Global warming - A brief introduction
editAs this term is so self-descriptive, everyone is aware of its effects which are not only changing the weather patterns globally but also it is capable of creating an apocalyptic catastrophe or a major climatic change which might destroy our planet and make a major impact among the other planetary routines within and outside of our solar system.
First the heat and humidity gets trapped within the earth atmospheric shell which creates the geen house effect and secondly the gap in the Ozone layer, which was discovered in the early 70's, is becoming larger & larger everyday. ultraviolet rays are not only bad for skin and our eyes but also its several other negative effects on the planet that can be disastrous if it is not controlled properly.
The people of this world have seen and experienced all types of calamities during the past and in the current decade which starts from tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, rains, thunderstorms, and floods, which have been destroying millions of worth of properties and killed thousands of people and animals in no time.
Global Warming is accompanied by Global Cooling, and Global Dimming as well. Global Cooling is a threat for the warmer climate and shows the possibilities to see another centuries long ice age that will freeze most part of the planet and create so many different problems that will have a lasting impact over the modern civilization and the planet.
