Global warming reasons and causes

The gas that traps heat in the atmosphere ,by absorbing radiation in wavelengths similar to
those emitted by the earth,which prevents excessive loss of terrestrial radiation and
accompanying heat loss,and leads to global warming.The most important gases which trap
heat are water vapour,carbon dioxide,methane, nitrous oxide,and Chlorofuorocarbons
(CFCs).Others include methyl chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. Burning of fossil fuels is
the main source of these gases.

Global warming can change the climate in a number of ways.Cold seasons are likely to
become shorter and warm ones to become longer.Northern latitudes are likely to have
wetter autumns and winters, and drier springs and summers.There would be more rainfall in
the tropics and subtropical areas could become drier.It can cause shift in the main climate
zones around the world.Also can bring a rise in the frequency and intensity of floods,
droughts,typhoons, tornadoes and hurricanes in many areas.This can aggravate the losses
and hardships caused by sea level rise.
