The climate on Earth has always been a subject of change. From history we know that there was an ice age on the planet Earth that ended about 10,000 years ago. The time has passed; “people have developed advanced industry, and technology, discovered fossil fuels and

the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history.” Global warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, which include carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and/or deforestation. These gases would normally escape Earth, but heat is being trapped. Carbon dioxide being released into the air creates a blanket like effect over the atmosphere. There are many impacts of global warming but some are

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING? Global warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on EARTH. As the earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of the air near the Earth´s surface has risen a little less than 1° Celsius (0.74 ± 0.18°C, or 1.3 ± 0.32° Fahrenheit). Which does not seem that much? It is responsible for the conspicuous increase in storms, floods and raging forest

of the relationship between weather and climate is El Nino, which is weather with local, short-term consequences as well as with global, long-term importance. In the ort-term. El Nino can bring a dry summer for some regions and a wet winter for others; however, over the course of many years, the number of times El Nino conditions occur may decade changes in the global climate. Variations in the behaviour of the weather over long time periods, such as from one century another, are referred to as

Global warming: cause and mitigation Name: Institution: Introduction Global warming refers to climate change that causes an increase in the average temperature of the lower atmosphere. Though global warming has many different causes, it is greatly associated with human activities especially those that leads to release of greenhouse gases. This paper aims at evaluating both the scientific basis of global warming and the role of human beings in global warming. The paper achieves this by comparing
