Baumgartner Earth’s climate constantly changes‚ and many scientists believe that the temperature rises we see in this decade are a natural phenomenon that occurs every so many years. Around 25‚000 years ago‚ it is believed that earth was covered by large areas of ice. And then‚ about 7‚000 years ago‚ temperatures began to rise and the "Ice Age" came to an end.

many of which we are just discovering today. The most important problem started by the industrial revolution is a significant increase in Carbon Dioxide emission‚ which leads to global warming. Globe warming brings about various natural disasters. The most significant disaster is the rising of sea level. Global warming increases the melting of the polar ice caps‚ which brings about a rise in sea level. As sea level rises‚ islands near sea level sink into the sea. Residents on these islands lose

Introduction Nowadays‚ Global warming is an incontrovertible fact‚ which proves that our planet and its climate are in trouble. Well global warming is a term that denotes a slow warming of the earth’s regular temperature. It was also named exclusively man-made effects‚ in particular carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has largely increased during the past forty years‚ and scientists concluded that the average earth temperature has increased solely based on man-made activities such
