Global warming is due to green house effect. It is caused due to increase in the Green house gasses. These green house gasses trap the sun’s radiation and warms up the planet.
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and water vapor are the major green house gases, and the increase of such gases increases global warming…
Remember that Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another. Heat is also an energy that directly or indirectly causes rain, drought, forest fire, bush fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones, melting of the ice at the polar, sea level increase, and lots more. Remember if there is a drought in a place, somewhere in the planet there has been a flood. If the summers get hotter, then the winters get colder. This phenomena is in such a way that it has unlimited number of negative effects on the planet we live and these negative effects fosters its own growth. There by fastens the process much faster than we imagined.
Few years back people were talking about saving our planet for our kids, now, its time to save our planet for ourselves.
