What is Global Warming? What is Global Warming? Lesson Objectives: • To understand what is meant by ‘global warming’ • To know what we think causes global warming. • To begin to understand how our activities can cause climate change. The sun sends out energy as heat and light. This energy comes to our earth during the day time. Some of the sun’s rays get ‘trapped’ in the atmosphere. Some of them get reflected back into space. The ones which get through the atmosphere warm the earth up. All

Global warming Global warming is the most concerning problem of our time. Global warming is the process in which the Earth’s temperature starts increasing; it is caused mostly by human activities‚ especially industrialization‚ and pollution that are killing the Earth by emitting greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. But this reason is not the only reason why we have to stop global warming. Firstly‚ IPCC projects that the world’s temperatures will rise 1.8-6 degrees Celsius by the century’s end –

Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. It is already affecting the world as we know it; endangering polar bears‚ shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere‚ hence increasing the average temperature of the earth. Scientists have stated that the average temperature will likely rise a further 1 to 6 °C still during the 21st century. Global warming is causing numerous problems
