Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation. The principle part of the atmosphere would only be about as thick as the skin of an onion. Realizing this, possible things by human beings can change the climate. It is believed that human beings are responsible for increasing in fossil fuel combustion. This enormous input of carbon dioxide is causing the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide to rise dramatically. Changes in patterns of rainfall, droughts and fires in some areas, flooding in other areas has increased likelihood of extreme events such as flooding, hurricanes, etc. The effects of increasing temperatures aren’t waiting for our far-flung future. They’re occurring right now. Signs are happening all over, and some of them are surprising. Melting of ice is high, especially more at the Earth’s poles. Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger. Ecosystems will change some species, some won’t be able to move and some could become extinct. Most of the world’s population lives on or near the coasts. Rising of ocean levels, will cause massive devastation and economic catastrophe to population centers worldwide. A rapid transition to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources will combat global warming, protect human health, create new jobs, protect habitat and wildlife, and ensure a secure, affordable energy future. It’s not just an environmental issue, but it affects our public health and national security. It’s an urgent matter of survival for everyone on the planet which is the most urgent threat facing by human beings today.Taking action from all of us working together can save our earth planet.
