During the last century, the average temperature has risen from 0.74 -0.18oC. It has caused many side effects, which include, the rise in sea level and strong changes in the form of rainfall contributing to floods and drought. The melting of the Polar ice caps has resulted in higher and warmer sea levels.
This rise in temperature is expected to bring about sudden changes in the global climate “causing parts of the earth to dramatically heat up or cool down in a span of few years”. Global warming will generally make the sea level rise and changes the amount and pattern of precipitation resulting in floods and droughts.
