Global Warming
by Daniela Simkova


When people started to use all the products of the modern world, they did not think about the ruining of our world. Climate changes are a product of the modern life and thus they affect the world nature and it also has a royalty on our health system. Society now started some research how to protect our world, but it is still just in progress. German, British and U.S. scientists are saying in their report that: "Society may be lulled into a false sense of security by smooth projections of global change." They also wrote that: "Tipping elements in the tropics, the boreal zone, and west Antarctica are surrounded by large uncertainty." They connected it to the vision of more serious potential shifts than we could imagine. One of the climate shifts or a "tipping element" could be a rainforest, which is drying from the top of the trees. There is a big risk that the rainforest will dry out completely. These "tipping elements" are unfortunately close enough to start doing some serious arrangements. Timothy Lenton, a lead author working at the University of East Anglia in England said: "Many of these tipping points could be closer than we thought." There are several more studies concerned about the changes, which are caused by the Global warming. For instance there is a study concerned about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice during the summer. This problem may also occur in couple of decades.
