Have You wondered why the Rains did not fall until august, instead of june 2008 ?
Did u think that the number of floods, hurricanes and storms increased in the recent past ?
Do u feel that the average temperature of Earth is increasing gradually ??
YES, YOU ARE AT THE RIGHT PLACE !! ITS TRUE !!!
Its happening . . .
Introducing the slow poison - Global Warming :
Some gases like Carbondioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapour are known as "Green House gases". When the sun rays fall on the Earth's surface, some of the rays are absorbed and most of them are reflected back into space. The Green house gases in atmosphere stop the reflecting sun rays from bouncing back and trap them within the atmosphere. This results in increase of the Earth's atmospheric temparature. It is useful when naturally occurring green house gases maintain required temeperature, else earth would freeze and wouldn't support life. But, on contrary, when the green house gases become more and more in the atmosphere, particularly due to human interference, the temperature goes on increasing. This is called "Global warming".
The increase of Earth's temperature due to increase in the amount of green house gases is known as "Global warming".
The global warming has happened in the past few years and is evident from the rise in mean temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. The main causes for the global warming are attributed to release of green house gases by human activities. The largest producers of these gases are the thermal power plants, which burn the fossil fuels and produce these gases in large quantities. The second biggest sources of these green house gases are the road vehicles and industries.
Effects of Global Warming:
There are frequent melt down of glaciers that result in floods and other natural calamities. The melting of ice at the poles had already led the increase in mean sea level. And further increase in temperature may further melt the ice, which will engulf low lying countries.
The effect of global warming can be felt on seasons too. There is shift in season cycle, as the summers are getting longer than the winters. That’s why delay in Rains !
The global warming is also responsible for the introduction of some new diseases. The bacteria are more effective and multiply much faster in warmer temperatures compared to cold temperatures.
The effect of global warming is very evident on the animal kingdom also. Some animals have become extinct due to loss of their natural habitat or their inability to evolve to the rapid changes in the climate.
Global warming is also effecting the crop production, as the crops are getting destroyed by the sudden change in temperatures or sudden on set of rains
As a matter of fact, because of global warming, the earth’s atmosphere is getting more unpredictable with heavy rains in the areas, which have scanty rainfall or drought in the areas, which received good annual rainfall. The months of rainfall has also getting affected
The number of disasters like floods, famines, cyclones etc are increasing gradually and are on a high now. This is all as a result of Global warming. See the statistics of the disasters and find out how the numbers of disasters increased to a maximum !
