Causes and Effects of Global Warming

Global warming is increasing day by day because of the continuous increase in the levels of greenhouse gasses. Such gases have a tendency to trap heat from many sources like sun, electricity, burning coal, burning fuels, etc, and prevent them to escape back to the atmosphere.

Thus, the collective effect of all the greenhouse gases increases the temperature on the earth and gives rise to many dangerous problems. Earlier, the earth was so cool and every natural cycle was going timely however nowadays lots of dramatic fluctuations in the weather, climate, temperature, health, etc takes place. A vast increase in the temperature, sea level, and weather patterns has been seen clearly in the few last decades.

All the changes because of the ever-increasing global warming are not a coincidence however it is caused by human activities and technological advancement. A little fluctuation in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide may cause a high-level significant effect on the global temperature.

The continuous rise in the percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide is alarming us by its dangerous effects however we are still ignoring it. The increasing need for fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and gasoline) by the people of industrial civilization is giving the opportunity to rise in carbon dioxide emissions.

Deforestation is also causing an increase in carbon dioxide by decreasing the number of plants and exposing the soil to sunlight. Trees are the best source to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere however what happens if we finish the main source of reducing CO2 level. Our mal practices just to live a luxurious life on a daily basis are hugely altering the environment as well as endangering the lives of people in return. A little rise in the level of greenhouse gases may hugely affect global warming.

With the use of a chemical called chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) in the refrigerators, aerosol spray propellants are continuously damaging the ozone layer thus increasing the chance of heat remaining on the earth by preventing them to escape back out to the environmental surface.

Destruction of the ozone layer increases the incidence of many health disorders and diseases such as skin cancer, respiratory disease, low immunity problems, etc. Global warming is damaging seasonal crops and marine food channel web, etc. It has affected the weather patterns (summer season has increased and winter season has decreased) and climate because of the increasing temperature and heat of the earth’s atmosphere.
