    challenges earth is facing is Global Warming. The global warming hypothesis orginated in 1896 when Svante Arrhenius‚ a Swedish chemist‚ developed the theory that carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels would cause global temperatures to rise by trapping excess heat in the earth’s atmosphere.  The term “Global Warming” signifies the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. The change in climatic conditions is one of the impacts of global warming. It is directly impacting on rising

    Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes‚ "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas

    Global warming is caused primarily by carbon dioxide from burning coal‚ oil and gas. Certain gases that trap heat are building up in Earth’s atmosphere. The primary culprit is carbon dioxide‚ released from burning coal‚ oil and natural gas in power plants‚ cars‚ factories‚ etc. (and to a lesser extent when forests are cleared). The second is methane‚ released from rice paddies‚ both ends of cows‚ rotting garbage in landfills‚ mining operations‚ and gas pipelines. Third are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
