    SAMPLE

    Due to selfish human activities and overuse of natural resources, global


    warming is taking place, which poses danger to humankind. Write an article to
    highlight the effects of global warming using the hints given below.

    Hints :

    • Increase in Earth’s temperature between 0.4-0.8 degrees Celsius.


    • Increased levels of greenhouse gases and excessive cutting of trees are
    the major causes.
    • Further rise between 1.4-5.8 degrees Celsius by 2100.
    • Rising sea levels, severe storms, and other severe weather conditions.
    • Can lead to ocean acidification, the collapse of tropical rain forests, and
    huge masses of ice falling into oceans.
    • Preventive steps should be taken to check global warming.

    Answer :

    Effects of Global Warming


    By Namita Jain

    Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in average surface temperature


    of the earth and its oceans. The average temperature of the earth has risen
    between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years.
    The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released
    by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture and other human
    activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has
    occurred over the past 50 years. The temperatures could further increase
    between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global
    warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps,
    as well as an increase in the occurrence and severity of storms and other severe
    weather events.
    There exists a real risk of a global catastrophe if global warming is left
    unchecked. It includes oceanic acidification leading to the mass death of coral
    and plankton, the basis of the Earth’s food chain,- the total collapse of the
    tropical rainforests,- an ice sheet of the size of Greenland or Antarctica falling
    into the ocean, causing a near-instantaneous rise in worldwide sea levels of at
    least five meters.
    Solutions to such a vast problem require the capability to face the challenges
    posed, as the issues raised by global warming begin to be seriously addressed.
