Over the past few years, earth temperature increase in unbalance way, you can call this global warming. Global warming is referred as the climate change. Global warming is mostly caused by the human. With now high technology, human creates many kinds of stuff that can cause global warming. Here are the causes of global warming along with the effect.

First, the effect of the greenhouse. A greenhouse is built for shield plants from cold or heat and pest that can destroy the plants. Many farmers admitted that they satisfied with their harvest from the greenhouse, and the number of the greenhouse increase almost every year. But, did you know that the effect of the greenhouse is also killing our earth? Normally the radiation will escape the atmosphere and the heat release, but because of the greenhouse, the heat trap and make the earth hotter, this is what we know as the greenhouse effect.

Second, the burning of the fossil fuel. The burning of fossil fuel produces the largest amount of carbon emission. It produces about two billion tons carbon emission every year. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, carbon emissions make up more than 80 percent of the greenhouse gases emitted in the United States. These carbon emissions increase earth temperature by trapping solar energy in the atmosphere.

Third, cow fart. Cows belong to a class of mammals called ruminants. Ruminants is an animal that has four stomachs, two-toed feet, and store their food in the first chamber of their stomach before regurgitating it. This regurgitated food called "cud" and the animals chew it again to help further break it down to make it easier to digest. Inside their stomach, over four hundred different kinds of microbes exist that also play a critical role in the digestion process. Several of these microbes create methane gas. Due to the sheer number of cows on the planet, along with the large size of each cow, our tasty friends produce more methane gas than all other ruminants combined.

In conclusion, because we already know what makes global warming, we have to prevent that from happening. Try to start it from yourself by taking the public transportation to reduce the air pollution and try to plant some tree to reduce carbon dioxide. Remember, the earth is not a lasting place, someday our earth will lose it strength and it depends on us to protect it. Love the earth!!
