Global warming is the observed and projected increases in the average temperature of Earths atmosphere and oceans. The Earths average temperature rose about 0.6° Celsius (1.1° Fahrenheit) in the 20th century According to different assumption about the future behaviour of mankind, a projection of current trends as represented by a number of different scenarios?gives temperature increases of about 3° to 5°?C (5°?to 9°?Fahrenheit) by the year 2100 or soon afterwards. Global Warming Causes: A Top 5 List Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline for transportation Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood pulp ,and farmland Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands? Methane emissions from animals?, agriculture such as rice paddies, and from Arctic seabeds Every day, more electric gadgets flood the market, and without widespread alternative energy sources, we are highly dependent on burning coal for our personal and commercial electrical supply. With our population growing at an alarming rate, the demand for more cars and consumer goods means that we are increasing the use of fossil fuels for transportation and manufacturing .Our consumption is outpacing our discoveries of ways to mitigate the effects.
