Increasing Temperature
Increasing of the earth's temperature is probably the leading effect of global warming today. The earth is gradually warming up due to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Global warming is the average rise in temperature on Earth and over the past 100 years, the average temperature has increased by 1°F, this may not seem like a huge difference, but animals and plants will have to adapt themselves to handle this new temperature. Predictions showed that earth was heading into another ice age, however we avoided this because of the extra gases in the air from burning of fuels, farming and livestock, landfills, etc, warmed up the globe.
