My summary


My blogger is about the dangerous problem which faces all worlds nowadays and in future. This problem is global warming which mean increasing the temperature of Earth. This problem has many causes and effects and also it has some possible solutions. The main causes of global warming are that the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases on atmosphere. As we can see from the diagram which shows different greenhouse gases which effect in the temperature of earth. It shows that CO2 is the most important followed in descending order by methane, CFCs, ozone and nitrous oxide. However there are many activities that cause emission of CO2 such as Carbon dioxide from cars, airplanes, ships, factories and when we burn fossil fuel. A further cause is that widespread deforestation has also had a negative impact, releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere. Trees and other plant play a role in balancing CO2 and Oxygen level. There are many effects of global warming. The major effect is increasing sea level. Rise of sea level has many effects on our environment. For example, harricune of Katriena which killed million of people on it is one of the effects of increasing sea level. There are some possible solutions for that problem like use clean wind and solar energy. We also must make our cars go on a gallon of gas. Yet another solution is that planting trees and forest restoration which can help to absorb some of excess in the atmosphere, as well as providing habitat for a wide range of very special wildlife, and giving it a better chance of adapting to climate change.

Sea level rise


One of the main effects of global warming is that sea level rise. It is increasing in sea level. Sea level rise can be a product of global warmingg through two main processes: expansion of sea water as the oceans warm, and melting of ice over land. The impact of this include increased coastal erosion, higher storm-surge flooding, inhibition of primary production processes, more extensive coastal inundation, changes in surface water quality and groundwater characteristics, increased loss of property and coastal habitats, increased flood risk and potential loss of life, loss of no monetary cultural resources and values, impacts on agriculture and aquaculture through decline in soil and water quality, and loss of tourism, recreation, and transportation functions.

Effects of Global warming


There are many effects of Global warming on weather, oceans, ecosystem, economic and the environment. Carbon emmisions is a huge player in effecting the enviroment. it acutally traps heat in the atmosphere from the sun. this heats up the planet, melting the artic ice and devastating many species. this is because we are burining fossile fuel and polluting the air. The ocean is getting effected, aswells as us humans.
All this is also effecting the weather greatly, raising the sea level too, and litteraly heating up the planet. All this is kiling the planet we live on, and if something is not done sooner than later...then we might loose everything we took advantage of.

Heating water causes


There are many causes of Global warming. One of the main causes is heating water. That’s become when the water from oceans evaporate and greenhouse gases send to the atmosphere. Through global warming, the surface waters of the oceans could become warmer, increasing the stress on ocean ecosystems, such as coral reefs. High water temperatures can cause a damaging process called coral bleaching. When corals bleach, they expel the algae that give them their color and nourishment. The corals turn white and, unless the water temperature cools, they die. Added warmth also helps spread diseases that affect sea creatures. When the world heats it gradually increases the temperature of the oceans which serve as the largest CO2 sink. As the oceans heat up they release CO2 which is stored in them.

Causes of Global warming


One of the biggest problems facing the world today is global warming. Many scientists believe that our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases is having a heating effect on the atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human life. The emission of carbon dioxide is become from many activates that we need to run our life and we do it everyday such as factories, cars and airplanes. It can also become from burning of fossil fuels. While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to create the greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth warm enough to support life, human use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess greenhouse gases. By driving cars, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. Another important cause to the problem is methane, which is released by farm animals and rotting rubbish and vegetation.
