Global Warming is the gradual increase of the earth’s temperature. This rise in temperature disrupts the climatic conditions of the earth. It is mainly caused due to the the greenhouse effect and the emission of harmful greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, deforestation, pollution and the emission of chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs.

Global warming can lead to increased temperatures, melting of ice caps and depletion of the ozone layer. The depletion of the ozone layer can result in exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiations of sunlight. It an also result in the change in weather patterns leading to loss of habitat or worsening of living conditions for flora and fauna.

The release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere is the major cause of global warming. It can be reduced by switching to the use of biofuels and renewable sources of energy, reducing emission of gasses through carpooling of public transport and decreased used of appliances that emit CFCs.

Global warming can have drastic effects on the environment and prove hurtful for the future generations. Hence it is necessary to take measures in order to curb its rise to help safeguard the environment.
