| Abstract– Global warming refers to natural duration changes in temperatures and weather phenomenon. Since two centuries ago, human activities have effect climate changes, due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas which produces heat –trapping gases. Global warming is the long term warming of the planet's overall temperature; this warming is increased in the last hundred years due to the effect of climate changes and heat-trapping gases. Volume of fossil fuels is increased as the human population has increased. The burning of fossil fuels causes greenhouse gasses which prevent the heat from leaving the atmosphere. These gasses are carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide. Moreover, Global warming causes a serious threat to human, animals and plants life on the earth in the forms of widespread flooding, changes in weather pattern and sea level rise, caused from melting ice sheets and glaciers in North and South poles. Global warming effect strongly on the widening of the Ozone hole, this will cause a dramatically effect on sea rise all over world water's regions, then most of costal countries will be submerged by water and disappeared from the world maps. |
