Human actions such as earth excavations, the use of fossil fuels and carbon emissions over the last 50 years have altered the earth’s atmosphere significantly. During this time, the burning of fossil fuels has emitted vast amounts of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases, which have, in effect, trapped heat in the lower atmosphere of the planet and thus influence our global environment.
Statistics indicate that the ravages of global warming and its effects on climate change impact different areas in various ways, but over the last 100 years the earth’s surface temperature has risen by 0.85 degrees centigrade in the past. Those figures also show that the rise will hit acceptable thresholds by 2030. So if that does, it will have catastrophic long-term consequences on the earth’s atmosphere so human health. It is therefore up to you to educate the world’s people on the risks of global warming. There are 20 short essay subjects on global warming students here who should find trying to divert our collective attention from this ticking time bomb.
