Global warming is a serious epidemic that is affecting the earth due to the main recklessness of its people. Even a minor change in temperature due to global warming affects the earth and its people. It the temperature were still to increase, it could cause drastic changes and affect the earth and earthÃÂs population. Tremendous difference in temperature can directly and indirectly cause the loss of human life and harm the animals. The hard face is that despite what many nations, companies, cities and people are starting to do to reduce their global warming emission. The world is putting out more carbon dioxide into the air than ever before. The current amount is 385 parts per million (ppm), higher than ever in the past 800,000 years (Gary Braasch, 2005).
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its likely continuation.

Global warmingRise in global temperature will cause sea level to rise, and is likely to increase the intensity of extreme weather events and to change the amount and pattern of rainfall. Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors. Another reason why greenhouse gases have inflated is due to the decrease in the amount of plant life, commonly called deforestation. Plant life is the only thing known on earth to consume carbon dioxide Forest destruction creates more heat because trees are able to store a large amount of CO2 in their structures. One tree absorbs about 13 pounds of CO2 per year, and each one acre of forest absorbs about 2.8 tons of CO2. (Begley, Sharon. "Was Andrew a freak- or a preview of things to come?"
