GLOBAL WARMING: AN EMERGING THREAT

Rajesh Kumari, None

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans due to natural or anthropogenic climate change. Global warming is closely linked to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases(GHG) in the atmosphere leading to an increase in the amount of infrared or thermal radiation near the surface. The enhanced greenhouse effect is leading to rising temperatures, referred to as global warming. Measurements show a global temperature increase of 1.4 °F (0.78 °C) between the years 1900 and 2005. However, for thousands of years now, emissions of GHGs to the atmosphere have been balanced out by GHGs that are naturally absorbed. As a result, GHG concentrations and temperature have been fairly stable. This stability has allowed human civilization to develop within a consistent climate
