This is one of the Threats identified during a [SWOT] analysis of the current world situation.
In the short term the Earth is warming, probably because of the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide pollution of the atmosphere. Most of the greenhouse gases are made by the rich countries who will not reduce them much because of the damage that would do to their economies. Instead they blame the poor countries for burning their forests. Warming will probably change the growth of plants, leading to more mass movements of people. Sea level will rise, flooding major coastal cities. In the medium term the Earth is probably heading toward another glacial. This will cause even more problems than global warming. |
