Global Warming - Coggle Diagram

- - - - One of the most immediate and obvious consequences of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    - - With temperature records being smashed month after month, year after year, it's likely that human-caused global warming is making extreme heat events more frequent. Higher temperatures also boost evaporation, which dries out the soil in summer — intensifying drought over many areas
  - - - There is growing evidence to suggest that the warming of the atmosphere and upper ocean as a result of human-induced greenhouse gasses emissions will lead to more destructive tropical storms in the regions around the equator (hurricanes in the US and Caribbean; cyclones in Australasia; and typhoons in SE Asia).
    - - Global warming also increases water vapor in the atmosphere, which can lead to more frequent heavy rain and snowstorms. A warmer and more moist atmosphere over the oceans makes it likely that the strongest hurricanes will be more intense, produce more rainfall, and possibly be larger.
