Global warming




what is Global Warming ?!






Global warming is “the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent”.







This temperature increase is caused by a natural process called the greenhouse effect. A blanket of thermal, or greenhouse, gases composed largely of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other gases are blocking the sun light or Infrared radiation reflects off earth’s surface toward space and cause it to reflect downward, which helps to rapidly increase in earths temperature and cause some Climatic changes.






Scientist believes that within the last 50 years , earths temperature has increased by 38 F and The atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and CH4 have increased by 31% and 149% respectively above pre-industrial levels since 1750.

Global warming causes

A-Natural causes

such as the release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands considering that Methane is a greenhouse gas, and a greenhouse gas will trap heat in the earth's atmosphere.Another natural cause is that the earth is going through a cycle of climate change. This climate change usually lasts about 40,000 years.



B-Man-Made causes

1-Gas emissions and pollution






Burning fossil fuels is one example that causes global warming . Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. When fossil fuels are burned they give off a green house gas called CO2.

2-Over population


More people means more food, and more methods of transportation. This means burning of fossil fuels, and more agriculture. . Because more food is needed we have to raise more animals. Another problem with the increasing population is transportation. More people means more cars, and more cars means more pollution.

I wonder where you got your facts. If the earth's temperature really raised 33 degrees in 50 years, then the summer temperature in Abu Dhabi could reach 75 degrees! It's hot here, but not that hot.

Great content!

It would be easier for us to make comments if you could separate each paragraph/topic into a different post.

Keep up the good work!

In your opinion what is the major effects of global warming and you don't think the Nuclear weapons activities is the main cause of global warming ?

HI Yaqoub

as we all know the main problem is co2 emissions and its greenhouse effect. I dont think nuclear weapos has a direct effect

"Dear Webmaster,
I was reading http://monems.blogspot.com/ the link to http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/society/deforestation.html wasn't working but I have found it at http://www.biostim.com.au/pdf/Deforestation.pdf if you want to update it for your readers.
