Global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems that is mainly (concerned by) the government. In terms of addressing this problem‚ biofuels‚ which are a renewable energy produced from crops including corn‚ sugar cane and palm oil‚ are considered as a way to reduce carbon emissions. However‚ biofuels cannot solve this problem effectively due to their limitations which increase greenhouse gases emissions instead of reducing it and also cause deforestation. This essay will outline the

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is the ‘talk of the town’ in this century‚ with its detrimental effects already being brought to limelight by the recurring events of massive floods‚ annihilating droughts and ravaging cyclones throughout the globe. The average global temperatures are higher than they have ever been during the past millennium‚ and the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have crossed all previous records. A scrutiny of the past records of 100 years indicates that India figures in the first

of climate change on the future. That is another reason why I am interested about this topic. Definition of Climate Change According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards‚ attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”. Our Earth is warming. Over the past century‚ Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11

Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. This essay will examine the reasons why global warming is occurring and discuss some possible solutions. The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into
