Global Warming

Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of

the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its
projected continuation. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
concludes that most of the increase since the mid-twentieth century is "very
likely" due to the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.[3][2]
Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably
had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling
effect from 1950 onward.
Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was
first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. It is the process by
which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by atmospheric gases warm
a planet's lower atmosphere and surface. Existence of the greenhouse effect as
such is not disputed. The question is instead how the strength of the greenhouse
effect changes when human activity increases the atmospheric concentrations of
some greenhouse gases.
The scientific consensus is that the increase in atmospheric
greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming
observed since the start of the industrial era, and the observed
warming cannot be satisfactorily explained by natural causes alone. [16]
This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the
most detailed data are available.
Human activity since the industrial revolution has increased the
concentration of various greenhouse gases, leading to increased
radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and
nitrous oxide. The atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and methane
have increased by 31% and 149% respectively since the beginning of
the industrial revolution in the mid-1700s. These levels are
considerably higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the
period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. From
less direct geological evidence it is believed that CO 2 values this high
were last attained 20 million years ago. Fossil fuel burning has
produced approximately three-quarters of the increase in CO 2 from
human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to landuse change, in particular deforestation.
How can we prevent Global warming to occur?
I think all of us are aware of the Global Warming issues that once been
discussed Al-gore to us. According him, it is not too late to prevent global
warming. He once warns us about global warming issues but we didnt listen and
we just ignored what he said. So now that we can have the chance to prevent the
earth in global warming we should stop burning plastic materials because it
releases chemical that holes the earth that lets the ultraviolent rays to radiate in
us directly, that is also the reason why we are experiencing abnormality in
change in temperature. We should also stop buying or using too much chemicals.
