Global Warming
Introduction
Global warming gets defined as the gradual rise in the temperatures of the climate
system of the earth due to the increase in levels of CFCs, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases
in the atmosphere (Harvey, 2018). The greenhouse gases that include carbon dioxide, ozone,
water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane exist in the atmosphere an contribute to global warming
by affecting the ozone layer, which protects the earth from ozone heat. Radiant energy gets
absorbed by the greenhouse gas within the thermal infrared range contributing to the release of
the greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Global warming is a hazard that is faced by humans
today and poses a risk of extinction to humanity if it does not get controlled. This paper seeks to
provide a detailed discussion of the causes and effects of global warming as well as the possible
solutions and measures that can be taken by humans in minimizing as well as preventing global
warming.
The signs of global warming have gotten experienced in previous years in several regions
of the United States and other parts of the world. Some of these signs include the loss of broad
wetland areas in the Chesapeake Bay, the 1995 heatwave in Chicago that was deadly, the 1998
Mexico wildfires whose smoke caused health issues in Texas, the 1999-2004 drought in the
Rocky Mountains among many more signs of global warming that continue to manifest today.
Global warming is a phenomenon that is affecting the whole globe with droughts in continents
like Africa and reports of the increase in atmospheric temperatures in many continents across the
world. Global warming is currently the biggest threat to human existence and needs to be
addressed with urgency as its impacts continue to manifest in most aspects of human life.

Causes of Global Warming
Greenhouse gases are the primary cause of global warming because they build up in the
atmosphere interfering with the atmosphere's radioactive equilibrium. The gases create warmth
on the surface of the earth and cause a lowering of the atmosphere, causing a decrease in the
levels of ozone (Anderson et al., 2016). As the ozone levels decrease, so do the atmospheric
temperatures rise, affecting the ozone layer, which is supposed to p...
