Global Warming

Global Warming is caused by human pollution; Nowadays our environment becomes different from the past, now the world is becoming dangerously warmer due to the human pollution of greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and deforestation, which it traps heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. “These are the Top 10 Global Warming Effects and Causes: (1) Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants; our over increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 40% of U.S CO2 emissions come from electricity production, and burning coal accounts for 93% of emissions from the electricity utility industry. Every day, more electric gadgets flood the market, and without widespread alternative energy sources, we are highly dependent on burning coal for our personal and commercial electrical supply. (2) Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline for transportation; Our modern car culture and appetite for globally sourced goods is responsible for about 33% of emissions in the U.S. with our population growing at an alarming rate, the demand for more cars and consumer goods means that we are increasing the use of fossil fuels for transportation and manufacturing our consumption is outpacing our discoveries of ways to mitigate the effects, with no end in sight to our massive consumer culture. (3) Methane emissions from animals, agriculture such as rice paddies, and from Arctic seabed; Methane is another extremely potent greenhouse gas, ranking right behind CO2. When organic matter is broken down by bacteria under oxygen-starved conditions as in rice paddies, methane is produced. The process also takes place in the intestines of herbivorous animals, and with the increase in the amount of livestock production, the levels of methane released into the atmosphere is increasing. As methane escapes from the Arctic Seabed, the rate of global warming will
