What is global warming – It is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally because of the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide because of burning fossil fuels, Chlorofluorocarbons carbons, and other pollutants. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It has the ability to absorb the infra-red rays and reradiate the same in to the environment. This causes the rise in temperature and results in global warming.
The result of global warming is rising of sea levels, changes in rainfall patterns, melting of glaciers and growing of disease. Preventing or reverting climate change is responsibility of each one of us. We can take following actions to avert climate change and protect natural environment:-
1. Conserve energy in the home.
