Unimaginable Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes

Global Warming and Climate Change: Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. What are the main indicators of Climate Change? As explained by the US agency

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. This is a big problem

Global Warming So are we digging our own grave ? So what is global warming ? Earth is naturally insulated by the delicate balance of heat-trapping which is also called Green House gasses in the atmosphere. When the sun shines on the earth a part of that heat is absorbed‚ Keeping the Earth warm enough for us humans to live on ! But what went wrong ? Over the last centuary‚ we humans have been releasing more and more carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gasses into our atmosphere when we burn
