Greenhouse gases such as Carbon dioxide which trap heat in the atmosphere increase the temperature of the Earth. As a result ice caps are melting which will result in an increase in the sea level which would lead to coastal areas being submerged. Temperatures are also becoming more extreme with cold areas becoming unbearably cold and hotter localities experiencing heat waves.]]> 2017-04-09 17:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/danish_zaidi/nrbe7617b3iz/wish/165564075 https://padlet.com/danish_zaidi/nrbe7617b3iz/wish/166018118 Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. Green house gasses absorb and retain heat in the atmosphere and they donot let them be reflected back into space, this increases the overall temperature of the earth. It causes the melting of polar ice caps which add to the water in the oceans thus increasing their volumes leading to floods. These floods can cause the loss of homes, materials as well as life. A rise in temperature also may lead to hear waves and the extinction of species that cannot adapt to such temperatures.

Greenhouses then reflect this heat and in turn heat up the earth. This results in melting of glaciers and a rise in sea levels . This also leads to the extinction of many animals and plants as they cannot adapt to such an environment. Thus many preventive measures should take place such as planting forests that lower the amount of co2]]> 2017-04-18 07:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/danish_zaidi/nrbe7617b3iz/wish/166689124
