Global Warming

Perhaps the most significant but most under dealt threat to mankind is the global warming of the temperature. The last two decades of the last century have been the warmest in the planet's history. And this global warming is not natural, rather people are causing it. People are causing global warming by burning fossil fuel i.e. oil, coal and natural gas. These burnings are releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere at present than it was so in total for hundreds of thousands of years. The CO2 traps heat into the earth resulting global warming of the atmosphere.

Although there may be debates among the environmental scientists about the effects and the level of global warming, there is no debate that we are causing it and causing it at a faster rate.

Now we really have difficult tasks ahead of us, as the human civilisation has been built around the use of large scale fossil fuel and the industrialisation based on such fuels.

We have also difficult choices to make, whether to take appropriate actions or not and when such actions have to be undertaken? Whatever our decision, the earth is decaying day by day and it will not spare us unless we do something to protect it and stop the increase of global temperature.
