How is it that a 1 degree increase in temperature on Earth is like 10 degrees to man..?
In the past century, the temperature of the Earth has risen about 1 degree Farenheit. Scientists, however, believe the rate of temperature increase will accelerate. Ice reflects sunlight, so as glaciers retreat, more heat gets absorbed by the Earth. The greenhouse gas layer will also grow from burning fossil fuels, thereby trapping more heat. It doesn’t sound like much, but relatively small fluctuations like that can have a significant impact over a wide surface. A 5 degree to 8 degree rise in global temperature in the next 100 years.
