What is Global Warming?
In the recent years we are coming across the word "Global Warming" often through the media , news papers and also through internet too. what does this word "global warming " mean?. Global Warming is nothing but the unexpected (or) the abrupt (or) the sudden changes that occur in the average weather conditions that were constant for a longer period of time .
In the recent years we are coming across the word "Global Warming" often through the media , news papers and also through internet too. what does this word "global warming " mean?. Global Warming is nothing but the unexpected (or) the abrupt (or) the sudden changes that occur in the average weather conditions that were constant for a longer period of time .
What are the impacts of Global Warming?
Because of the global warming the other aspects of the climatic condition also changes such as the atmospheric circulation such as the intensity of the cyclones , the hurricanes becoming stronger year after year. Global warming also causes the "Thermal Expansion" which results in the sudden rising of the sea levels because the warmer water takes up more room than the colder water. Because of the sudden rise in the sea level water enters into the low-lying areas , damages the properties of the coastal population, erodes the shorelines and destroys the ecosystems such as "mangroves" and "wetlands" that protect the coasts against storms. The recent researches say that the sea level has risen between four inches and eight inches in the past hundred years and it could further rise between four and thirty six inches in the next hundred years.
What are the causes of Global Warming?
Global warming is caused by the emission of harmful heat trapping gases from the vehicles, power plants, industrial processes and also deforestation. One of the main reason for global warming is the "Greenhouse Effect". Greenhouse effect is nothing but the rise in temperature that our earth experiences because of the presence of some harmful gases such as the Carbon-di-oxide, Nitrous Oxide and methane that traps the energy from the sun and without these gases the heat would escape back into the space and the earth's average temperature would be sixty degree Farenheit colder, because of this our world becomes more warmer than the normal.
How can we protect our earth from the dangerous Global Warming?
Stop deforestation and plant more trees as much as we can. Protect the mangroves and the wetlands from being eroded or destroyed. Protect the old-growth trees and the rainforest which act as the warehouses for carbon. Use fossil fuels such as the gas , oil and coal more efficiently and switch to renewable fuels. Its not too late unless we act now, our children will inherit a hotter world, dirtier air and water, more severe floods and droughts, and more wild forestfires.
