sources are likely to evaporate too, making it a double whammy.

_ we could see more drought and even tougher conditions for farmers. Main idea 4: Rising Sea Levels _ the most dramatic change of all _ the immense amount of ice around the polar caps will start to melt, dumping billions and billions of litres into the sea. + Low lying island nations, like Kiribati in the Pacific, are already facing big problems with rising sea levels. + These people's homes aren't far from going under the waves forever. Conclution sentence: But by 2100, if the predictions are correct, all of these areas could follow suit, including some parts of Australia. That's why the World Bank is calling for all countries to work together to fight climate change now. Because it'll require a big effort from everyone to reduce pollution and stop the 4 degrees before it happens.

Our earth is a really delicate place. All of our weather patterns, ice caps and water systems are finely balanced. Even one degree could cause things to change. And four degrees could change everything. Here are 4 ways the World Bank says that 4 degrees would make a difference. First of all, the change of Ocean. Under the water here at the Great Barrier Reef, life looks pretty spectacular. But if the world warms four degrees over the next century, it could look very different. So 4 degrees could spell disaster for many reefs around the world. For example, a special plant under the sea - Coral is really sensitive to changes in water temperature. A couple of degrees rise can stop their growth, a couple more degrees can start to destroy them. Secondly, heat extremes. During a heatwave, things already feel pretty hot. You might think 4 degrees extra wouldn't make much difference. But the temp rises wouldn't spread out evenly across the globe. If you're living in these areas in

2100, then your temps might rise by up to 9 degrees. And considering many of those areas are already pretty hot now, your air con might struggle. Generally humans can control their internal temperature in the heat by sweating. However, under conditions of extreme heat and humidity, the body cant keep up and will suffer from heat stress. Extreme heat can cause many health problems, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and more. (If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.) During a heat wave, everyone is at risk and more vulnerable. Thirdly the shortage of Food: We all like a good feed, but with 4 degrees extra on the temperature gauge, food could be a problem. Global warming is expected to affect agriculture in every part of the world but it will have greater impact in the tropics and subtropics, where crops are less able to adapt to climate change and food shortages are already starting to occur due to rapid population growth. Some crops die if conditions are too hot. And with extra heat around, some water sources are likely to evaporate too, making it a double whammy. So we could see more drought and even tougher conditions for farmers. Fourthly, having more disaster. The temperature of water in ocean is getting warmer. That is factor giving strength to storm. Within 30 years, the amount of strong storms are double increasing . From 1905 to 1930, there are approximately 3,5 storm a year but from 1931 to 1994, there are 5,1 and from 1995 to 2005 there are 8,4. The damaging level of life and matter which is caused by storms and flood is in record. While some places in the world sustain flood, other place sustain regularly drought. Drought makes water source of life and producing become exhausted. Drought also critically affect to agriculture in some countries. Therefore, ouput and source of food supply are threaten and population in the world will suffer famine. Nowadays, some places such as Andia, Pakistan and Afica are going through drought with low rainfall. Statistics show that until 2020, there will be 250 milions Afirian who lack of water so that produce of agriculture will be decreasing 50 percent Fifthly the increasing of epidemic diseases. High temperature with flood and drought create a good condition for infectious animals such as fly, mosquito,

mouse. ..multiply and pass disease to humans.that is the danger for healthy of human. WHO organization records that dangerous epidemic diseases spread around the world. For example cold places with cold climate now also have tropical diseases. Every years, there are about 150 thousand people die for the diseases which relate to climate change. t bnh tim do nhit tng qu cao, n cc vn h hp v tiu chy. Sixthly, damaging effect to economy. The loss of economy due to climate change as creasing as the temperature of earth. The strong storms make harvest come to nothing, so we loss more money. Besides, solving problem about diseases also take more money. The more climate change, the more damaging economy. Its can affect to many fields in our life. The cost of foods and materials is escalate. Government face to losses from travel and industry. Morever, the demand of human after diseases is very important. Huge expense to solve the damage after diseases. War and conflict. Foods and water are more and more scarce. The land is curtail but the population is continously increasing. That is the reason cause war and conflict between countries. Mt a dng sinh hc loss of ecosystem High tempertature in the earth make animals and plants disapear or extinct. That is due to soil is exhausted, human deforest and high temperature of ocean.Scientist recognize that some species move to another places to find place where have suitable temperature. For example, red fox which usually live in bac mi move to bac cuc. And obviously, human is also affected. Exhausted soil and rising sea level threat our life. Besides, when animals and plants disapear, source of foods, materials and income is disapear too. Finally, the level of sea is rising. Finally, we have the most dramatic change of all rising sea levels. With extra heat around, the immense amount of ice around the polar caps will start to melt, dumping billions and billions of litres into the sea. Imagine that youre visiting a friends beach house. Youve spent a week swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing by the beautiful blue ocean waters. But then,

one morning, you wake up to find that the house is submerged in salt water. From that you can see the danger of change of rising sea level. Low lying island nations, like Kiribati in the Pacific, are already facing big problems with rising sea levels. These people's homes aren't far from going under the waves forever. Morever rising sea level can increase coastal erosion, pollution, storm damage and looding. They can pose threats to coastal roads, bridges, jetties, breakwaters, docks, piers, and waterfront property. Intruding salt water might contaminate groundwater supply and threaten landfill and hazardous-waste sites. But by 2100, if the predictions are correct, all of these areas could follow suit, including some parts of Australia. That's why the World Bank is calling for all countries to work together to fight climate change now. Because it'll require a big effort from everyone to reduce pollution and stop the 4 degrees before it happens.
