Global Warming (Report Paper)
SUMMARY
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. It happens when high level of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are trapped in the atmosphere causing a rise in temperature. Although the idea that global warming is similar to climate change, there are still some distinctions with these two concepts. As mentioned earlier, there is a shift from low temperature to high temperature caused mainly by gases when we speak of global warming. While in climate change, there is a regional long-term change in the characteristics of the climate including the temperature, humidity, rainfall and severe weather occurrence. Example of which are El Nino and La Nina which are very common here in the Philippines. The connection between this two is that global warming causes climate change. To put it in other words, global warming is a type of climate change.
The major activity of men which is responsible for global warming is the burning of fossil fuels by factories creating harmful gases that are trapped in the atmosphere. As a result based in the documentary I have watched, corals reefs which are homes of some aquatic animals are dying as the ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide making them more acidic. In Africa, the annual migration of over a million animals is on a threat as drought decimate on the grassland they feed on. The near 1 degree rise on average temperature is killing the trees in Canada turning their leaves red. The arctic region is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world. Last 2007, large arctic glaciers broke up and melted causing higher sea levels. Most places already experienced extreme fire because of too high temperature destroying millions of properties of the people. Other destructive effects of global warming are hurricane destruction, cyclones, catastrophic flooding, tsunami and the like. But the worst effect one could imagine is death. Over a billion of people have died because of
