Global warming is defined as rise in the average temperature of Earth, surface air and oceans. According to the studies conducted, it has been explained that the Earth’s temperature has risen by nearly 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last 100 years. It is one of the major environmental problems today. If this situation continues, then many adverse effects may take place on earth.

Global warming can be caused due to natural calamities or human activities. Natural causes of global warming include bursting of sunspots, solar output variations, volcanic explosions and changes in the Earth’s orbit. Human activities, which increase green house gases, including burning of solid waste, wood, and fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal, and deforestation. Release of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) from industrial processes generates more heat than normal and gets trapped in the atmosphere resulting in global warming.

The main gases contributing to this are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases are largely produced by thermal power plants that burn the fossil fuels, road vehicles, and industries. Another cause is deforestation, which is caused by cutting and burning of forests for building houses and industries.

Among all of the things that are being taught in our public schools, one thing that should have a little more time and dedication put into it is the subject of the natural causes of global warming along with the man made causes. It is extremely important to make sure that our future generations all understand that this is a serious situation that is not just going to go away on its own. We have to figure out everything that is the cause of global warming and put a stop to it.

Over the years we have manifested in forging the new environment that eventually degraded our resources and alter them. The naïve days are long gone and our planet is experiencing continues abuse from its inhabitants. With the rapid demands for the earth’s natural resources, the growth in population is the major drive of our global environment. Millions of species are at risk as climate change poses critical threats and eventually change our world.

As we come to realize of the grave environmental consequences- chemical pollution, landslides and the consecutive effects on the natural environment that fails to apprehend the course of life on earth. Our global environment lays at the edge an enormous effect that leads to climate change. We have evaded our biological ecosystem and destroyed the equilibrium that our planet endows us. As the increasing populace grows, the industry had endowed a dramatic change towards the global environment.
