GLOBAL WARMING AND THE ENVIRONMENT

GLOBAL WARMING
When Global warming is talked about ,a lot of people know it's an unwanted phenomenon but don't really know what it is about. Global warming is a term that is used to refer to the rising of average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and water bodies which leads to climate changes across different part of the world. This rise in temperature has begun from the late 19th century and might keep getting worse if industrialization and emission of green house gases are not curtailed.
This changes caused by global warming are shown climatic changes, the amount and pattern of precipitation and causes changes in crop yield and extinction of some animal species that can't adapt to the new extreme climatic conditions.

Effect of Global warming

HOW TO MANAGE THE SITUATION
Even when we know we know the effect it is still going to need united global effort and individual effort because most of our daily activities constantly harm the atmosphere which lead to depletion of the ozone (O3) layer ,for instance in underdeveloped countries like Nigeria where power supply is not adequate a lot of people use Generators, which emits dangerous carbon gas, instead of generators solar panel and inverter should be used which is both a renewable source of power and does not pose threat to the atmosphere .
In our homes we should try to have trees which help for proper circulation of air and suck up harmful carbon gases, we should try to use rechargeable batteries and always encourage recycling of product made from plastic and bottles. Things that must be burnt should be burnt in an incinerator to avoid emission of carbon gases that are classified as greenhouse gases which deplete the ozone layer. From various study it has been estimated that the average temperature will sstill rise regardless how much we minimize our activities but it will rise even higher if we don't preserve it.
