F. READING
The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human
lifestyle practices. However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of
the greenhouse effect.
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for
agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not
balance with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by
such climatic changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits.
The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of increased tension
between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all CO2
emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world.
For example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable
and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a
tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases.
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where
will these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen the
already critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through floods,
droughts, crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars and civil
disorder in many countries.
