Cuases and Effects of Global Warming on World Economy
Some of the natural phenomenons, such as solar radiation and the cyclical change in the atmosphere of the earth, have significantly caused the climate change. Since the solar energy is the basic source of the earth climate system, it is believed that the sudden change of solar radiation output attributable to solar activities such as sunspot and solar storm, may affects global climate in a short period (Natural Causes of Global Warming, 2010). In another aspect, the position of the earth relative to the sun also varies slightly in the climate change. To some extent, the periodic movement of the earth can increase the radiation receipt at high northern latitudes especially during the summer time, which is regarded as one of the causations of the going-up temperature (Easterling and Karl, 2008).
While the natural causes take a hand in heating up the earth, the impact of human activities is undoubtly the major cause of climate change. With a concentration on the greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, it is primarily produced by fossil fuels combustion, deforestation and waste diaposal. This type of gases is constantly trapping the heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Because of the industrialisation, the level of carbon dioxide is 100 parts per million...
