Global warming
First of all I would like to begin with the definition of global warming: is the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect causedby increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFC’s, and other pollutants. As we know because of global warming The world is getting warmer every year; The average temperature on the earth is about ½ C warmerthan it was 100 years ago, it’s 5 C warmer than it was in the last Ice Age, more than 12,000 years ago. Why is the earth getting warmer? The answer is a chain reaction, one action causes anotheraction, and that action causes another action and so on. The first part of this chain reaction is fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal. Homes, cars and business burn fossil fuels and they releasegreenhouse gases into the air like carbon dioxide, those gases trap the sun’s heat near the earth and because of that the earth’s temperature raise.
Global Warming effects
Greenhouse gases can stay in theatmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years. No matter what we do, global warming is going to have some effect on Earth. Here are the 5 deadliest effectsof global warming.
5. Spread of disease: some scientists believe that some countries thanks to global warming, malaria have not been fully eradicated.
4. Warmer waters and more hurricanes: whenwater becomes warmer it expands that means sea level will rise and many cities near the ocean will be soon under water. Also it will be the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes.
3.Growing seasons: farmers won’t be able to grow some fruits and vegetables in some parts of the world because it will be too hot.
2. Economic consequences: Hurricanes cause does millions of dollarsin damage, diseases cost money to treat and control and conflicts exacerbate all of these.
1. Polar icecaps melting: The ice caps melting are based in several dangers
