Greenhouse Effect

Global Warming

Unfortunately, with the advent of technology spearheading massive information dissemination techniques, the truth about global warming has remained elusive to those few people who live their lives only for their self-interests rather than for the interest of all of humankind.


Atmospheric carbon dioxide from fossil fuels burning mixed with water vapor generally stays in the lower hemispheres trapping hot air and keeping it from being released into the higher layers of the Earth s atmosphere. This effect is called greenhouse effect or a warming effect that can be experienced due to greenhouse gases . Imagine what the glass canopy of a greenhouse aims to do when sun rays easily pass through the glass but since heat

is internally trapped, a warming effect can be observed inside the greenhouse. This greenhouse is what agro-meteorologists build to be able to cultivate warm loving plants during cold seasons.

The Importance Of Global Warming Awareness 2007

Composite findings of about 2,000 scientists do not augur well for future years due to the alarming rate the earth’s lower atmosphere is warming up. The world is being warned of hunger and thirst for millions (even billions) due to global warming. The continuous emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane has worsened the situation especially in the most recent years. Global warming has triggered climate change in all parts of the world, most apparent of which is the warming of the polar zones which has flushed water from the melted ice to the oceans, disrupting the ecology and the affecting the lifestyle of thousands of people.

Harmful Effects of Deforestation

Human beings always have been and probably always will be to some extent dependent on forests. Trees were their habitat, their environment, their source of food and their protection from enemies. Forests are very important to man, and other organisms, and one of the biggest problems the world is facing today is the threat of totally losing the forests due to massive deforestation and suffering the harmful effects of deforestation.


Deforestation can be defined as the large scale removal of forests. Deforestation occurs when forests are converted to non-forest areas for urbanization, agriculture, and other reasons without sufficient reforestation. It is the permanent destruction of forests and woodlands.

The Danger Of Global Warming

Global warming is described as the apparent rise in the average normal temperature of the planets atmosphere and its seas in the immediate past decades. This takes into consideration its progression in the years to come.


In the 1900s, the average temperature near the lowermost layer of the earths atmosphere increased by A 0.2 A Celsius or 0.4 A Fahrenheit. Most scientists studying climate change opine that this 50 years of observed global warming can be blamed on human activities.The main cause of waming is the marked rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases or GHGs like carbon dioxide (CO2), which aggravates the greenhouse effect by warming the surface of the earth and the lower portion of the atmosphere. Destructive activities

Facts about Global Warming You Should Know

Global warming is not a 20th century phenomenon. It has, in fact, occurred in the past more than once, along with periods of extreme cold known as the ice ages. With so much written and reported about global warming, sometimes it’s difficult to detect which is fact and which is just part of scientific scare tactics. Here are some facts about global warming that might help:


What exactly is global warming?
Global warming is basically the increase in the temperatures of the Earth’s atmosphere, land masses and oceans. The Earth’s surface temperature is at an average of 59F and over the last hundred years, this figure has risen to about 1F. By the year 2100,

the average change in the temperature of the Earth could range from 2.5F to about 10F, enough to melt glaciers and polar ice caps.
