Global Warming Temperature Increase

Due to Global Warming there is an expected temperature rise of 3.1 to 7.2 Degrees Fahrenheit by the End of the century. Since the 1800s there have been accurate temperature records that have predicted the Global Average Temperature. It has been found that over the last 50 years, there has been a decline in record cold temperatures while the amount of heat waves has risen. This data is accurate and studied by scientists across the globe. To ensure accuracy, they use standard equipment and techniques. They account for altitude and time along with averaging their land readings with the sea temperature. It is irrefutable and proven that our temperature is steadily rising and will range from 3.2 to 7.2 degrees depending whether we take control of our situation

Droughts:

• An increase in dry areas and droughts are practical expectations. In dry regions, evapotranspiration, a lower level of water in lakes, rivers, groundwater and soil. Since Precipitation has declined in the tropics and subtropics, regions across the globe  such as Africa and the Southwest (U.S) are getting drier. Even wet areas can experience long dry conditions.

• The amount of land experiencing drought is going to increase by the mid century. In these regions, water supply is expected to decrease by 30%. Due to the Hadley effect that is, warm tropic air rises, and loses circulation due to tropical storms and descends in the sub tropics as dry air. As these Jet Streams continue to higher latitudes, and storm patterns shift with them, semi arid and desert areas will expand.
