Given the available evidence that the world is experiencing unpredictable climate and weather patterns , global warming is no doubt a reality in the modern society

Causes of global warming

According to scientific research findings , global warming is defined as the gradual increase in the temperatures of the earth 's atmosphere near the surface (Johansen , 2002 . This has been closely associated with increased emission and accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (Revkin , 2008 . These gases are responsible for trapping heat emitted from the earth 's surface and thus increasing the atmospheric temperatures . It is worth noting that greenhouse gases are commonly a byproduct of the production process by industries . As an example to emphasis this claims , mankind activities are estimated to be producing carbon dioxide (which is the major greenhouse gas ) at a...
