ReseArCh & RefErence

Global warming is the increase in the average Earth's temperature. This phenomenon dates from mid-twentieth century and has since then showed trend of constant increase, though there are still some people believing how global warming phenomenon is nothing more than scaring myth invented by environmentalists and ecologists.

Global warming has many negative side effects: warmer temperatures will cause sea level to rise, and this will increase intensity of extreme weather events known as climate change. Climate and weather will become totally unpredictable which will have tremendous effect on not only ecology, but also on economy.
There are other problems such as endangered species and the possible range of new diseases that will be caused because of climate change. These changes will not effect all corners of Earth equally and the most vulnerable areas will be around North and South Pole and Africa, due to their extreme sensibility to increased temperatures.Global warming is direct result of human activity as because of the excessive fossil fuels use high amounts of greenhouse gases are being released to atmosphere every day since the start of industrial era.

Many people are still unaware that global warming is already happening and the first signs of possible future disaster are already there: heat waves and unusually hot weather, sea levels rising, flooding of coastal waters, glaciers melting on Arctic and Antarctica, extinction of many species while many other are being listed as endangered, downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding as well as droughts and fires, diseases spreading, etc. And this is only a start of something that will only increase its horrible impact if we don't do something about it. But can something be done to stop global warming?
