Factors that contribute global warming





As the title shown above, have we ever ask ourselves what contributed to global warming formation. Generally we knew that global warming referred to the climate change that causes the average temperature of earth increases drastically. Global warming was occurred by many factors such as industrialization, humankind activities, agricultural, and also natural disaster.

Firstly let discuss about how industrialization contributed to global warming. Scientists believe that industrialization and development activities are the biggest threat to the earth, due to various of gases being released such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorocarbons and so on. Moreover the combustion of fossil fuels is heavily used to generate energy for industrial activities, which after that carbon dioxide was formed as a by-product and the released of carbon dioxide increased the greenhouse gases, and this leads to the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere and, consequently to global warming, which rise up the earth temperature rapidly and more pollution.

Second biggest contribution after industrialization is humankind and agricultural activities. Activities such open burning, road transport and land opening. The demand of livestock and food like vegetables, cereals and fruits has increase therefore deforeststation occurred by cutting trees, and land open in order to breed these foods for human consumption.

Hence, with all the factors elaborated above, it all leads to our daily activities, whether we realized it or not, in other words we are the biggest threat to the earth, therefore we should educate ourselves about this issue and how to prevent it from getting worse.

The Process of Global Warming

Global warming is depends on energy balance between incoming and outgoing radiation through emissions of greenhouse gases effect. The greenhouse gases are such like carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), nitrous oxide and other chemical gases. The atmosphere absorbs or reflects about half of the solar energy reaching the earth. Most of the energy re emitted from the earth's surface is long wave of infrared energy. Most of this infrared energy is absorbed by aerosols and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and is re-radiated toward the planet. Hence it is help the earth keeping the surface much warmer than it would otherwise be. Which is also known by greenhouses effect.

Greenhouse effects



Firstly my team would like to thank all viewers for dropping by, and feel free to leave comments. Naturally there are two general term which is its naturally occur by nature in order for the earth to sustain life and optimum temperature and another term which is ‘man made’ greenhouse effect, which is the enhancement of Earth's natural greenhouse effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (mainly petroleum, coal, and natural gas). Next greenhouse gases trap some of the infrared radiation that escapes from the Earth, making the Earth warmer that it would otherwise be. To make one easier understand the concept it’s like covering the earth with a huge blanket trapping all the gases within the atmosphere heating up the earth gradually.

WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

The earth's average temperatures have been changing have been troughout it's history. During the past 900 00 years, cold glacial periods were followed by warmer intergacial periods. The past 10.000 years has been an interglacial period. The green house effect is a natural process that warms the earth's lower tropossphere and surface. It occurs because greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere by absorbing some infrared radiation from the earth's surface. This couses their molecules to vibrate and transform the absorbed energy into longer-wave infrared radiation in the troposphere. The two major greenhouse gases are water vapour and carbon dioxide.
