Global warming. Panic or reality?


1. What is global warming?
Global warming is the current rise in the average temperature of Earth's oceans and atmosphere.
2. What is the process involved in the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface, energy is transferred to the surface and the lower atmosphere. As a result, the temperature there is higher than it would be if direct heating by solar radiation were the only warming mechanism.
3. What signs warn us about global warming?
Increasing the temperature to the greenhouse effect and the disappearance of ice at the poles by increasing heat
4. Can you quote another term for global warming?
climate was warming; inadvertent climate modification, climate change
5. Watch the video and explain this idea: Global warming: panic or reality?
Global warming is real. We every day generate a lot of pollution and we contaminate the atmosphere a lot. The problem is caused by the oil, the fuel and gas because they generate a lot of pollution. They contaminate the air and also generate the greenhouse effect.
The temperature is increasing and a lot of plants and animals are dying for US.
But we can stop this problem, we can use renewable and clean energies like the wind, the solar power and the water.
