Task 2- Global Warming


Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Global surface temperature increased by only 1 degree during the last 100 years. But this 1 degree has lead to many consequences, such as: melting ice bricks, rise of the sea level, heat waves and many strong hurricanes.

Almost 100% of the temperature increase in the last 50 years has been due to the increase of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere like CO2, methane and ozone. Greenhouse gases are the gases that lead to the greenhouse effect. The largest source of greenhouse gas is the burning of fossil fuel leading to the emission of carbon dioxide.

The effects of rising temperatures are not very far in the future. Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening. Signs are appearing in some areas. The heat is not only melting ice bricks; it’s also shifting rain fall patterns and making animals move from home. Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the worlds poles. This includes mountain snow, ice covering Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice. Sea level rise became faster in the last century. Some birds, animals and plants have moved to cooler areas. Rain and snowfall has increased across the planet.

All these changes could be worse if we keep using the greenhouse gases. There are many things we can do to slow down the temperature rise in the future
