Global warming a rising demon
Introduction Global warming is no longer just a topic for debate—it's a harsh reality impacting our planet every day. Caused primarily by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, global warming is the gradual increase in Earth’s average temperature. Its consequences are far-reaching, threatening not just the environment, but human health, food security, and the economy. What Causes Global Warming? The main driver of global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, creating a “greenhouse effect” that warms the planet. Major contributors include: Burning coal, oil, and natural gas for energy Deforestation and land use changes Industrial processes and agriculture Effects of Global Warming The impacts of global warming are already visible: Melting ice caps and rising sea levels: Glaciers and polar ice are melting, contributing to ...
