Possible effects of continuous Global Warming

Global Warming has many various effects towards humans. It can cause the earth's temperature to increase over time and can change the earth's climatic system.
 
If we do not take action to prevent Global Warming, the earth's climate will be mixed up. It means that we could have hot temperatures during winter because Global Warming increases earth's temperature. In the other hand, Global Warming can melt the ice in the polar regions, such as Antartica (South Pole) and also in the Arctic region (North Pole). If those ice melt because of Global Warming, we will have the increase in the water level for oceans that could cause small island to be flooded with ocean water.
 
Global Warming also can harm humans because once the ozone layer (a layer in the atmosphere to block UV rays from the sun) breaks, then the UV rays from the sun can reach the earth. At certain amount, humans will be affected by the UV rays and over the years, the risk of having skin cancer will increase among humans.
