Global warming is the phenomenon that the average temperature of the earth
raises continuously. Its temperatures may rise by 1.4 to 5.8 degrees Celsius.
The greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide or methane are the cause of the
global warming. The greenhouse gases create a natural greenhouse effect.
Human activities such as burning fuels, lumbering, and agriculture will
release greenhouse gases. Some of the non-human causes are volcanic
emissions, solar activity, variations in the earth’s orbit.
What are the effects of global warming? The rising temperature of the earth
will cause the polar ice to melt. As the ice melts, the water will cause the
rising sea level and pattern of climate changes. The extreme weather such as
hurricanes, tornados, droughts, heat wave, and floods occur more frequently.

Other effects of global warming are lower agricultural productions, animal
extinctions, or reduced summer stream flows.
There are still many scientific uncertainties of causes and effects of global
warming. Some scientists argue that, “Even if there are no greenhouse gases,
the events of rising sea and global warming would continue. The carbon
dioxide is known for its long average atmospheric lifetime”.
