One of the most immediate and obvious effects of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

More intense rains and hurricanes and rising sea levels will lead to more severe flooding and potential loss of property and life. One inevitable consequence of global warming is sea-level rise.
