 Essay on global warming.
Global warming is the rise in temperature around the globe. This means
especially over the last century, there has been a considerable increase in the
planetary temperature.
planetary temperature. As a consequence of a major phenomenon, climate change.
Indeed, experts on the subject prefer to use the term climate change rather than
warming.
rather than warming. For, as will be seen, the consequences of all this accumulation
of phenomena produce more than just the
of phenomena produce more than just an increase in temperature.
The great changes throughout history were the result of isolated processes,
such as the fall of the meteorite that extinguished the dinosaurs.
A few days ago, a temperature of 54 degrees Celsius was recorded in a village in
Iran. It would be one of the highest temperatures ever recorded in history. Is it a
consequence of climate change?
of climate change? It may take some time to confirm, but if so, governments should
take action to address the possible consequences of climate change.

continues to rise.

Global warming is happening now. The planet's temperature is rising.
rising. The trend is clear and unmistakable.
These last 40 years it has been warmer than the 20th century average. 2016 was
the warmest year on record. The 12 warmest years in history have occurred since
1998.
occurred since 1998.
Globally, the average surface temperature has increased by more than one degree
Fahrenheit since the late 1800s. Most of that increase has occurred in the last three
decades alone.
the last three decades alone.
We are the cause. We are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide,
which traps heat and steadily increases the planet's temperature. Where is all this
carbon coming from?
all this carbon come from? The fossil fuels we burn for energy - coal, natural gas and
oil - in addition to the loss of energy,
natural gas and oil - plus the loss of forests due to deforestation, especially in the
tropics,
especially in the tropics.
The scientific evidence is clear. Within the scientific community, there is no debate.
An overwhelming majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is occurring
and that global warming is
and that human activity is the main cause.
Unless we take immediate action to reduce global warming emissions, these impacts
will continue to intensify.
