Question

Read the passage given below. Global weather is warming leading to Arctic meltdown. This is primarily a result of the greenhouse effect caused by too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the plant. Burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy cutting down and burning forests to create pastures and plantations leads to carbon accumulation. Refrigeration and air conditioning and certain agricultural practices also aggravate the problem by releasing additional potent global warming gases such as methane and nitrous oxide. Over the last century, global average temperature has increased by more than 1.0°F. A warming would also have the potential to change rainfall and snow patterns, increase droughts and severe storms, reduce lake ice cover , melt glaciers, increase sea levels and change plant and animal behaviour. The impact of global warming on our planet is extremely serious and if this problem is not talked on an urgent basis it will lead to melting of polar ice caps leading to an increase in sea level drowning coastlines and slowly submerging continents. Our generation needs to give a healing touch to the earth which we have ourselves made sick. Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector​

Answer 1

The passage highlights the impacts of global warming on the world.

Explanation:

• Global warming is increasing due to greenhouse gas emissions which are known as the greenhouse gas effects.
• Cutting down and burning forests releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere leading to ozone hole depletion.
• This results in increased UV rays reaching the earth's surface and a rise in temperature.
• Observations show that approximately 2 degrees Celcius temperature of the earth has risen over the years.

Answer 2

Answer:

global warming is a result of
