1.
What is Global Warming?
Global warming refers to the increase in the temperature of the atmosphere thus causing
damage to the land (oceans, the same land where we tread, ecosystems and obviously us). In
addition, thanks to this phenomenon, the climatic change is caused, what it does is radically
change the temperatures of the earth. Thus, damaging all living beings that inhabit the earth.
2.
What is the Greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the phenomenon by which certain gases, which are components of
the planetary atmosphere, retain part of the energy that the soil emits because it has been
heated by solar radiation. It affects all planetary bodies endowed with atmosphere. According
to the majority of the scientific community, the greenhouse effect is being accentuated on
Earth by the emission of certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, due to human
activity. This phenomenon prevents solar energy constantly received by Earth from returning
immediately to space, producing a global effect similar to that observed in a greenhouse.
3.
What causes Global Warming?
The period of warming through which the earth passes is due to various actions carried out
by man in the environment and which begins to have different effects, presented as the hottest
decades on record. The most important causes are:
Deforestation: According to the United Nations Organization for Agriculture and
Reforestation –FAO– deforestation emits around 30% of greenhouse gases. Likewise, it is
estimated that at least 13 million hectares are felled annually worldwide.
Gas Emission: gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and others are responsible for trapping
terrestrial radiation, which increases the temperature from 1.5 to 5 degrees Celsius.
Fossil fuels: the burning of fossil fuels is one of the determining factors in global warming.
This can occur from burning fossil fuels caused by electricity generation or emissions from
cars.
4.
How can we fight Global Warming?
The solution basically consists of reducing greenhouse gases, achieving greater reforestation,
preventing an increase in the burning of fossil fuels, as well as cleaning the areas of the planet
that are highly saturated with pollution, such as rivers, lakes and soils, as well as by the
chemicals that cause pollution in the air and everywhere that the human being operates.
5.
Summary
In summary, global warming is a phenomenon that seriously affects all beings and the earth
as it is the radical change in temperature. phenomenon that we humans cause ourselves.
causing even more phenomena such as the greenhouse effect that is the retention of gases in
the thermosphere and the climate change that is the sudden change in temperature, climate,
seasons, etc. In addition to that many of the causes for the prolongation and the current state
of global warming are common and current activities of all beings such as the use of aerosols
that greatly damages the ozone layer thus allowing the sun's rays to enter stronger causing a
high temperature change. There are also very simple things to help against global warming
that anyone can do, such as recycling and caring for ecosystems. To conclude, human beings,
in my opinion, should start looking for less harmful methods for the planet, since it is
dependent on damaging the ecosystem to survive instead of using or looking for renewable
methods that are not so harmful to the planet.
