10 Surprising Facts About Global Warming

Let us tell you some surprising interesting facts about global warming. We will first try to understand the definition of Global Warming.

What is global warming?

Global warming can be called the increase in global temperature. This simply means that the temperature of our earth is increasing every day. We try to explain this in simple words. There are a total of 9 planets in our solar system, out of which our planet is the third planet. In such a situation, the first two planets are extremely hot due to their proximity to the Sun, whereas the latter, Mars, is extremely cold. Our Earth comes in third place and is located at the right distance from the Sun.

So due to our actions, the number or quantity of such gases is increasing on Earth which is considered responsible for global warming. The main ones among these gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorocarbon, sulfur hexafluoride and chlorofluorocarbon. So due to the increase of these gases in the atmosphere, the temperature of the earth is increasing day by day, which we know as global warming.

Global Warming Facts

1.Global warming is the result of an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's surface due to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. These gases are necessary for the presence of human life on Earth. However, global warming is occurring due to excess emissions of these gases.

2. Emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases persist in the atmosphere for many years, making it impossible to eliminate global warming for many decades.

3. Since 1880, the average temperature has increased by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. The Arctic, i.e. a large part of the North Pole, is one of the places most affected by global warming.

5. Arctic ice is melting rapidly. The region is expected to have completely ice-free summers by 2040 or even earlier.

6. In the Montana Glacier National Park of North America, the number of glaciers in the year 1910 was 150, which is now only 25 left.

7. Due to climate change caused by global warming, the incidence of forest fires and heat waves is increasing rapidly every year across the world.

8. On one hand, sea level will rise due to melting of glaciers, while on the other hand, there will be water shortage in areas dependent on natural sources of water.

9.Global warming will completely alter the ocean conveyor belt, causing a mini ice age in Europe.

10.Carbon dioxide levels in the 20th century have been the highest in 6,50,000 years. By 1950, this level had increased to 11% which recently increased to 40%.

Reason behind Global Warming

So now we are going to share with you the reason for increasing global warming. Although there are not just one but hundreds of reasons for this which may vary due to different regions, limitations and human habits, but we are going to present before you some of the major reasons.

• Population Growth
• Felling of Trees and Plants
• Reduction in Forest Area
• Industrialization
• Reduction in Agricultural Land
• Number of Vehicles
• Modernization

Effects of Global Warming

• Extreme Heat

• Agricultural Fertility Phenomenon
• Deteriorating Human Health

Ways to avoid global warming

• Bring Awareness
• Planting Trees
• Save Energy
• Say No to Plastic
• Control in Population
• Proper use of Water
• Limit Modernity

So in this way through this article, we have gathered information about global warming. We learned what global warming is, what are the causes, effects and measures to stop it. Let's step forward to stop global warming and save this earth from the effects of global warming.
