Global warming

Hi everyone. I'm sure you are all aware that the biggest environmental threat that we are facing today is global warming. It is adversely affecting the biodiversity , climatic conditions and ecological balance of the earth.

What is global warming ? Global warming is the continuous and steady increase in the temperature of the earth's surface. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are the prime reasons for global warming . Other processes like burning of fossil fuels , use of fertilizers , CFC'S and UV rays reaching the earth from a hole in the ozone layer of the atmosphere are also contributing to global warming .Thus , our technological advancement , population , expansion , industrial expansion , deforestation and unchecked urbanisation have led us to this life threatening situation.

The dissastrous impact of global warming can be seen in the form of floods,cyclones, tsunamis, droughts, landslides , melting glaciers , unexpected climatic changes and outbreaks of epidemics . We have disturbed the balance of nature and it is time we took serious steps to save the situation from worsening. We must put a stop to deforestation and plant more and more trees to reduce level of carbon dioxide in the air. We must reduce the emissions of CFCs through regulating the use of refrigerators, ac , deodorants and perfumes . Use of cleaner fuels , recycling of waste , use of LED bulbs and energy efficient devices can help us to reduce global warming.
