Global warming causes this to happen

Global warming is an increase in the world's temperature by a few degrees. So far, the average temperature has increased at the fastest rate in history over the past fifty years. Global warming does severe damage to our Earth. An example of something that global warming caused was, the wildfires in Arizona, Oregon, and Colorado.

Another problem that global warming is causing is, the melting of the Arctic's ice caps, which results in the rising of the ocean. The hurricanes are another large problem when it comes to global warming. They have been getting a lot stronger, because of how the tropical storms are picking up a lot of the warm energy from the sun. Droughts are another global warming cause that is also a major worry. Droughts around the world are happening, which could lead to massive wars.

 

These are some examples on what global warming could possibly cause!!!!
