Greenhouse Causes Global Warming

The reason why the Earth is at danger is because of the greenhouse effect which then leads to global warming. This is the process by which the atmosphere traps some of the Sun 's energy, warming the Earth enough to support life. Greenhouse gases are increasing the effect of global warming. These gases include carbon dioxide made by fossil fuel burning and deforestation. Over the past 200 years the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased, this was caused by burning large areas of forests to clear land, which means that there is less photosynthesis removing carbon dioxide from the air. The greenhouse effect is caused by burning fossil fuels which contains carbon dioxide. Global warming has then lead on to causing more problems on the Earth and its atmosphere. It has created disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes. Another cause of global warming is because of deforestation, this is the process of cutting down trees to make room for businesses, farms or even houses.

Global warming is a danger to humans as the climate will change, this will result in the temperature getting hotter causing people to get illnesses and it results in a higher increase in malaria which can eventually kill off humans. Another effect of the temperature rising means that the ice caps and ice burgs will begin to melt causing water areas to overflow and cause flooding, it will also mean that animals such as polar bears will have their habitats destroyed as they live on the ice caps that are slowly melting because of global warming. Ways to prevent global warming will be to start using energy saving appliances, battery powered vehicles and to reduce burning fossil fuels
