This is believed to cause an increase of 2-5°C and this very small temperature rise could have catastrophic effect on crop growth, drought, ice caps melting, weather changes and the destruction of some habitats.

It claims that there has been no overall change in air temperature since 1999 and that even though the sea-ice in the Arctic has diminished since 1978 it has grown by 8% in the Southern Ocean. It also quotes that the expert in climate change said that they can only be 90% certain on what will happen and the causes of global warming. This suggests uncertainty even ...
