Global warming is a phenomenon which leads to heating up the surface of the Earth which in turn causes havoc climatic changes which harms the atmosphere and even leads to the extinction of certain species. Global warming is mainly caused due to the ever-increasing green house gases, increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and other harmful pollutants which increases temperature.
The major causes of global warming include the vigorous pollution of the air and water. The factories are continuously emitting harmful gases and smoke which is polluting the air and also forms smog which is even more harmful. Also, the waste residues of the industries and factories are directly disposed off to water bodies without any treatment which causes water pollution.
The excessive emission of greenhouse gases also adds on to heating up the Earth to a large extent, the emission of the most harmful greenhouse gas that is Carbon Dioxide CO<sub>2</sub> is ever increasing with more and more use and burning of the fossil fuels.
The use of machineries such as Air Conditioner, Fridges emit CFC’s (Chloro Fluro Carbon) this element is one of the greatest evils which causes Global Warming and this is rapidly increasing.
Its high time for us to take Global Warming seriously and adopt measures accordingly.
