Global Warming

Global Warming 
Global warming is the process when the earth heats up and the temperature rises. This happens when there is an increase in the production of gases like carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide and methane, which are known as greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, and this in turn increases the temperature and causes global warming. Did you know that since the beginning of the 20th century, the average temperature of the Earth has risen by 0.8 degree Celsius? Global warming hurts people, animals and plants . In fact, many cannot take the change, so they die out.
