Global Warming - Case Study Example

Conclusion There is no denying the fact that global warming is a phenomenon that is directly related to human activities and consumption patterns. Over the decades, global warming has nudged the life existent on this planet, to the brink of a possible disaster. Global warming is a phenomenon, whose environmental impact is so pervasive that it touches every facet of earth’s environment, are they the rising sea levels or melting of the glaciers, or the organic consequences like changes in animal migration patterns, impact on the human health, or the pervasive droughts across the earth.

Still, it is even more ironic to acknowledge that though global warming is closely linked to Industrial Revolution, which added to human affluence, yet, global warming is surely poised to wrench out a heavy economic cost from both the developed and developing economies. The sad thing is that if one takes into consideration the places worst impacted by global warming, one realizes that it is the poorest and least developed of nations like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Honduras, Vietnam, Nicaragua, etc that are to bear the brunt of this imminent calamity of human making.

Global warming is ravaging the developing world in the form of natural disasters like droughts and floods and the consequent epidemics, hunger and large scale human migration and poverty. The thing that needs to be feared is that such calamities and disasters are bound to get more pervasive and pan-global, if something is not urgently done to ameliorate the situation. Global warming is a challenge that needs a concerted and collective global action.
