Causes and Effects of Global Warming

The effects climate change commonly referred to global warming are usually far reaching and the effects have since led to enormous social and ecological changes. The global warming have been initiated directly or and indirectly by human activities that usually lead to greenhouse gases emission into the environment. Some Scientists believe that climatic changes are driven by human activities (Haldar, 2011). Numerous evidences t climate change have been cited including rising in sea levels, increasing of snow cover especially in the Northern Hemisphere, and instrumental temperatures among other. Nonetheless, numerous ways causes and effects usually lead to these climate change evidences and the causes and effects of global warming are discussed in this essay.

The primary cause of global warming is the emission of carbon dioxide from the burning fossil fuel burning mainly from power plants and locomotive. Numerous nations including the United States have the addition of the use of electricity from burning coals have increasingly emitted enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. For instance, 40 percent of the United States’ carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere originates from production of electricity. Moreover, nearly its 93 percent emission is from burning coal that is also pegged on the utilization of electricity in industries (Haldar, 2011). Therefore, the immense production of electricity from burning coal in the United States among other countries will only increase emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere thereby increasing the effects of global warming.

Carbon dioxide emission from burning gasoline is another cause of global warming. This cause is also increasi...

...ea levels. Despite the increase melting of massive ice in these regions, nearly all nations in the world are experiencing the effects including destruction of land and properties, permanent relocation, and loss of lives among others (Haldar, 2011). Global warming is predicted to increase with effects that are more adverse. However, different governments under United Nations have since been making moves to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere; however, different numerous reports have indicated that nations are doing little to solve the situation. Therefore, with little effort to reduce emission of the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the global warming will increase and humanity among other living things are bound to suffer even more.
