in recent decades warn that the ocean's ability to receive global warming is not infinite and that the poles have started to show signs of deterioration, causing melting and desalination of sea. The major cause of global warming is the greenhouse effect, which occurs due to different elements that when combined cause it. Because of inappropriate use of some of our natural resources that disaster occurs.

 Global

warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.

 One

of the things that contributes to global warming is the greenhouse effect. fossil fuel like: coal, oil, natural gas, etc. This combustion produces carbon dioxide.

 The

gases that remain in the atmosphere create a layer below this which does not leave out the heat produced by sunlight falling to the ground. These rays produce heat, light, energy, etc. we have every day. The heat does not escape is what causes the so-called global warming which is causing the poles to melt.

 These

cold spots on the planet act as a temperature controller on the ground without a regulator in this cold land. Without this cold regulator, heat will become more intense.

 The

salt water helps control the flow of air. In addition to melting icecaps greenhouse gases cause pollution of sea water as the waves enter the oxygen at sea, which is contaminated by gases . The sea water pollution affecting marine species and in turn to us to consume.

Illustration that shows the global ocean circulation. Along the Atlantic Ocean circulation carries warm waters (red arrows) to the north, near the surface and deep cold water (blue arrows) to the south.

 Another

major concern is the rising sea level. Thanks to global warming sea level is rising between 1 and 2 cm per decade. Some Pacific Ocean island like Tuvalu are working on details for their evacuation. Global warming leads to sea level rise because of the sea water expands when heated, also produces an increase of liquid water from the polar caps.

 It

is expected that sea level will rise between 9 and 99 centimeters between 1990 and 2100, and if all the ice in Antarctica melted, sea level would rise 125 meters. With an increase of only 6 meters would be enough to flood London and New York. This is due to thermal expansion and loss of mass from glaciers and ice caps.

 Sea

level rise, bury vast islands and coastal areas worldwide.

 Floods

caused by increased rainfall in areas where it did not rain too.

 Tropics

began to take soil depletion due to increased periods of drought, so the cover will be lost and erode the soil.

 Loss

of plants and animals species in all ecosystems, cause for the change in weather patterns.

 Increase

of the phenomenon "heat island" in urban areas (up to 6 C over average temperature).

 Increased

tropical diseases (dengue, cholera, etc.), as transmitting agencies may achieve higher latitudes.

 Water

shortages, could cause war between nations.

 Food

shortages, and therefore problems of global hunger.

 Changes

in atmospheric circulation patterns and sea around the world to offset the excess CO2 from the atmosphere. The ocean is a major sink for this gas, which is supplied by the atmosphere.

 Increase

hurricanes and other natural disasters.

 Tsunamis

can be caused by a glacier that falls

off.
