Some politicians agree‚ but many lack the political will to press for urgent changes. Many scientists believe it is already too late to stop a 2 degree Celsius rise in temperature. Already there have been changes. Extreme weather events are becoming more common. Heat waves have been happening. Famine is worsening in Africa

Global Warming-Killing Earth’s Age Global Warming is defined as the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s Atmosphere. Since 1970‚ most of the increase has been in the oceans‚ which is about 90%. Global Warming also refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth’s surface. Since the year 2000‚ the surface temperature has increased about 0.8 0 C‚ which is about two third of the increase‚ when compared to 1980. Earth is getting warmer and warmer when days pass by. The main cause for

What Is Global Warming ? Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation‚ which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. Earth’s climate is mostly influenced by the first 6 miles or so of the atmosphere which contains most of the matter making up the atmosphere. This is really a very thin layer if you think about it.
