Global Warming And Its Effects - 1544 Words

Global warming is one of the vigorously discussed topic on Earth today. According to a TechMedia Network, â€Å"Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate.† (â€Å"Global Warming †¦ Effects†). We have been witnessing the change in Earth’s climate since past few years, and we are well aware of the consequences of climate change as well. Global warming has managed to list itself as one of the biggest problem in the world, and according to the researchers and scientists, the ones promoting this problem are humans and their activities. Global warming is not listed as biggest problem of the world†¦show more content†¦Those radiated light is supposed to leave the Earth, but instead they are absorbed by the greenhouse gases, and radiated back to the surface of the Earth. This continu ous process of circulation of radiated heat within the Earth’s atmosphere causes the rise in the temperature of earth. (Global Climate Change: Causes.). This process can be referred as greenhouse effect. The greenhouse gases that traps the radiated heat include water vapor, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane, Nitrous oxide, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), etc. The presence of all these gases in the atmosphere is the main reason of the greenhouse effect, and it is what that causes global warming. (Global Climate Change: Causes.) Researchers and scientists say that the greenhouse effect is the main cause of global warming. The greenhouse effect is a natural process which is necessary to support life on Earth. It becomes a problem when the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases. The greenhouse effect is caused by the uncontrolled emission of harmful gases in the atmosphere. The harmful gases are emitted on a daily basis while carrying out major human activities. Some of the sources of harmful gases include power plants, industries, vehicles, fossil fuels, etc. (Global Climate Change: Causes.) We feel very proud of the advancement that we have gained in science and technology, and of all the wonderful inventions that helps the world daily. Although the
