Global Warming is one of the biggest problems on this earth that will be threatening our future. I believe that you often hear that word, but do you understand what that means? Here is the information. Global Warming is the current increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate. Base on NASA data, February 2018 was the sixth warmest February in 138 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. That is a bad news.
In general, the main cause of global warming is due to human actions, with the increasing number of population, and the development of technology and industry that encourage many actions to cause global warming around the world. The causes of Global Warming are the greenhouse effect, increased carbon gas, air pollution, and many others. Example of human activities that caused Global Warming is using fuels oil for their vehicle. Vehicles using fuel oil such as cars, motorcycles and other vehicles whose disposal would produce excessive carbon dioxide gas while carbon is a factor that causes global warming. Besides caused by human activities, natural phenomena also become one of the factors of global warming. For example, lack of volcanic activity, but the contribution is relatively small for global warming.
Global Warming has a great impact on our environment and affects the animal, plants, and human life on Earth. One of the most immediate and obvious effects of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world and extreme weather. The next effect is ice melt, but then it makes the sea levels rise automatically. For animal and plants, many species are already moving their range northward or to higher altitudes as a result of warming temperatures, according to a report from the National Academy of Sciences. The dramatic impact of climate change is expected to occur in nature, change also occurs in social terms. Agricultural systems will likely be dealt a crippling blow. Though growing seasons in some areas will expand, the combined impacts of drought, severe weather, lack of accumulated snowmelt, greater number and diversity of pests, lower groundwater tables and a loss of arable land could cause severe crop failures and livestock shortages worldwide.
Imagine if the impact will happen, of course, it is very horrible, right? Therefore, we should give at least a little of our attention to this earth. There are several ways to reduce the occurrence of global warming that reduces our emissions, stop deforestation, maintain our ride, invest in energy-efficient appliances, and others. We as the successor of the nation must know and fully understand with Global Warming. Moreover, it is also important for us to invite and spread the importance of reducing Global Warming to our friends, relatives, and family. If not us, who else?
