Introduction to Global warming



Introduction to the Global Warming


Global Warming is one of the most important problems nowadays. The atmosphere layer protects the earth and balances the air, temperature and water to maintain life. However, Carbon dioxide and other gases are damaging the earth by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere causing the global warming. In other words the global warming means the abnormal increase of the earth’s temperature caused by the thickening of the atmosphere layer.



There are many reasons for this problem. The most important one is the fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil. Burning the fossil fuels to use it in our daily life, for example to start our cars and to get electricity for our houses, emits a huge amount of carbon dioxide and other gases that harm the atmosphere. Another cause is the clearing of forests. By doing this we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising. One last cause is that the building up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane, which increases the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.



We must try to control this problem, because it affects our planet and our lives. If the temperature will continue rising like this, many things will happen such as: the deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years to 300,000 people a year, heat waves will be more frequent and more intense and the heat waves will be more frequent and more intense. So we must aware the whole world about this dangerous to decrease the temperature.
