Global Warming Recently‚ there have been many problems with hurricanes‚ heat waves‚ and floods. What could perchance be causing all of this? One of the main reasons there has been so many natural disasters and complications is global warming. Global warming is the rising average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect consumes greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere which causes the heating of the earth and very high temperatures and

Global warming is the increase of Earth’s surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The main causes of global warming is the greenhouse effect‚ fossil fuels in cars‚ and global emission. Global warming is having an effect on our environment such as rising seas‚ changes in rainfall patterns‚ and etc. What we can do to stop this is‚ lower down emissions‚ cut greenhouse gases and so on. This paper will focus on what global warming is doing to our environment. The greenhouse effect
