Will the earth survive Global warming.
What causes this increase
This are gasses that traps heat in the earth surface, normally the heat radiated from the sun is supposed to move out of the earth freely but this heat are trapped, they are trapped by some gases called green house gases. This gases can stay up to a century in the earth atmosphereThis gases are the products of the machines from industries. For example when you ON a petrol operated generator you see gasses coming out the gases coming out is called carbon monoxide a typical example of a green house gas. When this gasses are trapped in the earths atmosphere they absorb the heat from the sun and trap it within themselves making the earth hot.
Other examples of the green house gases are Carbon dioxide(Co2), Methane(CH4), Nitrous oxide(N2O) and the likes. They are generally referred to as air pollutants.
How does it affects the earth
Uncontrolled heat result in melting glaciers, which might latter cause flooding to nearby houses.
It causes climate change, climate change can have major repercussions for ecological systems effects of climate change are sometimes local, although some may be widespread and linked to changes in other regions through food chains, nutrient flows, and atmospheric and ocean circulation, among other things.
As the earth becomes more hot some populations could flourish as the environment changes, whereas others could decline.
Allergies, asthma, and infectious disease outbreaks will become more common due to increased growth of
pollen-producing ragweed, higher levels of air pollution, and the spread of conditions favorable to pathogens and mosquitoes.
The earth’s ocean temperatures will be getting warmer, which means that tropical storms can pick up more energy. So global warming could turn, say, a small storm into a more dangerous storm.
Will the earth survive Global warming
In the past the earth has warmed and cooled many times since its formation about 4.6 billion years ago. Global climate changes were due to many factors, including massive volcanic eruptions, which increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, changes in the intensity of energy emitted by the Sun and variations in Earth’s position relative to the Sun, both in its orbit and in the inclination of its spin axis.
Scientists project global warming to continue at a rate that is unprecedented in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of earth’s history. They predict more warming.
Today’s international debate on climate change is focused on the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This makes sense unless we start cutting emissions soon, atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases will continue to rise, making the impacts described above much more likely and severe. But this does not mean that we should not already plan how to adapt to a warmer world. Planning for adaptation can and should complement efforts to reduce emissions, and an early start would reduce the overall costs. Measures like Afforestation, planting of trees can help reduce the amount of carbon present in the atmosphere.
If the earth climates continues to change drastically and the effect of green house gases becomes rapid the earth will survive but humans will not survive.
Therefore, certain measures needs to be taken and it needs to start now.
