Global warming is caused primarily by carbon dioxide from burning coal‚ oil and gas. Certain gases that trap heat are building up in Earth’s atmosphere. The primary culprit is carbon dioxide‚ released from burning coal‚ oil and natural gas in power plants‚ cars‚ factories‚ etc. (and to a lesser extent when forests are cleared). The second is methane‚ released from rice paddies‚ both ends of cows‚ rotting garbage in landfills‚ mining operations‚ and gas pipelines. Third are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

With infrastructural development progressing at a rapid rate‚ some harmful chemicals that are produced from science and technological equipment are disposed in the environment. Due to the subsequent increase in the amount of these chemicals in the atmosphere‚ the Ozone layer that prevents harmful particles from entering into the earth atmosphere gets

Global warming There are already many natural disasters‚ for example earthquakes in Mexico or floods in Pakistan‚ probably the first effects caused by global warming. But that is just the beginning; the number of natural disasters will increase in the future. In my speech I tell you something about global warming and what we can do to prevent it. At first I define the term “global warming”: It is the change of the climate caused by the people for example the destruction of the ozone layer and the

"Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. B. The average global air temperature near Earth’s surface has risen about 0.74 °Celsius (1.3 °Fahrenheit) in the last century C. Models of global warming referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures are likely

Global warming is a topic that people all over the world have very strong feelings about. Many tests and research have been done‚ and we now know more than ever about it.. As our technology increases‚ we have a better chance of understanding this strange thing that is happening to our planet. But is global warming a natural process or is it caused by humans? Could it be blamed on our naive knowledge of the planet and how delicate it really is‚ or could it just be that the planet goes through this

Global warming is the increase in average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans over time. Most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities‚ especially the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide gas. In recent years‚ extreme heat waves caused more than 20000 deaths in Europe. Also‚ melting icebergs and rising sea levels are observed. Global warming is a crucial problem in the world‚ it may lead to disastrous consequences such as extinction
