INTRODUCTION

Global warming (rising temperatures in the atmosphere and oceans in recent years) is a really worrying issue because our survival is seriously threatened and every country in the world, every region, and every citizen today suffers of the consequences of the "greenhouse effect".

This greenhouse effect (or global warming) is produced by industrial human activities into the atmosphere shed more carbon dioxide (CO2) from which our planet is willing to support and process, 80% of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change are related to energy production and consumption.

GLOBAL WARMING

Glaciers are melting, sea levels rise up, forests are drying, and wildlife struggle to keep pace. It is increasingly clear that humans have caused most of the warming of the last century, by emitting heat-trapping gases, to enhance our modern life. Called greenhouse gases and their levels are getting higher, now and in the past 65,000 years.

We call the result of global warming, but it is causing a series of changes in the Earth's climate.

CAUSES

The presence of CO2 in the atmosphere and other gases responsible for the greenhouse effect that reaches the Earth are held in the atmosphere. As a result of this heat, the average temperature on the Earth's surface reaches about 60 ° F, which is conducive to the development of life on the planet. However, as a result of burning fossil fuels and other human activities associated with the process of industrialization, the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere has increased considerably in recent years. This has caused the atmosphere to retain more heat than it should, and is the cause of what we know today as warming or global climate change.

CONSEQUENCES

Global warming will cause a lot of damage and faster than expected, temperatures will rise between 1.5 and 2.5 degrees, sea level will rise too and 30% of all species will disappear.

In Ecuador, for example, the consequences are devastating as the snow that provides water to Quito is the snow-covered Antisana which according to recent studies is melting exponentially. Since that step it´s estimated that by 2020 it will suffer serious problems. Quito supplies water to its inhabitants.

The effect of the melting poles results in that the sea water increase their levels and produces that coastal cities are affected by rising sea levels that flood these sites, besides the winter and summer periods (such as Guayaquil and Manabí populations) are unpredictable, ie to be very prolonged drought and then periods of rain too intense capable of flooding the crops and the people, making it very difficult or impossible to the economic survival of many of them.

CONCLUSION

Global warming is a problem that permanently affects us in different ways, causing human and material losses, unless we take immediate action to stop it in about 100 years there will be major consequences for humanity and all living things.

It requires urgent attention of all the inhabitants of the world to run plans and environmental actions to prevent this problem continues.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Can we do something to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences of global warming?

Everyone can do something to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and global warming consequences. Among other things, we should:

Reduce electricity consumption

Use fluorescent bulbs

Limit water consumption

Make greater use of solar energy

Plant trees around the house to reduce the use of air conditioners

Recycling aluminum cans, plastic and glass, as well as cardboard and paper

Purchase products without packaging or recycled or recyclable packaging

Using recycled paper

Walk or use public transport

Make efficient use of the automobile

Create awareness in others about the importance of taking actions to reduce the impact of global warming
