Global Warming Global warming is the rise in temperature (warming) of the entire planet and oceans. The rising temperatures affect our climates in such that droughts will happen more often‚ deserts will become bigger‚ heat waves will happen more often‚ and snow will lessen in areas. Also storms and hurricanes will happen more often. Global warming happens very slowly‚ the environment goes through natural periods of cooling and warming. Global warming causes changes in

out‚ similar to a greenhouse. Nitrous oxide is known to have a significant global climatologic impact as a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. After carbon dioxide and methane‚ nitrous oxide is the third most climatologically significant greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases act like a warming blanket in the troposphere and prevent radiative cooling. Nitrous oxide is a particularly potent greenhouse gas with 300 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide over 100 yr‚ according to the Intergovernmental

Global Warming Global warming is a huge environmental and economic challenge that we are facing in the 21st century. Global warming is also commonly referred to as the greenhouse effect. Global warming can affect entire ecosystems and climates‚ which in turn affect the way in which people live.

Climate change in the context of this paper refers to the changes that result from human activities‚ especially as these changes relate to the issue of global warming. If global warming is indeed happening‚ it is the greenhouse gas effect that is believed to be the most responsible. Today at the starting days of the 21st century‚ technology is the most pronouncing name all over the world. And this success
