Global Warming and its Effects What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. However‚ global warming has its causes and it also has its effects on humans‚ and animals.

Today’s modern world has led to the biggest problem faced in history: global warming. Today’s fast-growing industrialized economy is causing serious environmental issues such as extinction of much of the life on this planet‚ temperature changes‚ and sea level rise. One simple way of reducing the effects of global warming is changing our way of living. One benefit of reducing the industrialized economy of today is that natural habitats will last longer.
