1GLOBAL WARMING
Global Warming is an issue of serious concern in the modern ages. It is defined as the
long-term increase of the Earth’s climate temperature. It is caused by increasing amount of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which leads to air pollution and other problems in the
atmosphere.
The purpose of this essay is to make a rough draft of global warming and its effects
on the atmosphere.
Global Warming generally refers to the increase of the temperature of the Earth’s
climate caused mainly by greenhouse gases and other human activities. One of the major
causes of Global Warming are deforestation. As stated by Hughes (2017), this is because
plants play a very important role in regulating the climate of the Earth. When human cut
down plants, the carbon that they store from the atmosphere is one again released back into
the atmosphere. This causes the atmosphere to be polluted leading to Global Warming. Other
causes of Global Warming include burning of fossil fuels which release large amounts of
CO2 gas into the atmosphere leading to global warming. Farming also leads to Global
Warming as cattles produce large amounts of methane. Farmers also release large amounts of
nitrous oxide into the atmosphere leading to Global Warming (Barichivich 2014).
Global Warming can have serious effects on the living organisms and on the
atmosphere in general. As stated by Van Der Schrier (2018), it can result in the
environmental and social changes due to the huge amount of emissions of greenhouse gases.
Glacier retreat is another effect of global warming as well as melting of glaciers in the arctic
regions. As stated by Van Der Schrier (2017), the warming of the climate leads to change in
rainfall, evaporation, steam and other problems that makes the water warmer. Warmer water
can lead to increase in water pollution. Some other effects of global warming include rising
sea levels that can lead to coastal flooding, agriculture will be affected due to increase in
