Meaning
Global warming is a scientific observation that the average temperature of the Earth is increasing.
About Global Warming
- Global warming happens naturally. However, scientists theorise the current trend of global warming is being caused by human activity on Earth. This theory is known as Anthropogenic Global Warming.
- Global warming can be caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide and Methane which are being produced in larger quantities currently due to human activity.
- Global warming can cause habitat destruction due to changes in weather patterns in many different ecosystems possibly causing drought, flooding, temperature rises or temperature falls depending on the location.
