WHAT IS GLOBAL HEATING?
Global warming refers to changes in the average temperature
of the earth's surface. Measurements show that global
temperatures have risen by 0.78oC from 1900 to 2005. Global
warming is closely linked to a wide range of climate change
such as increasing frequency of heavy rainfall, shrinking snow
cover and ice. marine, the intensification and intensification of
heat waves, the rising oceans and the mass acidification of the
oceans. The current cycle of global warming is changing the
climate rhythms on which all living things rely. Global warming
is a growing problem. The increase of the world population and
the increase of consumption leads to an ever-increasing
production of carbon emissions. You may have heard a lot
about global warming, but if we want to reduce it, then we
have to greatly reduce the amount of carbon we release into
the atmosphere.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF GLOBAL HEATING?
Scientists have been studying the causes of global warming for
decades. They have studied cycles and natural events that
affect climate change. The United Nations formed one of the
most specialized groups of scientists, called the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which undertook
to study and analyze the causes and consequences of global
warming. Emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
from the combustion of fossil fuels of plant origin Our growing
dependence on the energy generated by the combustion of
coal and fuels of plant origin, makes the amount of carbon
dioxide released into the atmosphere be too big.
CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING
Some phenomena caused by temperature rise that are occurring now
are:
• Temperature changes.
• Ice is melting all over the world, especially at the poles.
• Adelie's Antarctic penguins have been reduced from 32,000 pairs to
11,000 pairs over a 30-year period.
• Sea levels have risen rapidly over the last century.
• Some butterflies, foxes and some alpine plants have moved to colder
areas.
• Precipitation of rain and snow has increased greatly across the globe.
• The amount of dissolved oxygen in ocean waters can be reduced by
creating serious problems for the living things that live in these waters.
• Human beings are more exposed to climate change and weather
elements.
