Paragraph on global warming in 150 words
Answers
The challenge before us is to reduce Global warming. Global warming will melt the polarize caps. It is estimated that if all the ice on the earth melts, about 200 feet of water would be added to the surface of all oceans. Satellite pictures have shown that the solar ice has been shrinking by 10 percent per decade since 1980. Due to global warming, India-Khumba glaciers of Md. Everest has retreated by 5 km since 1953 while sea ice cover of Arctic Ocean has declined by 6 % from 1978 to 1953. It is estimated that an increase of only 3 degree centigrade atmospheric temperature may raise sea level by 0.2-1.5 meters over the next 50-100 years, this may submerge low lying coastal cities like Shanghai, Bangkok, Dhaka, Sydney etc. In Indian this effects may also threaten the inundation of Lakshadweep islands, Mumbai and deltas of Ganges (West Bengal), Carvers (T.N), Godavari (AP) and Mahanadi, Orissa.
the time has one from our hands for debating on the issue of Global warming. Today the need of the day demand implementation of measures to decrease Global warming. Some of the measures that may help to check global warming are
(a) Control of population growth by decreasing the birth rate
(b) Afforestation (Planting more tress on new areas)
(c) Deforestation reversal by reforestation
(d) Reduction in the use of chlorofloro carbons
(e) Shift from coal to natural gas on electricity as energy resource
(f) To trap and use methane as a fuel.
(g) More use of non-conventional source of energy like wind power and solar energy. Automobiles should be made more fuel efficient and less taking on the environment.
Answer:
Explanation:
Global warming
Global warming is a part of climate change and is partially caused by increased greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture, and other industrial causes.
The Earth's temperature had already warmed by 1°C compared to pre-industrial levels. This temperature rise may appear small, but small rises in temperature translate into big changes for the world’s climate. This is because the amount of extra energy needed to increase the world’s temperature, even by a little, is vast. This extra energy is like force-feeding the global climate system.
·Hotter days
·Rising sea level
·oceans are warming
Melting glaciers, early snowmelt, and severe droughts will cause more dramatic water shortages and increase the risk of wildfires in the American West.
Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding on the Eastern Seaboard, especially in Florida, and in other areas such as the Gulf of Mexico.
Allergies, asthma, and infectious disease outbreaks will become more common due to increased growth of pollen-producing ragweed, higher levels of air pollution, and the spread of conditions favorable to pathogens and mosquitoes.
