Global Warming: Causes and Effects Essay

This is a situation where there is a pronounced relative increase in the average temperature on the surface of the earth alongside with the core ocean body temperature. The occurrence was noted about the middle of 20th century with grave progression of economic and geographical impacts on the universe. Introduction Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, projects that the global warming will continue to increase at such an unprecedented rate with unabated majority due to human causes. There is already rising level of sea water, the glacial withdrawal, and arctic spatial reduction. The altered pattern of agricultural practice is one of the implicated consequences of human acts. Ranges of direct effect cut across weather active events, health implications, disruptions of primary or secondary concession of the ecosystem, and finally, the economic disaster. Concerned bodies all over the world are seriously moving towards reversing the human derived natural disaster characterized of the effects of global warming. With increase in industrialization and world development and latent effect deposited by already released causative gases, global warming is envisaged to be further aggravated with an average temperature change from 1. 10C of the mid-20th century to 6. 40C towards the middle of 21st century. The Causes of Global Warming Minimum of thirty scientific researchers in academic fields through the submissions of IPCC endorsed the following as direct and indirect causes of green house effect. A larger percentage is caused by atmospheric presence of greenhouse gases like carbon IV oxide, water vapor retention in the atmosphere, methane and ozone layer depletion. These gases are collectively called – â€Å"anthropogenic gases†. Other industrial releases are oxides of nitrogen, sulphur floride compounds, hydrofluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons, and chlorine containing fluorocarbons. Unregulated open ground burning of fossil fuels for industrial use and others results in exhaust of large amount of carbon IV oxide into the atmosphere. Crude petroleum refining, natural gas crystallization, coal burning, and products from Cement Company are implicated. In pre-developmental era, occurrence of global warming is traced to natural sources which include the release of solar emissions following natural disasters; volcanic eruptions, earth quaking, magma accumulation et cetera (Hegerl, 2007) The Effects of Global Warming The gaseous accumulation of greenhouse gases above the earth surface causes retention of reflecting sun rays from the ground. Sun rays contain component that produce heating effect (ultraviolet rays), hence basal temperature will rise from 3-50C about century to come. This is fatal to life. The temperature rise causes latent heat expansion of the ocean leading to increase in normal volume by about 20 meters. It can lead to change in weather seasonal pattern with predominance of drought, low rainfall, leading to famine and low industrial energy input and output. Also, there would be increased spread of epidemic plagues and other communicable diseases in an unprecedented manner. There is death of aquatic life leading to water pollution, spread of water-borne diseases, and malnutrition. There would be economic regression with insurance industries at larger risk because the resulting natural disasters present insurers with evident claim for rebuilding. Continent like Africa stands the greatest economic risk because about 70% of the population relies on Farming. Carbon dioxide and other gaseous retention are toxic to plant. Other economic implication entails increase in transportation maintenance, massive migration from glacial shift, flooding which disturb normal economic of some developing countries that base at the sea bank. Outline and Draft The Cause and Effect of Global Warming 1. Definition of Global Warming: i. Increase in average basal land and sea’s temperature 2. Introduction i. IPCC projects worsen situation with aggravation if anthropogenic course is not reversed with 1. 10C to 6. 40C temp. rise towards the mid-21st century. ii. Global warming exist prior to developmental era, during developmental and at development age in connection with interwoven reasons. Developed countries stand the greatest risk of exposure to causative gases. 3. The Causes of Global Warming i. â€Å"Anthrogenic gases† such as oxides of nitrogen, sulphur floride compounds, hydrofluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons, and carbon IV oxide ii. Poor control of energy generation from natural resources: natural gas, coal fossil fuels, petroleum, and Cement. iii. Radioactive or solar radiations from natural disaster contribute to the cause of global warming. 4. The Effects of Global Warming i. Basal temperature rise projection from 30C to 50C about century to come. The temperature rise causes latent heat expansion of the ocean leading to increase in normal volume by about 20 meters. There is death of aquatic life leading to water pollution, spread of water-borne diseases, and malnutrition. ii. Prevalence of drought, low rainfall, famine and low industrial energy input and output. Also, increase spread of epidemic plagues and other communicable diseases in an unprecedented rate. iii. There would be economic regression with insurance industries at larger risk. Africa stands the greatest economic risk because of Farming. Increase in cost of transportation maintenance, immigration and emigration from glacial shift. References Hegerl, Gabriele C. ; et al.
