The phenomenon of global warming if continued unchecked will have profound implications.
One of the main effects of global warming will be the rise in sea and ocean levels. Currently, this is already occurring around us. Melting of glaciers and polar ice caps will contribute to the rise in water levels all over the world. Apart from this, fresh water sources will also reduce. According to scientific bodies like NASA, other consequences of global warming are ocean acidification, extreme weather events and other natural and social impacts.
