Global warming

Do you know the definiton of "Global Warming"?,  im sure you all of you have know it, f it but some of you readers  dont understand the real definition of it,  In my opinion you guys should know how teribble Global warming for our beloving earth, may you all continue to scroll down to know moreWhat is Global Warming?

Global Warming is referiing to a long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, theres also another name for global warming which is it "Global Boiling" but as you may know mosly people knows its  called global warming. 

Mostly  Global warming happens accordingly due to released by people burning fossil fuels, which effects increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels (particularly carbon dioxide) in Earth's atmosphere, which is the same case as "Climate Change"

What is Climate Change?

Climate change refers to significant, long-term changes in the average temperature, weather patterns, and other climate parameters on Earth, Climate could also be a reason to describe the changes as a result ensuing the human activities.

The Causes of Global Warming!

In the Earth we live in theres lots of causes, mostly by relating to Global warming! those are...

  •  Generating power

Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas causes a large capacity of global emissions. Most of it cause electricity is still produced from fossil fuels; only about a quarter comes from wind, solar and other renewable sources.

  • Manufacturing goods

manufacturing goods and  industry produce are  emissions as in general caused by burning fossils fuels which lead to producing energy  for making things like cement, iron, steel, electronics,  plastics, clothes and other goods. Mining and other industrial processes also release gases that effects this situation.

  • Cutting down forests

Cutting down forest's is an activity that is done by humans to collect the natural resources and also to  create farms or pastures, beside there would be  alot more other reasons, it  causes emissions happened since trees  when they are cut, it would release the carbon they have been storing.

Since forests absorb carbon dioxide, it will continuing destroying them also limits nature’s ability to keep emissions out of the atmosphere. 

  • Using transportation

Using transportation is the most frequently used by humans everyday to go to your desired destination without walking , which  Most cars, lorries, ships and planes runs on fossil fuels, that would definitely makes transportation a major contributor of greenhouse gases, especially carbon-dioxide discharges.


  • Cutting down forests (deforestation)

Trees are one of the most important things that we need in the enviroment, trees contribute to regulate the climate by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. When they are  chop down  that valuable effect is gone and the carbon stored in the trees would be released into the atmosphere, affecting the greenhouse effect.

Effects of Global Warming!

After all of those causes, now were gonna talk about the effects of global warming to our earth.


  • Rising Temperatures

 The average global temperature increased, Nearly all land areas are often to face hot days and heat waves, the yeaer 2020 was one of the hottest years on record. this problem could effect drought to most lands or enviroments , Higher temperatures increase heat-related illnesses.  Rising temperatures hurts forest's to by them having Wildfires start more easily and spread more rapidly on conditions   of the uncontrollable heat.

  • Melting ice point & Rising Sea levels

due to the rising  temperatures contribute to the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps, it really gives a big impact to the animals cause theres a ton of animals that only could survived in cold places, so theres basically more liquid because ice bergs melting,  leading to rising sea levels This poses a threat to low-lying coastal areas, increasing the risk of flooding and displacing populations.

  • Health Risk's

The changing weather patterns did really affect most of our health by the expanding diseases for example malaria, the extreme weather events  increased diseases and death, it’s to difficult for health care system to  cary on with, some people might even die due to hunger or poor nutrition in areas where people can’t grow or find sufficient food.

  • Loss of species

 Global warming holds risks to the survival of species on land and in the ocean. These risks increase as temperatures climb, for example the Forest fires, extreme weather and invasive pests and diseases are among many threats. Some species will be able to  survive, but others will not.   

Solution

after knowing most of the effect lets all learn how to decrease it, these steps that you could do!!

  • Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
