article on global warming and climate change

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. There is great debate among many people, and sometimes in the news, on whether global warming is real (some call it a hoax). But climate scientists looking at the data and facts agree the planet is warming. While many view the effects of global warming to be more substantial and more rapidly occurring than others do, the scientific consensus on climatic changes related to global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years. The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years. Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate carrying out global warming research have recently predicted that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events.
Our earth is a unique and beautiful planet . Trees make the earth look more beautiful. They provide fresh oxygen and many other things to all living beings. But it is a matter of great concern for all of us that trees are being cut to such an extent that the human species are also endangered. It is also affecting the environment adversely. The earth is heating up because of which GLOBAL WARMING has started.
Now a days global warming has become a major issue not only in INDIA but all over the world. Scientists have discovered that if global warming is not checked , people will have to face the consequences. Because of global warming,it has become very difficult for the meteorologists to pridict the climate as climate has also been affected . Due to climate change ,glaciers will also melt which Will results in increase of water in sea level causing floods.
Both global warming and climate changed need to be stopped as soon as possible .All people should realise the need of hour and follow the steps by which they can help in overcoming this issue. Deforestation should be stopped and more trees should be planted. It is the moral duty of each and every person to play his / her role in making earth clean and green planet and bring back the beauty of the "MOTHER LAND"
