Our environment includes all living and non-living things on our planet earth. Earth is a beautiful place with lavish green lands, diverse species, oceans and natural resources. The valuable things in the natural environment are natural resources. But over the past few decades global warming is causing serious damage to our environment..

 Global Warming:  Impact on Environment:

Global warming is the rise in the temperature of the earth and atmosphere caused by the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This release of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has severe effects on our environment. The air, water and atmosphere are toxified due to the greenhouse gas effects. Rise in population, burning of fossil fuels, clearing forests, farming and destroying garbage are major causes of global warming

Let us have a look at some severe impacts of global warming on our environment:

•     Global warming causes more frequent and severe heat waves that give rise to several health hazards for living species.
•     Many species are affected by the rise in temperature and we are also losing some of the species due to global warming. The range of species that depend on cooler weather will face withering habitats.
•     Since the past century sea levels have raised 6.7 inches due to global warming. Ocean Glaciers melt when the earth gets warmer causing sea levels to rise.
•     Global warming also causes rise in acidification of the oceans chemistry due to the effect of carbon dioxide in atmosphere reacting to salt water. This creates risk for the ocean species.
•     Natural calamities such as droughts and floods have become more common due to global warming.
•     Due to severe heat stokes and wildfires several trees on the mountain are dying.
•     More pressure on groundwater will rise due to droughts.

Thus, global warming is a serious problem exploiting our environment and has to be prevented. We need to protect our environment from getting damaged further and avoid activities that cause damage to environment. Planting more and more trees and protecting forests and reforestation should be encouraged. Educating people about population control is vital. It is important for us to save more and more energy and decrease the use of fuels.
