Global warming is the general rise in the earths temperatures caused by the release of greenhouse gases. The most common green house gases are Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Chlorofluorocarbons, and Nitrous Oxide. The green house gases trap heat from the sun causing the temperatures to rise. Global warming remains a pressing issue in a society that has increased its industrial use since the mid-20th century. The greenhouse gases are enhanced by human activities that cause carbon emissions. The activities that contribute to the increasing amount of green house gases in the atmosphere include deforestation burning of fossil fuel and heavy use of power plants, locomotives, and airplanes.  

If human beings do not turn away from the activities that cause the emissions, the effects will be fatal to the environment and human life. There will be negative effects to the nature like El Nio or floods, droughts, prevalence of insects, rise in sea kevel, and redistribution in earths precipitation. The negative effects to the environment will eventually have negative impact to the society. There will be problems like poor health and low economic development. The effects of severe global warming will be devastating to human and animal lives.    

There have been many debates and conventions concerning global warming. This is because global warming is on the rise and little has been done especially by the industrialized countries that are responsible for the most of amount of carbon emissions. There seems to be no consensus on the way forward in dealing with the problem. The effects of the global warming have began to be felt in different parts of the world and if nothing is done soon, there will be more predicaments. It is the responsibility of every person to save the world from the fatal effects of the global warming.
