What is global warming you say? Global warming is an increase of temperature in the earth’s atmosphere, due to the greenhouse effect, caused by an increase in carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Due to a global warming glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and forest are drying. Its is clear that humans have caused most of the past century warming for our power for modern day lives.

Greenhouse effect? greenhouse effect is when the sun’s heat and light are trapped together and a rise in temperature occurs. Two meanings of the term greenhouse effect, “Natural” and “Man-made” “Natural” Greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm and habitable. “Man-made” greenhouse effect which is the burning of fossil fuels and is increasing the carbon dioxide concentration.

According to climate studies, the 20th century’s the last two decades were the hottest in over 400 years! According to the United Nations, 11 of the last 12 years have been said to be the hottest years ever recorded! If this climate continues we will have a completely ice free year by 2040
