New study reports that as greenhouse gases rise and warm the planet, the ice in Antarctica is to become more vulnerable to astronomical cycles. With CO2 going beyond 400 parts per million (ppm), Earth’s climate becomes more sensitive to its tilt, as it spins around its axis. It may not seem much, but over a 30 million years, this only happened when CO2 levels peaked to what research predicts for the end of the century.

- By 2099, beer prices may skyrocket by 656 percent, due to the influence of global warming on barley crops. As the grain is primarily used for livestock feeding, the diminishing of crops during the coming years – with drought and extreme heat as protagonists – will drive barley-growing countries to take a decision, as to how much of the harvest will be allocated to the beer industry.

- Currently, greenhouse gas emissions are still rising, a team of scientists from Stanford University, within the Global Carbon Project found out. A 2010 NASA study confirms that Earth’s average surface temperature rose by 0.8 degrees Celsius over the last century. The Arctic is exhibiting record melting levels. And Greenland alone contributes to ocean rise by a millimeter per year.
- According to the extensive review, people have an increased risk of death, due to Global Warming. Violence and suicide are some of the effects, while extreme heat can cause sleep loss and kidney stones. Disease outbreaks and the inappropriate delivery of health care are even worse. Allergic people will be affected by the increased length of the pollen season, due to the increase of CO2 levels and temperatures.
