What Is Global Warming?
What is global warming?
Global warming is the
average temperature of Earth
has increases since 1950 until
now the temperature
continuing increasing. Global
warming can also refers to
climate change that causes an
increase in the average of
temperature. However global
warming are causes by natural
events and human that are
believed to be contribute to
increase in average
Causes of Global Warming
Global warming is a serious issue and is
not a single issue but a number of
environmental issues. Global warming is a
rise in the surface temperature of the earth
that has changed various life forms on the
earth. The issues that cause global
warming are divided into two categories
include "natural" and "human influences"
of global warming.
Natural Causes of Global
Warming
The climate has continuously changing for centuries. The
global warming happens because the natural rotation of the
sun that changes the intensity of sunlight and moving closer
to the earth.
Another cause of global warming is greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases are carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide
it trap the solar heats rays and prevent it from escaping from
the surface of the earth. This has cause the temperature of
the earth increase.
Human Influences on Global
Warming
The earth has been changing for many
years until now it is still changing
because of modern lifestyle of human.
Human activities include industrial
production, burning fossil fuel, mining,
cattle rearing or deforestation.
First issue is industrial revolution.
Industrial have been using fossil fuels
for power machines. Everything that we
use is involved in fossil fuel. For
example, when we buy a mobile phone,
the process of making mobile phone
have involve machines and machines
uses fossil fuels, during the process
carbon dioxide is releasing to the
atmosphere.
The Effect of Global Warming
The greenhouse gases will stay in the atmosphere for many years
since hundreds years ago. However, the effect that global warming
will cause on earth are extremely serious. There are many effects
that will happen in the future if global warming continues. That
includes polar ice caps melting, economic consequences, warmer
waters and more hurricanes, spread of diseases and earthquake
First effect is polar ice caps melting. As the temperature increase,
the ice at the North Pole will melt. Once the ice melt the first effect
will be raise on sea levels because the melting glaciers become
oceans. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center "if the
ice melted today the seas would rise about 230 feet". It affects many
low lying areas such as the Netherlands. In future, the Netherlands
will be cover by water once the North Pole is melted
The yellow represents warming, melting glaciers, flooding and rising of sea level.
The red represents the spread of disease, earlier springs, plant and animal shifts
and population changes, coral reef bleaching, downpours, heavy snowfalls,
and flooding, droughts and fires.
Where Has It Been Happening
This is where temperatures have risen in the world.
What’s Happening
Scientists say that the barrier
insulating the continental ice
caps is melting.
“The impacts of warming
temperatures in Antarctica
are likely to occur first in the
northern sections of the
continent, where summer
temperatures approach the
melting point of water, 32
degrees F (0 degrees C).”
What’s Happening
As the ice melts, big chunks
of glaciers will break off and
become like ice cubes in a big
glass of water. The ice
chunks, known as icebergs,
create mass in the ocean. The
icebergs displace the water
causing the ocean level to
rise. Some of the shoreline in
many places like Florida
(where the land is at a low
altitude) will go under water.
What Will Happen
“Rising global temperatures are
expected to raise sea level, and
change precipitation and other
local climate conditions.
Changing regional climate could
alter forests, crop yields, and
water supplies. It could also
affect human health, animals,
and many types of ecosystems.
Deserts may expand into
existing rangelands, and
features of some of our national
parks may be permanently
altered.”
Conclusion
Global warming is affecting plants, animals, humans and the
earth. We need to learn how to conserve our use of fossil
fuels to minimize carbon dioxide production. This will slow
down the effects of global warming.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Global
Warming is a serious
problem that it would
reduce if people started
from now being conscious
about what is happening in
the world and the
consequences of our
actions.
HOW TO STOP GLOBAL
WARMING
We cannot wait for
governments to find
a solution for this
problem, each person
can bring important
help by adopting a
responsible lifestyle,
starting from little
daily things.
Recycle
Here are 10 simple actions you can take
to help reduce global warming.
2.-Use Less Heat and Air
Conditioning
1.-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
