Understanding Global Warming Effects

The document discusses global warming, defining it as the heating of the Earth's atmosphere due to greenhouse gases trapping heat from the sun. Global warming is increasing temperatures and causing natural disasters, rising sea levels, and damage to plants, animals, and humans. If not addressed, global warming could raise Earth's temperature by 4-5 degrees Celsius by 2050.

GLOBAL WARMING

Good morning to my respected lecture Mdm Daisy and all my dear friend. I would like to
present a speech on the global warming at this occasion. The global warming is continuously
increasing environmental issues all over the world. Day by day, we are feeling great changes in the
atmosphere and climate of the earth. The earth atmosphere is getting warm gradually however the
process has become fast in last few years. The natural disasters we are facing now a day such as
tsunami, storm, and thunder are the result of global warming.

What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up. It happens when
greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the
temperature. This hurt many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die.

Many reasons may be there for the Global Warming, Primary and main cause is considered to
be the Green House Effect. This effect is mainly caused by Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Chlorofluoro
Carbon, Nitrous oxides etc gases. These gases form a cover in the atmosphere around the Earth
through which hot rays of the Sun can enter to the Earth but cannot exit. So, the heat of the Sun
remains in the lower circle of the Earth making the temperature rise.

It is feared that the world may experience rise in temperature of about 4° to 5°C by 2050. The
average temperature of the Earth has risen by about 1°C in last five centuries and of this half of the
warming is caused in Twentieth Century alone. The Global Warming is increasing at an alarming rate.

Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. Global warming makes the sea rise, and
when the sea rises, the water covers many low land islands. This is a big problem for many of the
plants, animals, and people on islands.

Global warming is doing many things to people as well as animals and plants. It is killing algae,
but it is also destroying many huge forests. The pollution that causes global warming is linked to acid
rain. Acid rain gradually destroys almost everything it touches. Global warming is also causing many
more fires that wipe out whole forests. This happens because global warming can make the Earth
very hot. In forests, some plants and trees leaves can be so dry that they catch on fire.

Due to the rise in average temperature of the Earth, agricultural crops, forests and life growth
is affected adversely. It also changes balanced equations of marine life. Melting of glaciers will result
in the rise of sea level posing a threat upon the habitat of coastal areas. Because of these dangerous
effects of ‘Global Warming’, at the international level measures are taken in the form of
conferences, agreements and research.
