Global Warming Essay 1 (100 words)

Global warming is a major atmospheric issue all over the world. Our earths surface becoming
hot day by day by trapping the suns heat and rise in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The
bad effects of it increasing day by day and causing major problems to the living of human being.
It has become one of the subjects of big social issues which need social awareness to a great
level. People should know its meaning, causes, effects and solutions to solve it immediately.
People should come forth together and try to solve it in order to save life on the earth.

Global Warming Essay 2 (150 words)

Global warming is a big issue of the atmosphere on the earth which cause continuous rise in the
surface temperature of the Earth. It has been estimated that in next 50 or 100 year the
temperature of earth would be increased to a great level which would create big problem of
living on earth. The highly known and most basic cause of increasing the Earths temperature is
continuous rise in the atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Rise in the carbon dioxide level is the use fossil fuels like coal and oil, deforestation (cut down
of plants) by the human beings on Earth. Decreasing number of the plants on the earth increases
the level of carbon dioxide, as plants are the main source of the using carbon dioxide released by
the human being (as a by-product of respiration) and other means. Increasing level of Earths
temperature creates lots of problems like sea level becomes hotter and higher, glaciers melt,
flood, strong storms, lack of food, diseases, death, etc.

Global Warming Essay 3 (200 words)

Global warming is the steady and continuous rise in the level of earth temperature. Out earth
surface is becoming hotter day by day just because of some unnoticeable habits of human beings
all across the world. Global warming has become the most worrying threat for the earths
atmosphere as it is reducing the life possibilities on the earth day by day through a continuous
and steady declining process.

Before planning the solutions of the global warming, we must think about the causes and effects
of it on the atmosphere in order to get sure that we are in right direction of getting full relief from
this issue. The continuous warming of the earth surface is the increasing emission of CO2 in the
environment. However, the increasing level of CO2 is caused due to many reasons like
deforestation, use of coal, oil, gas, burning of fossil fuels, burning of gasoline for transportation,
unnecessary use of electricity, etc which in turn causes rise in earth temperature. Again it
becomes the reason of rising sea level, occurrence of flooding, storms, cyclone, ozone layer
damage, changing weather patterns, fear of epidemic diseases, lack of food, death, etc. We
cannot blame any single entity for this as each and every human being is responsible for the
increasing threat of global warming which can be solved only by the global awareness and kind
efforts of everyone.

Global Warming Essay 4 (250 words)

Global warming is a steady process of continuous rise in the level of Earth temperature. Global
warming has become one of the biggest problems faced by the world now. It is believed that
increasing level of carbon dioxide gas and other greenhouse gases on the earth are the main
reasons of heating the atmosphere of earth. If it is not noticed and solved immediately by the
efforts of all countries worldwide, it would boom its effects and cause end of life on the earth a
day.
Its threatening effects are increasing day by day and creating danger for human life. Global
warming is the main and only reason of rising sea level, flooding, changes in weather patterns,
storms, cyclone, epidemic diseases, lack of food, death, etc. The only solution to solve the issue
of global warming is the individual level social awareness. People must be aware of its meaning,
cause, bad effects and other things about global warming to get it eradicated from worldwide and
make the possibilities of life on earth forever as usual.
People should stop producing C02 by just stopping their bad habits such as stop the use of oil,
coal and gas, inhibit cutting plants (as they are main source to absorb carbon dioxide and
produce oxygen), minimize the use of electricity, etc. Just small changes in everyones life all

over the world, we can be able to stop the huge negative changes in the atmosphere by lessening
the effects of global warming and even stop it a day.

Global Warming Essay 5 (300 words)

Global warming is the continuous rise in warming of the earths surface due to the increased
level of carbon dioxide gas in the environment. Global warming has become a big issue which
need to be solved by the positive initiation of countries all over the world. As gradual increase in
the earth temperature calls various threats as well as makes the existence of life hard on this
planet. It enhances the gradual and permanent changes in the earths climate and thus affecting
the natures balance.
Rise in the CO2 level on the earth impacts the human life to a great level through continued heat
waves, sudden occurrence of strong storms, unpredictable and unexpected cyclone, damage to
ozone layer, floods, heavy rain, drought, lack of food, diseases, death etc. It has been researched
that increasing emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere is because of the nonstop burning of fossil
fuels, usage of fertilizers, cutting forests, extra use of electricity, gases used in refrigerator etc.
According to the statistics, it has been noted that by 2020 global warming may boom its bad
effects if it is not taken under control as CO2 emissions are increasing continuously.
The increasing level of CO2 causes greenhouse effect on the earth in which all the greenhouse
gases (water vapour, CO2, methane, ozone) absorbs thermal radiation, which in turn re-radiated
to all directions and come back to earth surface causing increase in the temperature of earth
surface and lead to global warming.
In order to stop the life threatening effects of the global warming, we should take a permanent
break from all the bad habits causing increase in the CO2 level and other green house gases
leading to the green house effect and then earth surface warming. We should stop deforestation,
lessen the use of electricity, stop the burning of wood, etc.

Global Warming Essay 6 (400 words)

Global warming is the big environmental issue we are facing today as a greatest challenge which
we need to get it solved permanently. In fact, global warming is the continuous and steady
process of increasing in the temperature of earth surface. It needs to be discussed widely by all
countries worldwide to stop the effects of it. It has impacted the natures balance, biodiversity
and climatic conditions of the earth over decades.
Green house gases like CO2, methane are the main reasons of increasing the global warming on
the earth which directly impacts the rising sea levels, melting ice caps, glaciers, unexpected
changing climate which represents life threats on the earth. According to the statistic, it has been
estimated that earth temperature has increased to a great level since mid 20th century due to the
increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations globally because of the increased demand
of the human living standard.
It has been measured that year like 1983, 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1991 as the warmest six years of
the past century. This increasing global warming calls the unexpected disasters on the earth like
flood, cyclones, tsunami, drought, landslides, ice melting, lack of food, epidemic diseases, death
etc thus causing imbalance to the natures phenomenon and indicating end of life existence on
this planet.
Increasing global warming lead to the more water evaporation from earth into the atmosphere,
which in turn become a greenhouse gas and again causes rise in the global warming. Other
processes like burning of fossil fuels, use of fertilizers, rise in other gases like CFCs,
tropospheric ozone and nitrous oxide are also the reasons of global warming. The ultimate causes
of such reasons are the technological advancement, population explosion, increasing demand of
industrial expansion, deforestation, priority towards urbanisation, etc.
We are disturbing the natural processes through the deforestation and use of technological
advancement like global carbon cycle, making hole in ozone layer, etc and allowing the UV rays
to come on earth thus increasing global warming. Plants are the ultimate source of removing
extra carbon dioxide from the air and making it in balance thus by just stopping the deforestation
and enhancing people for more plantation we can get success of reducing the global warming to

a great level. Controlling the population growth is also a great hand towards reducing the global
warming all through the world as it lessens the use of destructive technologies on the earth.

What is Global Warming
Global warming is a gradual process of heating of earths surface and whole environment
including oceans, ice caps, etc. The global rise in atmospheric temperature has been clearly
noticed in the recent years. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in the past
century there is increase in the earths surface average temperature by around 1.4 degree
Fahrenheit (means 0.8 degrees Celsius). It has also been estimated that global temperature may
increase by another 2 to 11.5 degrees F in the next century.
Causes of Global Warming
There are many causes of the global warming, some are natural causes and some are human
made causes. The most important cause of global warming is greenhouse gases which are
generated by some natural processes as well as human activities. The increase in the level of
green house gases has been seen in the 20th century because of the increasing population,
economy and use of energy. Increasing demand of industrialization in the modern world to fulfill
almost each need is causing the release of variety of green house gases through many industrial
processes in the atmosphere.
The release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) gas has been increased in the
recent years by 10-fold. The release of carbon dioxide gas varies according to the natural and
industrial processes including photosynthesis and oxidation cycles. Methane is another green
house gas release in the atmosphere by the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials. Other
greenhouse gases are like oxides of nitrogen (nitrous oxide), halocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs), chlorine and bromine compounds, etc. Such green house gases get collected to the
atmosphere and disturb the radiative balance of atmosphere. They have capability to absorb heat
radiations and cause warming of the earth surface.

Another cause of global warming is ozone depletion means declination of ozone layer over
Antarctica. Ozone layer is declining day by day by increasing release of chlorofluorocarbon gas.
It is a human generated cause of global warming. Chlorofluorocarbon gas is used at many places
as aerosol propellants in the industrial cleaning fluids and in the refrigerators, the gradual release
of which causes declination to the ozone layer in the atmosphere.
Ozone layer causes protection to the earth surface by inhibiting the harmful sun rays to coming
to the earth. However, gradually declining ozone layer is the big indication of increasing global
warming of the earth surface. Harmful ultraviolet sun rays are entering to the biosphere and get
absorbed by the green houses gases which ultimately increase the global warming. According to
the statistics, it has been estimated that the size of ozone hole has been twice the size of
Antarctica (more than 25 million km2) by 2000. There is no any clear trend of ozone layer
declination in the winter or summer seasons.
Presence of various aerosols in the atmosphere is also causing earths surface temperature to
increase. Atmospheric aerosols are fully capable to scatter (causes cooling to the planet) and
absorb (makes air warm) the solar and infrared radiations. They are also capable to change the
microphysical and chemical properties of the clouds and possibly their lifetime and extent. The
increasing amount of aerosols in the atmosphere is because of human contribution. Dust is
produced by agriculture, organic droplets and soot particles are produced by biomass burning,
and aerosols are produced by the industrial processes through the burning of wide variety of
products in the manufacturing process. Various emissions by means of transport generate
different pollutants which get converted to the aerosols through many chemical reactions in the
atmosphere.
Effects of Global Warming
The effects of global warming have been very clear in the recent years because of increasing
sources of global warming. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, it has been recorded that
there were 150 glaciers located in the Montanas Glacier National Park however because of
increasing effect of global warming, only 25 glaciers are left. Huge level climate changes are
making hurricanes more dangerous and powerful. Natural storms are getting so strong by taking
6

energy from temperature difference (of cold upper atmosphere and warm Tropical Ocean). Year
2012 has been recorded as hottest year since 1895 and year 2013 together with 2003 as the
warmest year since 1880.
Global warming causes lot of climate changes in the atmosphere such as increasing summer
season, decreasing winter season, increasing temperature, changes in air circulation patterns, jet
stream, rain without season, melting ice caps, declining ozone layer, occurrence of heavy storms,
cyclones, flood, drought, and so many effects.
Solutions of Global Warming
Many awareness programmes and programmes to reduce global warming have been run and
implemented by the government agencies, business leaders, private sectors, NGOs, etc. Some of
the damages through global warming cannot be returned by the solution (like melting of ice
caps). However, we should not get back and try everyones best to reduce the effects of global
warming by reducing the human causes of global warming. We should try to reduce the
emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and adopt some climate changes which are
already happening for years. Instead of using electrical energy we should try using clean energy
or energy produced by solar system, wind and geothermal. Reducing the level of coal and oil
burning, use of transportation means, use of electrical devices, etc may reduce the global
warming to a great level.

Global warming is a slow steady rise in Earth's surface temperature.[1] Temperatures today are
0.74 C (1.33 F) higher than 150years ago.[2] Many scientists say that in the next 100200 years,
temperatures might be up to 6 degrees Celsius higher than they were before the effects of global
warming were discovered.
The basic cause seems to be a rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide, as predicted by Svante
Arrhenius a hundred years ago. When people use fossil fuels like coal and oil, this adds carbon
dioxide to the air. When people cut down the Earth's forests (deforestation), this means less
carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere by plants.
If the Earth's temperature becomes hotter the sea level will also become higher. This is partly
because water expands when it gets warmer. It is also partly because warm temperatures
make glaciers melt. The sea level rise may cause coastal areas to flood. Weather patterns,
including where and how much rain or snow there is, will change. Deserts will probably increase
in size. Colder areas will warm up faster than warm areas. Strong storms may become more
likely and farming may not make as much food. These effects will not be the same everywhere.
The changes from one area to another are not well known.
People in government and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have talked about
global warming. They do not agree on what to do about it. Some things that could reduce
warming are to burn less fossil fuels, adapt to any temperature changes, or try to change the
Earth to reduce warming. TheKyoto Protocol tries to reduce pollution from the burning of fossil
fuels. Most governments have agreed to it. Some people in government think nothing should
change.

Climate change has happened many times over the history of the Earth, including the coming
and going of ice ages. For more recent centuries, we have more details.
Since the 1800s, people have recorded the daily temperature. By about 1850, there were
enough places measuring temperature so that scientists could know the
global average temperature. From 1920 to 1940, the temperature got warmer. From 1940 to
1970, the temperature got slightly cooler. From 1970 to today, the average temperature for
the world has increased by about 0.6 0.2 C.[3] Starting in 1979, satellites started measuring
the temperature of the Earth.

Before 1850, there were not enough temperature measurements for us to know how warm or
cold it was. Climatologists use proxymeasurements to try to figure out past temperatures
before there were thermometers. This means measuring things that change when it gets
colder or warmer. One way is to cut into a tree and measure how far apart the growth
rings are. Trees that live a long time can give us an idea of
how temperature and rain changed while it was alive.
For most of the past 2000 years the temperature didn't change much. There were some times
where the temperatures were a little warmer or cooler. One of the most famous warm times
was the Medieval Warm Period and one of the most famous cool times was the Little Ice
Age. Other proxy measurements like the temperature measured in deep holes mostly agree
with the tree rings. Tree rings and bore holes can only help scientists work out the
temperature until about 1000 years ago. Ice cores are also used to find out the temperature
back to about half a million years ago.
The greenhouse effect

Fossil fuel related CO2 emissions compared to five IPCC scenarios. The dips are related
to global recessions.
Coal-burning power plants, car exhausts, factory smokestacks, and other man-made waste
gas vents give off about 23 billion tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the
Earth's atmosphere each year. The amount of CO2 in the air is about 31% more than it was
around 1750. About three-quarters of the CO2 that people have put in the air during the past
20 years are due to burning fossil fuellike coal or oil. The rest mostly comes from changes in
how land is used, like cutting down trees.[4]
The Sun
The sun gets a little bit hotter and colder every 11 years. This is called the 11year sunspot cycle. The change is so small that scientists can barely measure how it affects
the temperature of the Earth. If the sun was causing the Earth to warm up, it would warm
both the surface and high up in the air. But the air in the upper stratosphere is actually getting
colder, so scientists don't think changes in the sun have much effect.
Dust and dirt
Dust and dirt in the air come from natural sources such as volcanos,[5]
[6]
erosion and meteoric dust. People also add to it. Some of this dirt falls out within a few
hours. Some isaerosol, so small that it could stay in the air for years.
Some responses
9

Some people try to stop global warming, usually by burning less fossil fuel. Many people
have tried to get countries to emit less greenhouse gases. The Kyoto Protocol was signed in
1997. It was meant to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to below
their levels in 1990. However, this has not happened. Carbon dioxide levels today are the
highest they have been since the start of the Industrial Revolution.
Energy conservation is used to burn less fossil fuel. People can also use energy sources that
don't burn fuel, or can prevent the carbon dioxide from getting out.
People can also change how they live because of any changes that global warming will bring.
For example, they can go to places where the weather is better, or build walls around cities to
keep flood water out. Like the preventive measures, these things cost money, and rich people
and rich countries will be able to change more easily than the poor.Geoengineering is also
seen by some as one climate change mitigation response.
Etymology
The term global warming was first used in its modern sense on 8 August 1975 in a science
paper by Wally Broecker in the journal Science called "Are we on the brink of a pronounced
global warming?". Broecker's choice of words was new and represented a significant
recognition that the climate was warming; previously the phrasing used by scientists was
"inadvertent climate modification," because while it was recognized humans could change
the climate, no one was sure which direction it was going. The National Academy of
Sciences first used global warming in a 1979 paper called the Charney Report, it said: "if
carbon dioxide continues to increase, we find no reason to doubt that climate changes will
result and no reason to believe that these changes will be negligible." The report made a
distinction between referring to surface temperature changes as global warming, while
referring to other changes caused by increased CO2 as climate change.
Global warming became more widely popular after 1988 when NASA climate
scientist James Hansen used the term in a testimony to Congress. He said: "global warming
has reached a level such that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause and
effect relationship between the greenhouse effect and the observed warming." His testimony
was widely reported and afterward global warming was commonly used by the press and in
public discourse.
Effects of global warming on sea levels
Global warming means that Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets are melting and the oceans
are expanding. Recent climate change would still cause a 6-meter (20-feet) sea-level rise
even if greenhouse gas emissions were reduced in 2015 per a scientific paper in Science.[7][8]
Low-lying areas such as Bangladesh, Florida and the Netherlands face massive flooding.[9]
