Global Warming

Global warming is the uncontrolled increase in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. Environmentalists and scientists have predicted at the rate humans are causing pollution and not taking care of the earth, millions will die from the harsh effects global warming will bring about. Sea level rising and increase in atmospheric temperatures are the few effects of this disastrous phenomena.

 According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, scientists have reported that the main cost of this warming is the increased production of green house gases y human activities. Green house gases include carbon monoxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and water vapour. They keep the Earth's temperature at a steady 33 degrees Celsius which has since rose.  These gases may arise form the increased burning in fossil fuels , maintenance of agriculture and many more. The accumulation of these gases will ultimately increase the atmospheric temperature. This will cause irrational climates and heat waves. Ice caps will melt increasing the temperature of water making it impossible for marine life to thrive. A decrease in their population will decrease our food sources. There is no way humans come out on top and escape from the damage they have done to this earth. As such we need to step up and take necessary steps to save this planet before we suffer the wrath of its consequences.
