The biggest threat to life on earth comes from global warming. Rich industrialised countries in the West have been burning fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil and gas for about 150 years‚ pumping out vast quantities of carbon dioxide. This gas traps the heat from the sun and causes the Earth and the atmosphere to get warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect. So why global warming is a problem? Well‚ high level of these greenhouse gases in the atmophere causes climate changes‚ which also lead to

Global Warming Causes Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket‚ trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal‚ oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations‚ carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere. Certain waste management and agricultural practices aggravate the problem by releasing other potent global warming gases‚ such as methane and nitrous

GLOBAL WARMING One of the most strongly debated topics on our earth is the issue of climate change. Global warming and climate change is refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) I. Effect There are two effects of global warming which is the environmental and social changes

Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect. What is greenhouse effect? It is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries etc cause GLOBAL WARMING. The effects of Global Warming is very dangerous for

Science Global warming There are many problems concerning the environment. Pollution‚ destruction of the rainforests‚ and the consumption of all of our planet’s natural resources are just a few. None of these issues quite compare to the problem of global warming. Global warming is a problem that affects not just some people‚ but everything and everyone. People must take action to stop global warming and must realize the severity of this problem before it is too late. The future

Global Warming Is having perfect hair and good enough reason to destroy the earth? The answer is definitely no. Research shows that humans are the primary cause of the rising temperatures and increasing sea levels over the century. Greenhouse gases are rising much more rapidly than expected and as a result the world is warming up as well. In the future‚ global warming will cause horrible effects such as heat waves‚ droughts‚ floods and storms. Due to these events some of the world’s poorest

Unimaginable Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes

Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. The Earth is in a warming period since the Ice Age. The warming periods called glacial periods cause the Earth to retrogress back to a cold ice age climate after a couple of years. This leads to the growing debate of today‚ Is global warming caused by humans? Or caused naturally? This is a controversial issue and debate today‚ however‚ global warming is not man-made‚ in fact‚ it is a normal and natural cycle for the Earth and the carbon
