Definition of global warming and natural disasters Global warming is when the earth heats up or the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases 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. Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. It makes the sea rise‚ and when the sea rises‚ the water covers many low land islands.

Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. It is‚ in fact‚ the increase in the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. It is one of the most current and widely discussed factors. It has far-reaching impact on biodiversity and climatic conditions of the planet. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on rising sea levels‚ the melting of ice caps and significant worldwide climate changes. In short‚ global warming represents a fundamental

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
