That our life has been rapidly changing these days due to the industrialization and modernization

brings about not only benefits but also drawbacks. One of the most noticeable issues that human
beings have to confront with these days is the increasing average temperature of the Earth and its
oceans.
To commence with this, an amount of research recently carried out reveals that “global warming” is
actually caused by two following reasons. The first underlying factor from which this phenomenon
stems is the air pollution. To be more details, a sheer amount of exhaust from motor vehicles,
greenhouse gases (CO2, N2O and CH4) from factories as well as refrigeration processes is being
alarmingly released into the atmosphere. Additionally, the widespread deforestation including cutting
and burning trees simultaneously leads to the fact that our planet is becoming adversely warmer.
According to the World Carfree Network (WCN), for instance, deforestation makes up 15% of the
global carbon emission, outnumbering the figure of cars and trucks by 1%.
There is no doubt that “global warming” generates a number of grave consequences. The first thing
worth mentioning is its tremendous impact on the weather patterns. A case in point is that there are
more and more powerful and potentially destructive hurricanes happening, which might lead to
enormous damages. Besides, that glaciers has dramatically melted recently is one of the direct
effects of this issue. More specifically, this process will result in the sharp increase of sea level,
which is of the motives for the submersion of coastal areas, and the extinction of polar animals.
Reality has shown that penguin and white bear might be disappeared on account of losing habitat.
Furthermore, a quantity of diseases also stem from the greenhouse effect. Skin cancer, for example,
is due to the solar radiation now reaching the Earth’s surface through ozone hole caused by the rise
in the temperature.
To put it in a nutshell, global warming is a international thorny issue. If this worsening trend is not
soon reversed, it is beyond question that the issue will become even more complicated in the years
to come. It is hence a good idea for individuals, governments as well as scientists to join hands to
tackle this threat.
