Global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems today as it is caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels (emissions) and deforestation. With the possible exception of another world war, a giant asteroid, or an incurable plague, global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet. For decades human factories and cars have spewed billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming. Many see this as a harbinger of what is to come.

TOPIC: Global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems today as it is caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels (emissions) and deforestation. With the possible exception of another world war, a giant asteroid, or an incurable plague, global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet. For decades human factories and cars have spewed billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming. Many see this as a harbinger of what is to come. If we don't curb our greenhouse gas emissions, then low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent, and El Niños could become more intense. On the other hand, there are those, some of whom are scientists, who believe that global warming will result in little more than warmer winters and increased plant growth. In truth, the future probably fits somewhere between these two scenarios.  Describe in detail how global warming is effecting our temperature, ecosystems, health, our climate and future.  Find out when this started happening and how global warming is accelerating.  Find out about the rate of the polar ice caps melting.  Discuss why politicians say this is not harmful.  Discuss the concern of the global community.   What is on the horizon to solve this problem?

Global Warming: Concerns & Solutions

Introduction
Ecosystem is formed by two types of components known as;
Abiotic and Biotic. In abiotic components, air, water, soil, radiations etc. might be counted whereas; in biotic-components, we may consider living beings. There might be observed close relationship among all abiotic and biotic components either in direct or indirect mode. Such type of interaction can prove to be positive (beneficial) or negative (harmful).
For instance; we may consider environmental impacts caused by human beings here which are kept at the super- most position on earth (right now), because of their development but, do not understand their moral responsibility towards surroundings and other organisms. That’s why they are involved in such activities from a long time that might be considered harmful for all. In such activities we may keep global warming on the top position. It refers to the “increment in temperature of Earth’s atmosphere”.
Though, it’s difficult to trace the origin of global warming but, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, it started approximately 8000 years before and there might be noticed an increment of 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the earth since 1880.
The reason behind this increment in temperature is accumulation of green house gases such as; Carbon dioxide, Nitrous oxide , Chloro Fluoro Carbons, Water vapor and Methane. When these gases could get concentrated in the surroundings (because of their unusual release by burning of fossil fuels and transportation etc.) then, their thick coating...
