global warming

                                                        Global Warming  
                                        
                                        It is a phenomenon in which the temparture of the earth is increasing due to burning of        fossil-fuel (coal,oil & gases). The earth's climate has undergone changes, both on global & regional scale, particularly in the last few decades. India has also unpredictable weather this year. the winters have lasted longer than usual, untimely rains before cutting of crops & sudden rise of temparture during the day.
 
   How it happens? 
                  The sun rays coming from the sun are very strong. the earth absorbs some heat & rest of it is reflected back.This  reflected energy is blocked by the green house gases which are hanging in the atmosphere.

  Effects of global warming

  • Polar caps melting
  • Economic consequences
  • Warmer waters & more hurricanes
  • Spread of diseases
What should be done?
The technologies of the automobiles engines, aircrafts emission, working of thermal plants have to be reviewed.
