    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.

    Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average temperature, primarily caused by human activities. It occurs due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat from the Sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. The main contributors to global warming are the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes.

    Consequences:
    Climate Change: Global warming disrupts Earth’s climate patterns, leading to changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather events.

    Melting Ice: Rising temperatures cause glaciers and ice caps to melt, contributing to the rise in sea levels. It affects the wildlife that depends on icy habitats.

    Health Impacts: Climate change associated with global warming can have detrimental effects on human health. Heat-related illnesses, increased prevalence of vector-borne diseases, air pollution, and food and water shortages are among the health risks exacerbated by a warming climate.

    One vital approach to combat global warming is a transition to renewable energy sources. By replacing fossil fuels with clean alternatives like solar, wind, and hydropower. Agriculture and food systems also play a significant role in global warming. Implementing sustainable agricultural practices such as organic farming, agroforestry, and precision agriculture can help reduce emissions.
    Everybody should plant trees in order to reduce the global warming.
