of climate change on the future. That is another reason why I am interested about this topic. Definition of Climate Change According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards‚ attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”. Our Earth is warming. Over the past century‚ Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11

Global warming is caused primarily by carbon dioxide from burning coal‚ oil and gas. Certain gases that trap heat are building up in Earth’s atmosphere. The primary culprit is carbon dioxide‚ released from burning coal‚ oil and natural gas in power plants‚ cars‚ factories‚ etc. (and to a lesser extent when forests are cleared). The second is methane‚ released from rice paddies‚ both ends of cows‚ rotting garbage in landfills‚ mining operations‚ and gas pipelines. Third are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

1) What is global warming? (History) Definition: Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. Common sense:Glaciers are melting‚ sea levels are rising‚ cloud forests are drying‚ and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It’s becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century’s warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases‚ their levels are higher now than
