Dailly assignment : Global worming, a Serious Environmental Problem

Topic : Global Worming, a Serious Environmental problem

Global worming increases the world temperature and causes changes in climate. If the temperature warms the earth, this may lead to change in rainfall pattern, meting of ice blocks, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impact on plants, wildlife, and humans. When scientists talk about issue of change, they focus on global warming caused by human's activities. They agree that burning fossil fuel like oil and coal causes greenhouse gases to escape into the air and these gases cause many problems. Many scientists believe that human's activities cause an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere at the high rate and increase the rise of temperature in the world. Greenhouse gases have many sources, and some cause by humans. The crucial component that causes greenhouse gases such as CO2, Methane, Chlorofluorocarbon, and Nitrous Oxide to be release into the atmosphere result to humans activities. The exaggeration use of power plants, cars, airplanes, boats, and other structure release toxic gaze into the atmosphere and contributes to global worming. Nylon and nitric acid production, the use of fertilizers in agriculture, and the burning of organic matter also release the green house gases. Another important cause of global worming results of land-use changes such as massive deforestation. When people destroy massively the forest without replanting it, the carbon dioxide released into the air instead of being replace by the oxygen increases the long-wave radiation and trapped heat. Consequently, as we lose millions of acres of rain forest every year, we also lose wildlife habitats, our environment, and most significantly a non-regulated air and ocean temperature. In general, global worming enhances the spread of diseases. In central Africa where significant temperature increases have been recorded, disease-bearing mosquito population have increased in cooler, highland areas where malaria becomes a nation-wide pandemic.
