Global warming refers to a form of climate change that results in an increase in the average temperature of the lower part of the earth’s atmosphere (Jian-Bin et al. 37). Global warming is real and is happening all over the earth 's surface despite varied opinions from conspiracies. It’s secondary to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor and methane gas among others (Shepherd 10). The primary gas that has contributed to the greenhouse effect and global warming is CO2, which often comes from human activities. However, a conspiracy has come to falsify that global warming is present. For instance, some people have argued that in the past 17 years, the temperature has not risen, meaning that the earth is not warming up (Hawkins 1). Using this and many other claims, they have argued that global warming is a myth that lacks scientific backup. Despite the existence of various conspiracies, this essay argues that human activities cause global warming, which negatively affects man, who should strive to offset it by avoiding risky behaviors. Evidence for Global Warming
Some scientists have come up with findings that human activities aren 't responsible for the global rise in temperatures. They argue that there have been four warming …show more content…
However, some of these activities negatively affect the climate by contributing to global warming. Some of the industries and products absorb and store heat that would otherwise be reflected from the earth’s surface, which contributes to further warming. A good example is that the glass, concrete, macadam, and steel used in building conurbations absorb radiant heat from the sun more than what the natural vegetation can (Carter 181). Such an occurrence indicates that the summative action from the localized warming due to such activities can result in additional warming of the earth’s surface, hence global
