Earth relies on natural greenhouse gases to keep warm to support life. Now the earth is dying from Global Warming because of rapidly rising temperature caused by too much CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) in the atmosphere.
CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING :
1) excess release of CO2 and other greenhouse gases from BURNING FOSSIL FUEL, NATURAL GAS, COAL, OIL AND GASOLINE BY POWER PLANTS, AUTOMOBILES, FACTORIES, AND OTHER HUMAN ACTIVITIES.
2) excess release of methane and nitrous oxide by EXTENSIVE LARGE SCALE AGRICULTURE AND FACTORING FARMING.
3) deforestation by NON-SUSTAINABLE COMMERCIAL MASS CUTTING DOWN OF FOREST TREES, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY LESS TREES NOW TO REPLACE CO2 WITH OXYGEN.
4) population growth by INCREASING AND CONTINUAL HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT RELEASES EVEN MORE GREENHOUSE GASES.
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING :
1. Melting of polar ice glaciers
CAUSES INCREASING NUMBER OF EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS, AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS IN UNEXPECTED PLACES; RAISES SEA LEVELS FLOODING COASTAL REGIONS AND CONTAMINATING FRESH WATER SUPPLIES.
2. Significant changes in wind patterns, weather patterns, and climate.
INFLUENCES THE LENGTH OF SEASONS; CAUSES MORE OCCURING FLOODS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND DEATH DUE TO MORE FREQUENT HEAVY RAINFALLS, FIERCE STORMS, HURRICANE, TORNADOES, AND TYPHOONS.
3. Increased CO2
CAUSES MORE ACIDIC SEAWATER THREATENING THE SURVIVAL OF FISH, CORAL REEFS, AMD PLANKTONS; CAUSES RAPID INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE.
4. Increased air temperature
CAUSES REDUCED AGRICULTURAL YIELDS, HUNGER, AND EXTINCTION OF MANY ENDANGERED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES DUE TO CHANGED HABITATS; CAUSES HEAT WAVE, FIRES, DROUGHT, AND WATER SCARCITY; CAUSES DESERTS TO EXPAND AND SNOW TO DISAPPEAR IN MOST PLACES; EXPANDS THE RANGE AND BREEDING GROUNDS OF DISEASES CARRIED BY ANIMALS AND INSECTS, INCREASING WORLDWIDE SPREAD OF DISEASES AND DEATH.
