Why is Global Warming a Problem?

Global warming is more than just a vague scientific theory. Global warming is a problem which has the potential to affect every living thing on this planet. Should many of the predictions come true, profound negative consequences may be the result. Nuclear power will solve this problem.
Global warming’s affects are predicted to be multifaceted. Numerous scientific studies released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are available to support this discussion. For example, climate change as a result of global warming could potentially lead to the extinction of thousands of species of both plants and animals. Many species which have been part of our culture for centuries are already declining rapidly. What boy at one time has not played with a turtle or a frog? Due to global warming, these animals may soon be history. Due to rapid melting of polar ice caps, it is possible that over a billion people may need to relocate from where they have lived for thousands of years. Many Pacific Island states may cease to exist altogether. It is predicted that dramatic climate changes will also result from global warming. More frequent droughts, floods, and hurricanes will result. These climate changes will adversely affect agriculture such that food shortages and possible famine may be much more common. Major summer heat waves can lead to the death of thousands, as happened in Europe just a few years ago. Warmer climate may also foster increases in diseases which can effect thousand or even millions of people.
