An Introduction to Global Warming


Global warming is basically classified as the environmental climate change, increasing the temperature on earth because as the earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent. One of the main problems of global warming is not how much the world is warming but how fast it is warming. Carbonic emissions and other harmful gases released from fuel exhausts and greenhouse emissions disrupt the ozone layer,

increasing global temperature and causing sea levels to rise due to thermal expansion,melting of glacier sheets,warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased temperature stratification, ravaging crops,flooding coastlines and oceans.

 

The ocean which serves as a sink for carbon dioxide, takes up more than would otherwise remain in the atmosphere; therefore increased levels of CO2 have led to ocean acidification. Furthermore, as the temperature of the oceans increase, they become less able to absorb excess CO2. Global warming is projected to have a number of effects on the oceans.

  1. thank you Abdulrahman.
    your article was perfect, and you specified the issue also. but if you developed the solution, would be very beneficial, and if you also you didn't mentioned the gasses. i hope that you satisfy with my comments and i wish you luck.
