Facts about Global warming
Fact 1: Global warming is the result of increase in the earth's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane . These gases are required for the presence of human life on earth. However, global warming is happening due to over-emittance of these gases.
Fact 2:: Emissions like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases will remain in the atmosphere for many years making impossible to eliminate global warming for several decades.
Fact 3: The Arctic ice is melting rapidly. By 2040 the region is expected to have a completely ice free summer, or even earlier.
Fact 4: Global warming that is causing extreme weather changes has shown it implications in the way of forest fires,heat waves and severe tropical storms throughout the world.
Fact 5: Thee has been a tremendous increase of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane nitrous oxide especially greenhouse gases due to polluting substances emitted as a result of industrialization, pollution, deforestation.
Fact 6: Humans are emitting more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, faster than the absorbing rates of plants and the ocean.
Fact 7: Melting of glaciers will cause sea levels to rise on one hand and water shortages in areas that depend on natural sources of water.
Fact 8: Increasing temperatures will release more greenhouse gases, unlock methane, and cause more evaporation of water.
Fact 9: Due to industrial revolution, the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas started on a massive scale. This not only increased greenhouse gases but was also responsible for large scale deaths due to asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Fact 10: Global warming can lead to massive food and water shortages and has a life threatening impact on the wildlife.
