Sweden in 100 years, with climate changes.

Everybody knows how the greenhouse effect has a bad influence on the environment. But how much does it affect our environment? What will happen if we don’t do anything about the greenhouse effect? A raised temperature, raised sea level, less snow and more rain. That’s what’s predicted to happen if we don’t do anything about the greenhouse effect.

The greenhouse effect, that we humans have created, is caused by pollution from cars and factories. It’s this enhanced greenhouse effect that causes the world problems. Problems that we have to do something about before it are too late. But that happens if we don’t do anything about it? Let’s focus on Sweden.
In 100 years we can almost forget the thought of getting a white winter. Do to the temperature rising it’s going to be almost to warm for snow. Instead there’s going to rain. The rainfall is going to increase with 30%
Even the summers are going to get warmer. The scientists think that the seasons will be altered. Spring’s estimated to come earlier and fall later.
When it comes to temperature, we can expect an increase on between 0, 6 °C and 6°C. That increase isn’t only for Sweden, but the whole world. Sweden is still going to be cool and norrland is probably going to become a popular destination to central Europeans that wants to cool down.
With more warmth come more deceases. Tics are going to thrive even in norrland and if the temperature rise is high even malaria-carrying mosquitoes are going to like it here.
Do to the temperature rise, the inland ices are going to melt and pour out in to the ocean. This will result in that the sea level is going to rise with about 50 centimetres. This is going to have an impact on southern parts of Sweden, like Skåne. Some of Sweden’s nuclear power plants are located in southern Skåne and if the sea level rises much they are going to become flooded.
According to the scientists, this enhanced greenhouse effect will have much effect on the weather. Extreme weather’s, like tornados and such, are going to become more common.
Happenings like this show how vulnerable the world really is. There for we have to fight to stop these consequences from happening. There isn’t anyone who what’s these things to happen, that’s pretty sure. So now, help to save the environment in all the ways you can!
