Climate Change/Global Warming:
What is the greenhouse effect?Radiation from the suns hits the earth and about half of the radiation is being absorbed by the earth's surface which warms it. The other half of the radiation is being reflected off and then gets absorbed by the greenhouse gasses, and then it hits the earth's surface again making the earth warmer.
Effects of Global Warming:
ACCORDING TO SCIPAD (PG241)
Weather Patterns:Global warming may lead to dramatic changes in regional and seasonal weather patterns. This may lead to more intense and more frequent storm events such as tropical cyclones.
Sea-level rise: Rising sea levels would flood coastal towns and communities. New Zealand's ports would be swamped. Coastal railway routes and roads would be flooded.
Agriculture:
Changes in climate may affect the viability of crops in some areas. Crops that are typically grown in the North Island may be able to be grown in the South Island.
