The global warming problem must be addressed, it is not going to go away without some changes being made
The global warming impacts seen will vary around the world, and can include cooling as well as warming
The ecological crisis must be dealt with to protect the earth and every living thing on it
Here are Some Most Astonishing Facts About Global Warming Problem!!

1. Cooling Due To Global Warming
Not all global warming impacts involve warming. In some areas of the world, global warming can mean a cooling instead, especially in some areas near the tropics and equator. When these areas cool, native tropical plants, animals, and birds may not be able to withstand the cold and may either migrate to another area or die off and become extinct. Global warming is part of the cycle that will eventually end in another ice age, and the current ecological crisis may speed up this process, making earth very hostile to mankind and other inhabitants in the future. Global warming can cause many different effects, not just a warmer temperature.

2. The Disappearance Of Coastal Areas
The global warming problem around the world, and the buildup of carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases, will result in the disappearance of coastal areas and low lying islands in the sea. The ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, faster than scientists predicted. This adds water to the sea, raising the sea levels and causing coastal areas to be flooded and covered. This can lead to land and food shortages for many countries, and can result in crowding, diseases, and famines in many areas of the world due to the loss of these lands. Steps to minimize and prevent any further global warming impacts is important to protect the earth and environment.

3. The Drop In Sea Temperatures
The melting of the polar ice caps is part of the ecological crisis, and this is a direct cause of a lower sea temperature, as well as a higher sea level. When the melted ice flows into the sea, it can drop the temperature down. As this water is pulled into currents and flows around the world, it can cause a significant change in areas where warm tropical climates exist. Even a five degree change in the sea temperature can have substantial and devastating global warming impacts on many areas around the world. This also contributes to more severe natural storms and disasters as well.

4. The Amount Spent By Oil And Coal Companies
One of the most astonishing facts about the global warming problem is the amount of money spent by the coal and oil companies and industries in a six month period aimed at preventing climate change regulation and actions. This amount is almost half a billion dollars just in the first half of the year 2008. This was money that was used as donations to political action committees aimed to prevent any changes in the status quo concerning greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. This money was also for advertising to block legislation aimed at protecting the environment, and money used to lobby lawmakers to prevent any law and regulation concerning the environment and global warming impacts.

5. Global Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Fossil Fuels Have Increased Since The Kyoto Protocol Was Adopted
In 1992 when the Kyoto Protocol was signed, the intention was to lessen greenhouse gas emissions and global warming impacts, and to improve the ecological crisis. The astonishing fact is that in the years since the Kyoto Protocol was signed, there has been an increase by thirty five percent in the amount of carbon dioxide that is released around the globe. This is proof that the protocol alone is not effective, and other measures need to be taken as well. This is a big global warming problem caused by fossil fuel use globally.

6. Global Warming Increases Forest Destruction With Increased Pest Activity
One global warming problem that can make the ecological problem worse is the effect that the warming has on pests which pose a danger to forests. Forests are natural carbon sinks, and their destruction allows more carbon to stay in the air and contribute to global warming. The pine beetle is more active and prevalent due to warmer winters in Colorado, and these pests have destroyed one and a half million acres of forest in the state so far.

7. Global Emissions Now Cause Problems For Centuries Into The Future
Global warming impacts will not disappear as soon as carbon emissions are stopped completely. The changes brought about by global warming will last for centuries, even with no more greenhouse gas emissions being released. It is critical to address the ecological crisis now, because waiting will just make the future even more bleak.
