Explain Global warming

Global warming can be defined as the unusually rapid increase in Earth's average surface
temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released by
people burning fossil fuels. These greenhouse gases that are slowly destroying the Earth
include, Carbon dioxide, Methane, etc. Some distinct changes in the climate we see that
suggest that it is changing and is an alarming issue towards which maximum focus is
needed are:

1.Rising Sea Levels

2.Melting Ice

3.Changing Ecosystems, etc.

There is an active debate and discussion going on between the scientists that climate
change is occurring and is caused by human activity but the result has been in
disagreement.

An article prepared to accompany a petition urging the US not to sign global climate
accords reviews each of the main contentions of climate change scientists view and presents
data suggesting that each is wrong.

The authors of the article cite data, for example, that suggests that the earth’s temperature
today is essentially at the 3,000-year average global temperature, while during the Medieval
period, long before the use of fossil fuels, temperatures were 24⁰ C higher.

In a similar vein, they cite data to suggest that glacier shortening began in the early 19th
century, 25 years before the start of intensive fossil fuel use.

Today, the problem is not that too little sun warmth is reaching the earth, but that too much
is being trapped in our atmosphere.

So much heat is being kept inside greenhouse earth that the temperature of the earth is
going up faster than at any previous time in history.

But a lot of evidence suggests, that scientists have now just stopped focusing on global
warming alone, but shifting their focus on larger man-made issues that are causing climate
changes.
