Global warming is the phenomenon of a gradual increase in the temperature near
the earth’s surface. This phenomenon has been observed over the past one or two
centuries.
This change has disturbed the climatic pattern of the earth.
However, the concept of global warming is quite controversial but the scientists
have provided relevant data in support of the fact that the temperature of the earth
is rising constantly.
There are several causes of global warming, which have a negative effect on
humans, plants and animals.
These causes may be natural or might be the outcome of human activities.
In order to curb the issues, it is very important to understand the negative impacts
of global warming.

Climate scientists have since the mid-20th century gathered detailed

observations of various weather phenomena (such as temperatures,
precipitation, and storms) and of related influences on climate (such as
ocean currents and the atmosphere’s chemical composition).

related influences on climate (such as ocean currents and the atmosphere’s chemical
composition).
These data indicate that Earth’s climate has changed over almost every conceivable
timescale since the beginning of geologic time and that human activities since at least
the beginning of the Industrial Revolution have a growing influence over the pace and
extent of present day climate change.
Global warming Weather refers to atmospheric conditions that occur locally over short
periods of time from minutes to hours or days.
Familiar examples include rain, snow, clouds, winds, floods, or thunderstorms.
What Is Global
Warming?

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the
pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily
fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in
Earth’s atmosphere.
This term is not interchangeable with the term "climate change.
"Since the pre-industrial period, human activities are estimated to have
increased Earth’s global average temperature by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8
degrees Fahrenheit), a number that is currently increasing by more than 0.2
degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade.
The current warming trend is unequivocally the result of human activity since the
1950s and is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over millennia.
Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have
come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.
These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are synonymous with the
term.
Changes observed in Earth’s climate since the mid-20th century are driven by human
activities, particularly fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse
gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere, raising Earth’s average surface temperature. Natural
processes, which have been overwhelmed by human activities, can also contribute to
climate change, including internal variability (e.g., cyclical ocean patterns like El Niño,
La Niña and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation) and external forcings (e.g., volcanic
activity, changes in the Sun’s energy output, variations in Earth’s orbit).
Scientists use observations from the ground, air, and space, along with computer
models, to monitor and study past, present, and future climate change.
Climate data records provide evidence of climate change key indicators, such as
global land and ocean temperature increases; rising sea levels; ice loss at
Earth’s poles and in mountain glaciers; frequency and severity changes in
extreme weather such as hurricanes, heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and
precipitation; and cloud and vegetation cover changes.
Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet’s overall temperature.
Though this warming trend has been going on for a long time, its pace has
significantly increased in the last hundred years due to the burning of fossil fuels.
As the human population has increased, so has the volume of fossil fuels
burned.
Fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas, and burning them causes what is
known as the “greenhouse effect” in Earth’s atmosphere.
The greenhouse effect is when the sun’s rays penetrate the atmosphere, but
when that heat is reflected off the surface cannot escape back into space.
Gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels prevent the heat from leaving the
atmosphere.
These greenhouse gasses are carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, water vapor,
methane, and nitrous oxide.
The excess heat in the atmosphere has caused the average global temperature
to rise overtime, otherwise known as global warming.
Global warming has presented another issue called climate change.
Sometimes these phrases are used interchangeably, however, they are different.
Climate change refers to changes in weather patterns and growing seasons
around the world.
It also refers to sea level rise caused by the expansion of warmer seas and
melting ice sheets and glaciers.
Global warming causes climate change, which poses a serious threat to life on
Earth in the forms of widespread flooding and extreme weather.
Scientists continue to study global warming and its impact on Earth.
 CAUSES

Greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth and trap heat from the sun.
This leads to global warming and climate change.
The world is warming faster than at any time in recorded history.
Generación de energía
Energy generation

The generation of electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and
natural gas causes a large part of global emissions.
Most of the electricity is still produced with fossil fuels; only a quarter of it comes
from wind, solar and other renewable sources.
1. Increase in greenhouse gases
The excessive industrial activity that has occurred in the world since the Industrial
Revolution is the main cause of global warming.
The vast majority of processes of this type release an enormous amount of
greenhouse gases that, once in the atmosphere, deplete the ozone layer and, at the
same time, expose the Earth directly to the sun's rays.
Carbon dioxide or CO2 is the best known gas of all for being the main responsible for
preventing heat from escaping in the lower layers of the atmosphere; As confirmed by
National Geographic, its production has increased by some 6 billion metric tons per
year since 1990, that is, something like 20%. There is also nitrous oxide and many
others derived from the production of electricity.

2. Burning of fossil fuels

A good part of the greenhouse gases are generated after the burning of fossil fuels,
that is, all those that are derived from products such as coal, oil and natural gas. We
see this, for example, in large urban centers with the massive burning of fuel by cars
and other means of heavy transport.

The negative effect of fossil fuels is double if we take into account air pollution and the
health problems that can result from this circumstance. For example, the World Health
Organization estimates that there are currently close to 300 million people in the world
with asthma, a figure that will increase proportionally to the presence of harmful
substances in the environment.
 Conclusión
Stopping global warming fundamentally requires measures promoted by high-
ranking organizations, governments and institutions of global scope.
However, that does not mean that all of us as citizens cannot contribute to
this process.
On the contrary, there are different ways to do it:
recycle daily
We can control the level of waste generated on a daily basis, recycling
plastics, clothing and other materials. In addition, it is necessary to carry out
an adequate classification of the waste to throw each waste in the appropriate
container and take advantage of materials, articles or products that have
completed their first life cycle.
Switch to a responsible consumption model
It is important to know what our true needs are as consumers.
It is not about buying just because, it is about doing it responsibly and based
on a real need and not on a whim.
