Now im asking this here.
Please Help Me .
i need to write this essay as fast as possible.
All the points i got are here.
now i know most of u wont read the essay at all.
but please do help by telling me some points on 'Climate Changes Affecting Us'.
You can tell me what to re-write.
Please revise the essay if u can. please.
P.S. - this is NOT the actual essay. Its just an overview of all the points. i'm gonna arrange all these points in a proper essay afterwards.
Please do help.
Please.
Please.

Climate Changes Affecting Us
Scientists predict that the world's average temperatures will rise from between 1C and 5C in the next century as a result of damaging greenhouse gas emissions.
The prospect: more severe storms and floods, more droughts and more deserts.
Scientists say Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro has lost 85% of its ice cap over the past 100 years and Britain's chief scientific advisor David King says, "Africa is the most vulnerable continent to climate change".
Well, because of global warming the temperature is increasing which is causing Antarctica to melt which leads to sea levels rising about 100m. Even if Antarctica doesn't melt, water is expanding causing coastlines to flood. Eventually the earth will not have coastlines to flood because the land will be gone.
Our climate is warming, in large part due to human production of greenhouse gases, and as a consequence, the environment is changing. We are expecting and already seeing: sea levels rising, weather shifting, ice melting, wildlife migrating, rain and drought patterns changing. We fear: migration of diseases, battles over changing resources, and increases in weather-related calamities.
The imminent climate consequences of human actions will have a relatively small effect on U.S. residents.
It's ironic: We produce a disproportionate amount of greenhouse gases, but the bulk of negative impacts will fall on the developing world, where more people rely directly on natural resources for subsistence and income, where the physical infrastructure is often inadequate and thus unnecessarily at risk from phenomena such as hurricanes, and where many governments cannot afford protective measures. Our relative wealth also provides a bulwark, sometimes literally.
Our motivation to care about climate change is limited only by our capacity to care for others. Supposing, you're living in Michigan. Your weather might get a bit strange, but rising sea levels won't wash away your house. You probably aren't a farmer, so you won't have to worry about your crops. You'll still be able to buy food and pay for heat.
It is highly unlikely that in the future, polar bears would move to land in response to reduced sea ice, although a few might: it is far more likely that most bears would stay out on the sea ice that lies well offshore - as in the past, bears will die on the ice or at sea, leaving no evidence of their existence.
Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil, coal and gas, with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth's atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that stays trapped in the atmosphere causes the global temperature to increase. Globally, average temperatures are expected to increase between 1.5 to 6.1 degrees Celsius in the next hundred years.
Climate change will have significant impacts on the global temperature such as an increase in temperature, change in weather patterns and sea-level rise. Sea-level is expected to rise 95 cm by the year 2100, with large local differences due to tides, wind and atmospheric pressure patterns, changes in ocean circulation, vertical movements of continents etc; the most likely value is in the range from 38 to 55 cm. The relative change of sea and land is the main factor: some areas may experience sea level drop in cases where land is rising faster than sea level.
Indirect factors are generally listed as the main difficulties associated with sea-level rise.
Pleaseeee Helpp me. Please please please.

Just read a litte part of the essay and revise it if you can. please please please!
