Global warming corresponds to the increase in average terrestrial temperature caused by the accumulation of polluting gases in the atmosphere.

The 20th century was considered the hottest period since the last glaciation.

There has been an average increase of 0.7 ° C in the last 100 years. For this reason, global warming is considered to be an urgent environmental problem with serious consequences for mankind.

The natural phenomenon of the greenhouse effect is closely linked to the climatic changes that occur on planet Earth.The greenhouse effect, though related to global warming, is a process that ensures that Earth maintains the right temperature for life.

Without it, the planet would be very cold, to the point that many life forms don´t exist.The problem is in the increase of emission of polluting gases, the so-called greenhouse gases. They accumulate in the atmosphere and with this, there is a greater retention of Earth's heat.

The increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases causes changes in heat exchanges, most of which are retained in the atmosphere. As a result, there is an increase in temperature, which causes global warming.

The greenhouse gases are:

·         Carbon Monoxide (CO);

·         Carbon Dioxide (CO2);

·         Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC);

·         Methane (CH4);

·         ...

The main cause of global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases.

There are several activities that emit these gases, the main ones are:

·         Use of fossil fuels: The burning of fossil fuels used in cars driven by gasoline and diesel releases CO2, which is responsible for the retention of heat.

·         Deforestation: In addition to destroying large areas of forest, deforestation also releases greenhouse gases.

·         Burning: The burning of vegetation releases significant amounts of CO2.

·         Industrial Activities: Industries that make use of fossil fuels are also responsible for the emission of polluting gases. This situation comprises most of the emission of greenhouse gases in developed countries.

As we have seen, the polluting gases form a kind of "blanket" around the planet. They prevent solar radiation, reflected by the surface in the form of heat, from dissipating into space.

Global warming causes a series of changes on the planet, of which the main ones are:

·         Change in the composition of fauna and flora throughout the planet.

·         Defrost in great mass in the polar regions, causing the rise of the level of the sea.

·         Increased cases of natural disasters such as floods, storms and hurricanes.

·          Species extinction.

·         Desertification of natural areas.

·         Droughts may be more frequent.

·          Climate change may still affect food production, as many productive areas may be affected.

Polar regions are the areas under the greatest pressure of global warming, due to the high temperatures worldwide. The melting of the polar ice caps is already a reality and the negative impacts in the region can already be observed.

Animals living in these regions suffer from the consequences of global warming and many of them are at risk of extinction.

We hope everyone realizes that we have to change our routines because we have to preserve our world for future generations. We shouldn´t leave this huge task in the hands of others, but rather all together CHANGE THE WORLD.
