Global Warming


Global warming is a critical problem to the environment that we live in. Global warming is the change in the temperature of the ocean and the earth's surface.

Global warming is caused from carbon dioxide and other air pollutions (by mankind) which is collected in the earth's atmosphere trapping the heat which is coming from the sun and causing the plant to be warmer.

This crisis is leading to negative effects to the earth's weather and environment. The temperature rise in all parts of the world is a main effect that is changing the way people lead their lives. Extreme weather conditions are another effect that can lead to hurricanes and other tropical disasters which had already started in some courtiers. Many countries have witnessed the effects of global warming; the United States had the worst wildfire in many different states in 2002 and in Europe extreme heat waves have caused around 20,000 deaths in 2003. Even in Australia there has been many bush fires in the recent years and of course the main problem of the country was caused by global warming and that is the drought which is a critical issue for the government and the people.

A solution to this major crisis was not found yet, on the other hand there are some steps that a person can do which may help decrease the effects of global warming. Some of the steps are to use less energy which will help decrease the amount of carbon dioxide exerted to the earth's atmosphere.
