CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is the phenomenon of a gradual increase in


the temperature near the earth’s surface. This phenomenon has been
observed over the past one or two centuries. This change has
disturbed the climatic pattern of the earth. There are several causes
of global warming and its effect on our lives, and we need to
understand the negative impacts of global warming.
Deforestation and the use of vehicles. Plants are the main
source of oxygen. They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen
thereby maintaining environmental balance. Forests are being
depleted for many domestic and commercial purposes. This led to
an environmental imbalance. The use of vehicles, even for a very
short distance results in various gaseous emissions. Vehicles burn
fossil fuels which emit a large amount of carbon dioxide and other
toxins into the atmosphere resulting in a temperature increase.
Besides the man-made causes of global warming, there are
some natural causes of global warming such as volcanoes and
melting permafrost. Volcanoes are one of the largest natural
contributors to global warming. The ash and smoke emitted during
volcanic eruptions goes out into the atmosphere and affect the clime.
The effects of global warming effects on our lives are deeply
huge. Global warming has led to an incredible increase in the earth’s
temperature. Sin 1880, the earth’s temperature has increased by ~1
degree. This has resulted in an increase in the melting of glaciers,
which has led to an increase in the sea level. This could have
devastating effects on coastal regions. Global warming has affected
the coral reefs which can lead to the loss of plants and animals’
lives. An increase in global warming temperature has made the
fragility of coral reefs even worse and it has led to a change in
climatic conditions. There are droughts in some places and floods in
some. This climatic imbalance is the result of global warming.
Deforestation by humans and natural causes are the main
reason that cause of global warming has a great impact on our lives,
the ecosystem, and the loss of natural habitat. It can be reduced by
increasing biofuel production from organic waste, use of renewable
energy like solar and wind power, safeguarding forests, and
improving energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy.
