Causes and Effects of Global Warming

Causes:-

There are various kinds of causes that lead to the global warming. The main cause of the global warming is the human activities, such as the using of automobiles, the fumes which come from factories, and the burning of fossil fuels. In different words, these automobiles, factories and fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere. Other substance known as greenhouse gases is also one of the dangerous causes of the global warming, and it can heat the gazes, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), largely due to the combustion of oil, coal, natural gas as well as other industrial emission[1]. And these gases are released into the earth's atmosphere, which can affect the climate in a very bad way. Another cause of this serious issue is the deforestation (cutting down trees), and these trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air[2]. Overall, global warming is one of the dangerous environmental issues, and there are some causes of it.

Effects:-

The impact of global warming is realy harms the humans. In other words, there are some effects and consequences of this serious issue. Firstly, the rising of sea levels, and the global warming will not just make sea levels rise, it will also affect sea life becuase even the small increases in the temperature can kill corals. Another impact of global warming is that some diseases are likely to be spread more easily. Mosquitoes are a major carrier of tropical diseases. Accordingly, Malaria outbreaks are usually confined to where the minimum winter temperature reaches to no lower than 16 degrees Celsius[3]. One more effect of the global warming is that some areas may become too dry for farming. Consequently, the chance of agriculture will be very small; as well, it will reduce the agricultural yeilds. Another dangerous impact is the duration, and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes. To sum up, there are alot of negative impacts of the high increase of tempreture and the global warming that harm the harm the world.
