Plant Earth which is also known as the Blue Planet it is also known as the Planet of life because scientist believe that it is the only planet in the solar system that contains life.
It is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. It has its own way of protecting itself and life on it (species, humans and plants), it has a strong magnetic field to protect itself and life on it from solar effects (solar flares and solar winds).
It gets most of its energy from the sun, via infrared radiation which is emitted by the planet and some of them passes right by atmosphere and absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules (nitrogen, argon, Chlorofluorocarbons,

GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is the increase of earth upper layer or area temperature. It is believed that global warming results in earth’s climate change. Most people tend to confuse global warming with climate change, but the two are completely different but they may be interchangeable.
Global warming simply means that there is a build up of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses trapped in the atmosphere, because of human doings of industrial and excessive burning of fossil

Membership of the IPCC is open to all members of the WMO and UNEP.[4] The IPCC produces reports that support the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which is the main international treaty on climate change.[5][6] The ultimate objective of the UNFCCC is to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic [i.e., human-induced] interference with the climate system".[5] IPCC reports cover "the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and

    Simply, it is the rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate, and we can’t deny the fact that the Earth’s temperature is increasing. Even a minimum rise in temperature of the earth’s climate has catastrophic effects. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases which trap the sun rays inside the earth’s atmosphere, increasing the temperature on earth. As mentioned in a quote, “Human activities have added greenhouse gases to the atmosphere” (National Academy of Sciences B2) science proves human activities are the main cause of global warming. But, there have also been comments arguing that human activities are not the cause of climate change.…

    How Human Activities Affect Global Warming Do human activities affect climate change, and as a result create global warming? Some scientists say no, but the majority of scientists say yes. They say human activities such as deforestation, using hydro-carbons, and burning fossil fuels, cause a lot of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere changing the temperature of the climate, causing global warming. So now which group of scientists is correct?…

    Global warming in its broad meaning is the increase of the average of air temperature near the Earth 's surface. This is a natural process, which started about 18,000 years ago. During this time, large territories were covered by huge ice glaciers and world temperature was about 18 degrees Celsius below zero. That was the real Ice Age, lasting for many thousands of years. The problem of global warming, or to be more precise the problem of human contribution into this natural phenomenon, was addressed officially, when industrial nations made pledges to reduce…

    Global warming since then generally define as a gradually increasing in temperature, which results in changing global climate permanently. Earth 's climate has been negatively influenced by many direct and indirect ways. Humans can severely damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which originally from global industrialization and modernization.…

    Global warming or climate change is the gradual increase of Earth’s temperature over time, through the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rising carbon level in the atmosphere, trapping radiation, and heating the Earth. Humans are depending on fossil fuels that release these emissions. Though we have increasingly started depending on renewable resources that don’t release these harmful gases into the atmosphere, we can already see the effects today and if this doesn’t stop now the planet will be destroyed. The human intervention that people have depended on with the environment is destroying the Earth.…
