Introduction to Global Warming
1. Trees are going to burn?
2. The Earth is going to boil?
3. There will be Hurricanes everywhere?
4. There will be snow in Gulf countries?
5. The arctic and the Antarctica will disappear in 25 years?
What is Global Warming?
Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent.
What Causes Global Warming?
Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to create the green effect that keeps the Earth warm enough to support life, human use of fossil fuels is the main source of excees greenhouse gases. By driving cars, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. Deforestation is another significant source of greenhouse gases, because fewer trees mean less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen.
This subject will be a real problem in the future if there will be no actions against man-made causes.
