The Threat of Global Warming

The threatening issue of today for world is “Global Warming”. Global warming is gas contributing to global rise in temperature, such as carbon dioxide, water vapors and Methane gasses. The gasses in the atmosphere is said to be getting thickened and traps the heat being emitted from earth surface from escaping back into space and heating of earth disturbs nature’s balance and ecosystem. Global warming is an on-going process and it is due to human activities such as industrialization, increasing number of motor cars and deforestation.

Industrialization contributes to global warming which is a human activity. Since the industrial revolution, major development of industries and machines increased the usage of fossil fuels, such as burning of coal, oil, and gasses for running of machines and also domestic uses produces considerable amount of carbon dioxide (Co2) to the atmosphere. It is said that one gallon of gasoline when burned puts 19 pounds of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (Fenner, 2013). With increase in population and the consumption rate of humans have encouraged industries to increase in their amount of production, ultimately resulting in more use of fossil fuel and increased production of greenhouse gasses. The atmospheric greenhouse effect act as blanket and naturally keeps our planet warm enough for sustaining of life, the carbon leads to build up and thicken the volume of greenhouse gas and it trap the heat within the earth atmosphere instead of escaping into the space leading to rise in earth temperature (Fenner, 2013). Noticeable evidence of global warming is rising of global temperature, melting of snows and retreat of glacier lakes. Research have found out that the sinking of Ata Glacier of 100m within the year 2003 to 2009(Japanese alpine news,2013).

In today’s modern world almost all the people possess a motorcar and the movement of car has increased drastically from few decades, there is increase in burning of oils such as petrol and diesels emitting huge amounts of carbon to atmosphere. The annual Co2 concentration rate is said to be greatest during last 10 years(1995 – 2005) of average of 1.9 ppm per year, and that projection indicate that in next 50 to 100 years the Co2 concentration would double from pre-industrial revolution(IPCC,2007). The earth’s temperature is said to be rising drastically since the industrial revolution occurred and with the increase in population together with demands for individual. The rising of global temperature is almost about 0.
