Disadvantages of Global Warming
- Ocean circulation disrupted, disrupting and having unknown effects on world climate.
- Higher sea level leading to flooding of low-lying lands and deaths and disease from flood and evacuation.
- Deserts get drier leaving to increased desertification.
- Increased disease in humans and animals.
- Increased deaths from heat waves.
- Extinction of additional species of animals and plants.
Advantages of Global Warming
- Less need for energy consumption to warm cold places.
- Fewer deaths or injuries due to cold weather.
- Longer growing seasons could mean increased agricultural production in some local areas.
- Mountains increase in height due to melting glaciers, becoming higher as they rebound against the missing weight of the ice.
- Boundary disputes between countries over low-lying islands will disappear.

What is Global Warming?
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect.
