The level of earth’s temperature rising steadily and continuously is known as global warming. Because of various unnoticed practices practised by people all around the world, our planet’s surface is getting hotter and hotter every day. Because it is steadily and continuously lowering the chances for life on earth, global warming has emerged as the most concerning threat to the planet’s atmosphere. In order to ensure that we are on the correct track to fully resolving this issue, we must first consider the causes of global warming and their consequences on the atmosphere. The growing emission of CO2 into the atmosphere is what is causing the earth’s surface to continue warming. However, a number of factors, including deforestation, the use of coal, oil, and gas, the burning of fossil fuels, the burning of gasoline for transportation, the unnecessary use of electricity, etc., are to blame for the rising CO2 levels, which in turn contribute to an increase in global temperatures. Once more, it becomes the cause of things like increasing sea levels, flooding, storms, cyclones, damage to the ozone layer, altering weather patterns, dread of pandemic diseases, a lack of food, death, etc. Since every single person is accountable for the growing threat posed by global warming, which can only be mitigated by widespread understanding and the goodwill of everyone, we cannot place the blame for this on a single entity.
