How Global Warming Relates to Math

Global warming relates to math in a few ways. For instance, temperatures world wide are increasing greatly. The Earth ,on average, has increased by .9 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, the sea level is rising and will continue to rise if global warming continues. In addition, global warming increases natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunami's. These horrific tragedies tear through many innocent peoples lives, destroy their homes, and takes away some of their store of fresh water and food. In order to repair all these results of global warming, the world will have to give a lot of money to get building teams to fix homes and pay for food and water. These disasters will only continue to get worse if nothing is done to stop global warming.
