A potential Cause of Global Warming Burning of Fossil Fuels
Burning of fossil fuel is a hidden cause of global warming. Fossil fuels are being used as one of the major energy resources for industrial and domestic usage. Burning of Fossil Fuels
Nowadays, Electricity is one of the core necessities for living and it is produced mainly by combustion of coal that is a fossil fuel. The increasing consumption of fossil fuel such as crude oil, natural gas and coal has direct impact on increasing amount of Oxides in atmosphere.
Since the Industrial Revolution instigated in about 1750, carbon dioxide levels in atmosphere have amplified approximately by 38 percent till 2009 and methane levels have amplified by 48 percent. Nowadays , fossil fuel provides 90% of the total required energy on earth which is employed for industrial and domestic purpose and electricity production, remaining 10% is fulfilled by nuclear resources, wind energy, wood, charcoal and renewable energy. Our Dependence on Fossil fuel
The constant increase in global warming may cause climatically change on earth. The average surface temperature of globe has risen by approximately 0.6 degree Celsius during last century. Scientists predict that if carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, the planet will become warmer in the next century. Effects of Global Warming
At north and South Pole global warming is causing large ice burgs to melt and flow in oceans that raises sea water level. Increase in natural calamites on earth Coastal regions may flood due to sea level rise, altered weather patterns can result in more extreme weather happenings, and domestic farming regions could undergo an increase in the frequency of scarcity. Increase in forest fires and thus the land become barren
