Global Warming Is A Global Threat

The earth’s temperature is rising day by day; massive glaciers are melting; plain land is converting to seas and ocean and surface of the sea is rising abruptly to an alarming extent. What’s the deal??? Scientist claims it to be the result of Global warming. Now the question is; what is global warming??? 

 

Global warming is an abrupt increase in temperature of Earth due to an emission of the Greenhouses gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gas emitted in greenhouse effect is the most responsible element in causing the global warming. Methane gas causes 20% of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect occurs naturally to some extents to keep the earth’s habitable condition necessarily warm enough for the life existence. But since the beginning of the revolutionary industrial world, the ratio of carbon dioxide and the methane gas in the Earth’s atmosphere has risen high, resulting in the increase of the world’s average temperature.

 

 Factors contributing in global warming:

With the rise of urban life, burning of the fuels of the vehicle and factories and deforestation has contributed a lot in global warming by emitting the dangerous gases. This created the disastrous   Impact on the ecosystem in the form of storms; floods, tsunami, and drought etc. The carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere causes more evaporation of the water. Water vapor already being the greenhouse gas accelerates the warming and makes more water vapors to evaporate, leading to an immense rise in the temperature. This rise in the temperature causes vast glaciers of the world to melt and subsequently cause the floods, irregular rainfall and cyclones. It has been seen that due to global warming, glaciers considered as permanent glaciers have also started to melt.

 

Major concerns of global warming:

Global warming is also causing the sea level to rise high up and it’s a major concern for ecologists. Major common concerns are as discussed below.

Rise in sea level:

Due to irregular rain pattern and melting of ice glaciers, many cities in the coastal areas are on the brink of getting submerged under the sea. And many islands are supposed to become completely vanished from the earth’s surface in near future.

 

Health disease and malnutrition:

A rise in temperature leads to airborne disease. Besides, the ultraviolet radiation due to global warming is causing many skin diseases at the other place. Secondly, severe sort of drought has become frequent and the starvation is also a concerning phenomenon in many countries of the world due to global warming.

 

Poor farming:

The unusual changes in the temperature also have adverse effects on the world’s agriculture and crops.

How to control global warming:

The increasing threats caused by global warming have forced the entire world to chalk out plans and actions to avert the coming threats. States have designed laws to prevent the deforestation. But, more is needed to do. More trees should be planted; recycle or renewable products should be used. Thermal power should be used for generating electricity. Transportation should be shared to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. We should promote Eco-friendly-technologies as a replacement of greenhouse gas emitting technologies; painting the roof-top and road in white can also contribute in reducing the global effects. By our individual and mutual cooperation on the massive scale, we can reduce the global warming that is an alarming issue for the whole ecosystem.
