What are Global warming and its Effects?
Answers
Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.
Global warming stresses ecosystems through temperature rises, water shortages, increased fire threats, drought, weed and pest invasions, intense storm damage and salt invasion, just to name a few. Some of Australia's great natural icons, such as the Great Barrier Reef, are already threatened.
Answer:
GLOBAL WARMING - carbon dioxide has the capacity to absorb heat from the sun.Excess of carbon dioxide near the earth surface traps the heat and prevents it from escaping.This ultimately results in increasing the temperature called globalwarming. .
