Cause & Effect of Global Warming

Global warming which is also known as climate change is the term used to illustrate a continuing expansion in the standard temperature of the earth’s surface air and seas since about 1950. (White, 2013) The climate change affects a permanent increase in the average temperature of the minor atmosphere. Although there are still several continuing argument on various groups, the scientist has managed to verify that the planet is in the condition of getting warmer in every year, it is now becoming the uttermost trouble to our planet. There could be loads of different factors that lead to Global warming, but it is mostly related to human interference, especially the release of continuous levels of greenhouse gases.

Global warming is identified to be having numerous impacts on the planet. The range of snow cover in the world has gradually fallen since 1970. As we can see, the reduction in Arctic sea ice is one of the most histrionic influences of Global warming. Scientists saw the lowest volume of Arctic ice cover ever recorded by the year of 2012. Several examination projects indicate that the Arctic sea will be totally ice-free during the summer months within a matter of years. Melting of polar ice, ice sheets and glaciers in many areas all at once is expected to significantly increase the sea levels. Recent research is showing that Global warming will likely be a factor to the extinction of up to one-third of faunas and one-half of the Earth's floras from their present scale by the year of 2080. (Lallanilla, 2013)

Certainly, humans are mostly to blame for all these terrible events. Without any doubt, the planet is getting warmed at an accelerated speed, the last three decades have been the hottest since 1850 and human activities are...
