Global Warming Today‚ global warming poses the greatest threat to humanity and our planet earth. Global warming is actually not a new phenomenon by any means. In fact‚ it started alongside with the industrial revolution centuries ago. Nonetheless‚ global warming has taken an ugly turn due to rapid ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases. For example‚ CO2 emissions reached 8.5 billion tons in 2008 and the average temperatures of the earth has risen by as mush as 0.2 degree Celsius

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)

OF GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere‚ especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate. The term global warming is synonymous with Enhanced green house effect‚ implying an increase in the amount of green house gases in the earth’s atmosphere‚ leading to entrapment of more and more solar radiations‚ and thus increasing the overall temperature of the earth.
