The earth has been through a lot of changes these past few decades.

It is mostly related to
the issue of global warming. There is a lot of news about natural disasters that have affected
many countries such as earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, flood, drought and many more, and many
people have suffered from this. Now survival is a challenge for humans and the other living
things on our planet. The global warming happens naturally but because of human activities the
change is happening faster than is expected. The increasing of the earths temperature is known
as the greenhouse effect, but it is widely known as global warming.
There are a lot of causes of global warming. lobal warming is forcing ocean
temperature to rise, which is causing storms, including cyclones and hurricanes to intensify. The
greenhouse effect is when the sun heats up the earth in the path of which the atmosphere is being
passed through by the solar radiation and it is then absorbed at the earths surface. !ost of the
gases emitted are trapped and therefore the earth is losing less heat which results in global
warming. "nd this is a bad thing as the earth will warm up faster than expected and causes every
living thing to suffer. #owever, the main cause of global warming is due to human activities.
#umans are mostly responsible for global warming over the past few decades. It is due to their
thoughtless and irresponsible nature. #umans have burn a large amount of fossil fuel for their
own usage in their daily life. $eforestation has been going on for a long time, as the population
is increasing rapidly more trees are being cut down. !ore lands are being cleared for the use of
humans needs. %o there are not enough trees to absorb the carbon dioxide and therefore the
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. In addition, carbon emission has the highest
emission rate and concentration& it contributes mostly to the global warming. It is mostly
vehicles and airplanes that release this type of gas as exhaust. The chlorofluorocarbons and other
gasses are to blame for the depleting of the o'one layer. (hich has been protecting us from the
harmful ultra)violet radiation of the sun and it could damage. *hlorofluorocarbons are usually
emitted by refrigerator, air)conditioner and spray cans that are made by manufacturers.
There are a lot of effects of global warming. +irstly, it is due to abrupt seasonal changes,
there will be earlier spring arrival and the period of summer will last longer. It is because of that,
the glaciers in the north and south poles will melt as the earth is becoming warmer over these
past few decades. The causes of that, the sea level will increase due to glacial melting in the
north and south poles and also from the thermal expansion of the oceans as water temperature
rise. %ome of the coastal region may submerge and also increase the risk of seriously flooding in
many more places. %econdly, for agriculture, there will be failure of crop and there will be
diseases such as famine and it will arise throughout the marginal productive regions of the world,
and forestry will also be affected as the trees would suffer, which is all due to the droughts. "nd
so, the people living in poverty will suffer the most as they are more dependent on their natural
resources and they cant adapt to the climate changes easily. Thirdly, global warming may also
cause organisms to move from one place to another in order find a more suitable temperature or
they would have to adapt to the climate change if they dont want to face extinction. This
movement may also result in diseases such as malaria. The death toll would likely to increase if
this goes on for a long time as diseases would spread humans health would deteriorate especially
the elderly whose immune system is weak. +ourthly, the depletion of the o'one layer can damage
the human health such as skin cancer which is the biggest threat to their health, and also the eye
disease which consists of temporary disorders such as snow blindness and a more permanent
condition such as cataracts which have became very common. The increase in low)altitude o'one
will stunt the growth of agriculture in many places which would cause the planet to heat up.
To overcome this problem, some countries have moved from using fossil fuel to using
much more on the renewable ones such as nuclear power. This has reduced its emission on
carbon dioxide as nuclear power is much cleaner but is much more expensive to build its power
plant, so not every country can afford it. %econdly, there are more energy saving measures. %o,
their household heating bills would decrease. Thirdly, more and more people are aware of global
warming they are helping the environment by planting more trees to trap the carbon dioxide in
the forest. This could make a big difference so human should cut down less trees and plant more
trees. +ourthly, scientists are currently developing a car that could run on hydrogen to replace the
petrol and diesel for the vehicles. This could help the earth as there will be less carbon emission
in the atmosphere and could reduce the heat on earth which could save a lot of living things.
"s a conclusion, global warming is a danger to every living things and it is due to the
causes of human activities. $ue to the sudden change of climate and the earth becoming warmer,
there are a lot of diseases that are spread which is because of the drought and flood. "nd many
homes are submerged. ,lants and animals shift from their habitat to another to survive. The arctic
and "ntarctic are becoming warmer, this will result to the melting of glaciers. The sea level will
rise and cause the coastal areas to flood. #umans should stop cutting down trees or they could
plant trees to replace it, or there will not be much trees in future and the danger of global
warming will be worse as there will be a lot of deaths. #umans should use renewable resources
as this could save our environment. (e should do everything we can to save our planet from
disasters as we are the ones who started it in the first place.
