Why is this happening?

First, I would like to note two factors contributing immensely to global warming, negatively.
The first type is natural causes, like volcanic and solar activities. While the other type goes to humans, where machinery emissions are rising everyday because of the major development taking place daily. What is the greenhouse effect, you say? Highly concentrated emissions like CO2, CH4 (also known as methane) and water vapor are the main cause of earth's current state. These gases along with water vapor create clouds that work like a barrier preventing heat waves from leaving the earth's atmosphere, and returning to it which makes the earth in a near-suffocating state. Compared to the natural causes of global warming, humans are at the roots of this phenomenon. For example, Factories are one source of CO2 and other gases. Also, daily activities like transportation have a huge effect on the atmosphere. This includes cars, airplanes, motorcycles, where these machines release CO2 every second in every day.

Upcoming next: The effects of Global Warming!

Ok...... now what?

As far as politicians are concerned, here are some pics to view their ideas:



As for little friends of humans, well..... here's what they think:



Till when will people think it's not a problem? This issue is greater than anything that has ever faced the earth in a long time.

Pics and..... pics?


The picture above explains the greenhouse effect on the atmosphere and shows the mechanism of how global warming happens.


This graph shows the Carbon-dioxide concentration in the atmosphere taken at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Needless to say, this line will soon break through the charts, and indicates the upcoming of a global crisis.




If you're not good with charts and statistics, here is a real picture of whats happening right now in Alaska. Slowly this will all be reduced to nothing but water...

To whom it may concern: What is global warming?

I'm very sure that everyone in this world have heard of what scientists would like to call "Global warming". To you people who don't know what it is: Global warming is the definition of the increased temperature of the earth's atmosphere, which is the product of human development industry such as greenhouses. Most global temperature changes that happened before were due to volcanic activities and such, which releases Carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere to a certain amount that has minor if not any effect on the global average temperature. You might want to ask "How will that affect our lives?" right about now. At first, the extra heat on earth will not only oblige you to buy A.C's or fans. In fact, It will affect the Arctic and Alaska in which will melt slowly, raising the sea level. With a little thinking, you'll notice that rising sea level means that lots of beach cities and islands will be completely submerged underwater. I will continue will providing further info on this topic later on.

About me, myself and my own...

Yo all, my name is Mohamed Al Obaidi. I'll try to make myself clear by making bullet points...

  • Born on 28th May, 1989.
  • Currently a student at HCT's ADMC.
  • Addicted to computers and subjects related...
  • Somehow the youngest student at college....(17 years old).
Recently, I've been trying to stop my addiction to online games(World of warcraft, to be specific) and its going well, so far. I love listening to classical music while doing homeworks or stuff like that. While in times of peace (no studies), I like listening to rock and metal music. I'm aiming to explore the wonders of this world someday.
Cheers...

Welcome

I welcome thee to my blog.

The blog will be discussing the world's number 1 issue: Global Warming.
Feel free to contribute in any way from emailing me to commenting on any post here.

Note: This is a project held in HCT.
