Dangerous global warming will continue
by Nina Gotzmannova


Since the invention of the first automobile, since the factories began to contaminate the air and water, is known, that the pollution of environment is dangerous. The new study of British scientists published on Wednesday reveals, that the problem is more urgent than ever. The research is about man-made global warming and its impact on the Earth. It's known, that from 1976 to 2004 the average surface temperature rose 0.49 degrees Celsius. This dangerous heating will continue in the future, if the mankind won't decide to stop it. The consequences may be deadly. The global warming is causing several unpleasant changes in the nature. The humidity level is driving up, tropical storms are more intense and because the humidity is so high, there are also more cyclones. The warming affects people too. Human health is already starving from heat stress. The rising humidity is the most dangerous effect of overheating. By 2100 the humidity can increase up to 10 percent. The number is quite accurate, because the study was made on new computer model and using a new set of observation data. But according to another study the global warming is also affecting the travel habits. Due to the rising temperature and rising humidity in countries popular for summer vacations, more tourists will stay at home rather than travel. This may be risky for countries such as Egypt, Fiji or Maldives, because almost half of the state income is from the tourist business. And lastly, the untouched nature is the most valuable thing on Earth we have.
