    Global warming refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, which is attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. The greenhouse effect, which is a natural process that contributes to regulating the Earth's temperature, has intensified due to human-induced emissions. Key factors that contribute to global warming include agriculture and farming, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels. If left unaddressed, global warming may have serious impacts such as more frequent heatwaves, droughts, and rising sea levels. Possible solutions to address global warming include upgrading homes with renewable energy, reducing meat consumption, traveling smarter, and using energy more efficiently.

    Global Warming

    By:Kenrick Dillon
    Global Warming

    The world as we know it has been changing since the time of the
    first Industrial Revolution of 1760. The natural environment has
    been changed significantly to accommodate human
    activities,thus resulting in “Global Warming”.But the question
    you're asking now is “What is Global Warming?”
    What is Global Warming

    Well global warming in my own words is that it is


    the continuous increase of the earth's overall
    temperature which is cause by the pollution Of
    greenhouse gases such as Carbon dioxide,CFCs
    e.t.c are being absorbed into the earth's
    atmosphere and absorb solar radiation in which
    decreases the strenght of our Ozone layer so it
    doesn't protect is from much Solar radiation as
    well as its heat.
    The Green House Effect

    Thus Global Warming Brings us to another topic:


    The Greenhouse Effect
    What is The Greenhouse Effect

    Well The Greenhouse Effect is A completely Natural process


    in which the Suns rays shine into the Ozone layer but the
    Ozone layer absorbs the solar radiation from the Suns rays
    which in turn eats up the earth. That is why The Greenhouse
    Effect is related to Global Warming because is is a natural
    cause of Global Warming.
    Factors that Contribute to Global
    Warming
    1.Agriculture & Farming

    Livestock like sheep and cattle, produce methane, a greenhouse


    gas. When livestock grazed at a large scale, the amount of
    methane produced is a big contributor to global warming.

    2.Deforestation & Tree-Clearing

    Plants and trees play an important role in regulating the climate


    because they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and release
    oxygen back into it. Forests and bushland act as carbon sinks.
    Burning fossil fuels
    When we burn fossil fuels like coal, and gas to create
    electricity or power our cars,buses we release CO2
    pollution into the atmosphere.
    Impacts of Global Warming
    1.Heatwaves and droughts
    Despite downpours in some places, droughts and
    prolonged heatwaves will become common.Rising
    temperatures are not as surprising.
    2. Melting Ice
    Projectionist suggest climate change impacts within
    the next 100 years, if not sooner, the world’s glaciers
    will have disappeared, as will the Polar ice cap, and the
    huge Antarctic ice shelf, Greenland may be green
    again, and snow will have become a rare phenomenon
    at what are now the world’s most popular ski resorts
    Rising Sea Levels
    Climate change impacts rising sea levels. Average sea
    level around the world rose about 8 inches (20 cm) in
    the past 100 years; climate scientists expect it to rise
    more and more rapidly in the next 100 years as part of
    climate change impacts.
    Possible Solutions To Global
    Warming
    1.Upgrade your home with more renewable energies,
    like solar. To don't waste energy and don't let the
    sun's energy go to waste.
    2.Try to save, store and eat all the food you buy.
    Freeze foods if possible. Consume more easy on the
    environment foods like rice, beans and wheat. They
    are all cheap, healthy and environmentally-friendly.!
    Meat, especially beef is creating a climate crisis all
    over the world.
    1. Travel smarter.
    Transportation is now the largest source of carbon
    emissions in the United States. No matter where you live,
    travel by car or airplane contributes heavily to our shared
    carbon footprint. Take public transit, biking, or walking
    when possible – it’s good for your health, your wallet, and
    the planet.
    2.Use energy more efficiently. Unplug items when they
    aren’t in use, buy goods with high energy-efficient
    standards, and consider making the switch to renewable
    energy. All of these can help to help reduce your personal
    impact
