The Neglected Danger-Global Warming

Since 1980, the average global temperature has risen 0.2 degree Celsius each decade. Scientists predict that if we continue putting the same amount of green house gases into the atmosphere, that by the year 2030 the temperature will be rising as much as 0.5 degree C or more per decade.

Overall, the global temperature could rise anywhere from 5 to 9 degree over the next fifty years. if the temperature do rise, as predicited,several things could happen. The increase of temperature could alter the growth of crops in areas near the equator due to insufficient rain and heat. They could invariably destroy small islands, coastals cities and some shallow rivers.

Another cause of global warming is deforestation. Trees are being cut down mercilessly for man’s mere pleasure and for fulfilling his needs and wants. But the real consequences are a real danger for man kind. This problem of global warming due to deforestation can be solved by means of afforestation.but if not done; the earth and its inhabitants will become victims of global warming. And finally, a very important cause for this is, "the green house effect"-the green house gases carbon coming out from various industries and reaching the atmosphere and slowly depleting the ozone layer.

This may have harsh effects on the climate of the world. I believe global warming is a big threat to our nation and the world. If we do not act now, it may be too late. Although there is no sure way of telling what the climate will be like in the future we must take steps to ensure the health of the earth. If u look at what is happening to this world and u will see that there is a pollution problem. There are steps being taken to reduce the amount of green house gases put into the air. but it still is not enough, we need to do more to reduce global warming, if we don't do it now, future generations will suffer the effects of global warming.
