Earth is surrounded by a layer of gases called greenhouses that absorbs a

portion of heat from ultraviolet rays coming to earth in order to maintain

temperature of earth required for human survival i.e. 15 degree Celsius

When fossil fuels are burn with oxygen they produce harmful gases such as

nitrous oxides and carbon dioxide.

Burning of fossil fuels is an exothermic reaction and produces warm gases.

Warm gases are lighter than air therefore they move up to the layer of

atmosphere.

Potential Causes

The ultraviolet rays are continuously reaching to the earth from sun, carbon

dioxide absorbs the heat energy from ultraviolet rays so, the ultraviolet rays

don't reflect back completely and the heat absorbed within greenhouse gases

elevate the temperature of earth.

Fossil fuels are likewise involved in increased levels of atmospheric

methane and nitrous oxides, though they are not the main source of these

gases. In the concluding 150 years, burning of fossil fuels has caused a 25

percent upsurge in amount of carbon dioxide in our air

Projected temperature increment is impacting earth massively.

Coastal areas may flood due to sea level rise, changed weather patterns

can result in more extreme weather happenings, and domestic

agricultural regions could undergo an increase in the frequency of dearth.

In the year 2005, hurricane Katrina flooded large area of New Orleans,

Louisiana; Scientists anticipated that extreme climate happenings such as

hurricane would become more prominent with increase in global

warming

The effects of Global warming

The increase in temperature due to greenhouse gases causes change in climatic

pattern on entire earth, this climatic change is termed as global warming

Global warming has a lion's share of consideration to date. Scientist has been

studying global warming since 1800s

The effects of Global warming are prominent at the present, forest fires is one of

them.

During forest fires the carbon disbursed in plants is released back, causing a rush

in carbon dioxide emission.

The effects of Global warming

Carbon sinks are an excuse to retain burning fossil fuels.

The only effective way to diminish greenhouse gases is to less the amount of fossil

fuel we consume

The use of nuclear energy, tidal energy, wind energy and solar energy could lessen

the consumption of fossil fuel.

We are well equipped with a clean, easily accessible and renewable energy resource

that is water. Water is being used for generating power and neither it emits

greenhouse gases nor causes Global warming
