What is global warming?

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.

What causes global warming?

The primary cause of climate change is human activities – like driving cars, creating electricity, and cutting down forests – not natural changes in the climate. These human activities release gases into the atmosphere called greenhouse gases, which slowly warm the planet, creating climate change.

What effect global warming?

Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns.

Answer:

Global Warming

Global warming is the phenomenon of the increase in the temperature of the atmosphere due to the presence of excessive greenhouse gases.

Global warming will results in the melting of the polar ice caps and raise the ocean level which will submerge islands and coastal lands. Due to extreme climatic conditions, people in many regions will be displaced. There will be mass migration as people look for habitable places for resettlement.

Global warming would cause unpredictable rainfall. A sudden flash flood will be followed by a period of drought. This will cause scarcity of drinking water and irrigation for cultivation leading to worldwide food scarcity.

The burning of fossil fuels increases global warming and also depletes the ozone layer which protects us from the harmful effects of UV rays of the Sun. This will increase the cases of skin cancer.

Global warming would cause unpredictable rainfall. A sudden flash flood will be followed by a period of drought. This will cause a scarcity of drinking water. The shortage of water for irrigation will lead to the failure of agriculture and cause worldwide food scarcity.

The catastrophic consequences of Global Warming can be mitigated by preserving the natural ecological system, shifting to sustainable development, and using more environmentally friendly energy.

Planting more trees will reduce the amount of harmful carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere and reduce global warming. We need to shift to alternative energy instead of burning fossil fuels like coal and petroleum products. The burning of fossil fuels increases global warming and also depletes the ozone layer which protects us from the harmful effects of UV rays of the Sun.

Proper treatment of industrial waste before they are dumped and using renewable energy, electric, hydro and solar energy will help us to reduce the danger of global warming. Urgent steps must be taken to reduce exhaust emissions from motor vehicles, power plants, factories, and industries. Global warming needs urgent global actions to save and preserve life on Earth.
