global warming

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the earth’s oceans and atmosphere or in the other words the earth is getting warmer.

Can you feel that the earth is getting hotter? Research shows that for one thousand years before 1800, the earth’s temperature remained stable, yet in just 200 years it has increased 1 degree Celsius. The increase might seem very significant, but the effect cannot be taken lightly.

The increase has been predicted that it will continue. Furthermore, it can cause and, to some extent, has caused the arctic and antarctic ice to melt, which in turn causes floods to low-lying areas. Have you noticed that everywhere in the world there have been more and more extreme weather events such as storms, hurricanes, long drought and very bad winter? But that’s not all. Warmer temperatures can also lead to the extinction of certain species. For example, a good number of the already endangered lions in Africa have died during the long droughts. Moreover, if the arctic ice keeps melting, soon polar bears will lose their habitat and die out.

Do you know what has caused the global temperatures to increase? Yes, the main is because of greenhouse effect. And do you know that if you throw the trash not in the right place it can impact with the global warming too? Yess, the pile of the trash which is not managed well will produce methane gases. As we know that methane is one of the gases of greenhouse.
