The output of the disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow," whose screenplay anchored on the theme of global warming has taken great liberties with science, but has reinforced these concerns. The effects of global warming are already being seen with, for example, the withdrawal of some glaciers, rising a few inches of sea level by thermal expansion of water as well as reduction in thickness of the Arctic polar cap.

The acceleration of the phenomenon in the twenty-first century should lead to stronger effects, especially a sharper increase in the mean sea level and extreme changes in weather, with key heat waves and periods of heavy rainfall. 3.

Politics According to a report by the Ministry of Higher Education research the consequences of global warming which are now known to be likely to amplify and extend may be burdensome for humanity.

Since the Rio Summit in 1992, there has been a call to governments for the international responsibility to save the planet.
