Effect of global warming :
1. For a `1^(@)C` rise in temperature, the ice caps of polar regions melt and level of the sea water increases. Thereby many coastal countries get submerged.
2. Due to global warming, the rate of evaporation of water from the seas, rivers, ponds will increase. This leads to unwarranted rains, cyclones and hurricanes.
