Green House Effect and Global Warming

Global warming and the greenhouse effect are the major environmental issues catching the attention of everyone because of the clear climate changes. The greenhouse effect is considered a natural process however going very fast nowadays and has become very serious because of some human activities. The greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases has to do a lot with global warming.

Greenhouse gases are human released gases through many activities like deforestation, industrialization, the use of electricity in every area of work, and so many. There are some natural sources of releasing greenhouse gases however they are in balance. The greenhouse effect is continuously altering the temperature of the earth’s surface.

Such a huge alteration in the temperature causes the earth to get warmer day by day which results in global warming. There are many benefits as well as disadvantages of the greenhouse effect to the lives on earth. In the absence of it, the earth may get too cold and in the presence of it, the earth may get too hot. Both are harmful to live beings so, it is required to keep them in balance. There are many causes of the greenhouse effect.

Three of them are the most common and major cause of the greenhouse effect which are CO2, water vapour, and methane. Water vapour is known as natural atmospheric gas however highly strong to absorb sun rays heat. 80 percent of the total natural greenhouse warming is caused by water vapour and left 20 percent by other gasses.

Carbon dioxide gas is considered the second biggest heat absorber on the earth which absorbs heat from sun rays. The major reason for CO2 emission is human activities affecting the level of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere. Deforestation and fossil fuels burning are the main human-made reasons for CO2 emission. This continuous in carbon dioxide and other gases causes the earth’s temperature to increase and make it warmer than before.

Methane is more powerful than CO2 and can absorb 25 times more infrared radiations. This gas is created by biological activities like the digestive process of domestic animals, rice cultivation, leakage in domestic and industrial gas lines, etc. according to the Environmental Media Services Organization, it is found that only through the greenhouse effect the earth’s surface temperature may increase by 6 degrees by the year 2100. Global warming is affecting the whole ecological balance, sea level, corals reefs, marine life, plants, human beings, etc.
