we should be aware about that..

Nur-E-Alam Siddique:
Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.

The main characteristics of climate change are:
•increases average global temperature global (in (warming);
•changes in cloud cover and precipitation particularly over land;
•melting of ice caps and glaciers and reduced snow cover and
•increases in ocean temperatures and ocean acidity –due to seawater absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

As for an example, let's see .....Sidr damage to our economy:

Total damage including indirect loss: $1.67 billion
of which:
Housing damage and loss: $839 million (50%)
Agricultural damage and loss: $438 million (26%)
Transport -related damage and loss: $141 million (8.4%)
Water resource  control related damage and loss:$71 million (4.3%)
Education infrastructure related damage and loss: $ 69million
