The Problem of Global Warming The problem of global warming‚ an increase in the average temperature on Earth‚ is getting worse. The Earth has warmed 0.3 to 0.6 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. Scientists believe that the cause is the greenhouse effect‚ the process of trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere because of the presence of large amounts of carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ methane‚ and nitrogen oxides. Less oxygen is being produced and cleaning the atmosphere allowing more

losing. It is worth mentioning that since past 420‚000 years‚ Earth’s atmospheric temperature is changing even before carbon dioxide emission by humans. There is no scientific evidence to back claims of man-made global warming period. Anyone who tells you that scientific research shows warming trends – be they teachers‚ newscasters‚ Congressmen‚ Senators‚ Vice Presidents or Presidents – is wrong. In fact‚ scientific research through U.S. government satellite shows that the earth’s atmospheric temperature

The hole – which grows each spring and then shrinks again each year – was among the 10 worst since records began 26 years ago. Colder-than-average temperatures in the stratosphere had caused the larger-than-average
