Global Warming - Causes
Causes of Global Warming
-
Rapid use of fossil fuel
-
Rapid use of fossil fuel will emit large amount of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide.
-
Deforestation/clearing of lands
The increase of human population coincidentally demands for more lands to use. This leads to clearance of forest area in many regions. By eliminating forests, carbon dioxide that actually should be photosynthesized is left in the atmosphere and accumulate to contribute to the increase.
CFC, or chlorofluorocarbon is a gas that decreases ozone (O3) in the atmosphere, causing ozone depletion that increase the amount of solar radiation arriving to the Earth.
Open burning of trash
Open burning of trash worldwide emits greenhouse gases.
- Vehicle and industrial emissions
- Volcanic eruptions.
