GLOBAL WARMING
Gradual increase in the overall temperature of the
earth's atmosphere due to the high concentrations of
carbon dioxide, CFCs, methane, other pollutants
generally attributed to the greenhouse effect. Over the
past 50 years, the average global temperature has
increased at the fastest rate in recorded history.
In other words we can say that global warming is the
process that causes the Earth's temperature to rise and
makes the Earth warmer. Humans play a large role in
the increase in the Earth's temperature.
