Global Warming- What it is! How does it relates to human existence? A brief analogy.
Global Warming means- Changes in weather & weather patterns on Earth due to the Increase in Temperature of Earth.
This increase in the temperature of the earth (estimated to be 1000F (average) temperature rise over a span of 100 years) results in changes in rain patterns, melting of icebergs and glaciers, rise in sea level, and adverse effects on vegetation and living life.
Causes of Global warming
Greenhouse gases are the most dominant factor for global warming. These Greenhouse gases absorb heat from other sources such as the Sun causing rise in temperature.
Other major gas which causes global warming is Carbon di-Oxide, which is released along with our out-breathe. It is also produced with the burning of things.
Measures to prevent global warming-
• The emission of CFC gases (used in fridge etc) has to be checked to stop global warming.
• Measures should be taken to prevent pollution due to industrial units.
• To reduce the impact of smoke from vehicles, the environmental standards must be strictly adhered to.
• Renewable energy must be used more extensively.
• There should be a ban on fire in forests.
I hope you learnt something today.
Have a nice day,,,,
It only happens through mass efforts of us..
