Introduction
Global warming has become a significant concern for many researchers and
environmental engineers worldwide. It mainly results from deforestation and the burning of
fossil fuels that produce gases such as carbon dioxide and methane gases that impact the
environment (Al-Yasiri & Géczi, 2021). These toxic gases are the principal cause of global
warming. Many people are unaware of global warming. Even though we are currently
experiencing most of its negative consequences, it will continue to harm ecosystems and
disrupt the natural equilibrium. Therefore, some solutions must be devised due to the harmful
implications of global warming. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive discussion on
global warming, its causes and consequences, and potential solutions that will help mitigate
this issue.
Summary
The term "global warming" refers to the rise in temperature caused by modern human
activity. When sunlight strikes the earth's surface, the ground surface, ocean surface, cloud,
and atmosphere reflect around 30% of the light to space, while the remainder is absorbed by
land, water, and air (Draper & Weissburg, 2019). The sun's energy heats the earth's surface,
allowing life to flourish. As a result, the earth warms up, and the solar rays are reflected
straight into the atmosphere via thermal radiation, causing a cooling effect. However, carbon
dioxide and the ozone layer absorb radiated radiation, bouncing it back to the earth's surface.
The gases are commonly referred to as greenhouse gases because of their capacity to trap
heat.
As mentioned previously, global warming is one of the most severe problems that the
world is currently facing. It's the most underappreciated issue since it's difficult to detect
because it occurs gradually (Draper & Weissburg, 2019). Most scientists agree that global

warming, or the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, is hazardous to humans
and the environment as a whole. It's an issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible
because the consequences are only becoming worse, expensive and detrimental to the entire
world. Therefore, every person must be aware of the adverse effects of global warming and
take steps to prevent more devastation because change begins with each individual.
