Global warming is touching many parts of the world.  Global warming makes the sea rise, and when the sea rises, the water covers many low land islands.  This is a big problem for many of the plants, animals, and people on islands.  The water covers the plants and causes some of them to perish.  When they die, the animals lose a supply of food, along with their natural habitation.  Although animals have a better capability to adjust to what happens than plants do, they may perish also.  When the plants and animals die, humans lose access to two sources of food, plant food and animal food.  Humans may also lose their habitats.  As a result, they would also have to abandon the area or die.  This chain reaction is often referred to as a break in the food chain.

Global warming will have serious impacts on the environment and on society. So far it has forced U.S. plants to change their behavior in recent decades in ways that can be harmful. From recent studies direct links can be made between global warming and the changes in the behavior in plants. Scientists are looking into the effects of a higher inconsistency in temperatures and more frequent thawing/refreezing of the soil on certain plants. They found that some of these varying temperatures might help the plants. This is actually some good news in a topic that is almost always negative.

But not all the news is good. Roots were shorter, and the thawing cycles can lead to a loss of nutrients. Those nutrients could end up in rivers, creating algae blooms. Also, the change in temperature will dry out the land which means it’s more prone to forest fires. Forest fires kill thousand of plants each blaze. However w hat seems far away now will one day be the near-future, and we can wait until then to start doing something.
