Global warming is just another sign that Earth is really in danger. Because of global warming we now have extreme weathers. When it is raining it will rain really heavy and you will feel the intense coldness, while when there is no rain the Sun's heat is definitely burning and it is extremely hot. I do not know whether there are good effects of the global warming but one thing is for sure, there are a lot of bad effects that it caused in our present time.We couldn't blame global warming though, because we people are the one who are responsible for destroying our nature. Here in the Philippines extreme typhoons are now always forming in the Pacific Ocean. The last notable one was Haiyan (international name) or Yolanda (local name). This typhoon almost destroyed an island here in the Philippines and caused billions of damage properties and killed many lives.
