Global Warming

Global warming refers to the increase of the earth's average surface temperature,due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Due to the observerd incrase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations via an enchange greenhouse effect. Natural phenomen such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times. 

Natural gás, coal, petroleum..

Global warming causes broader changes, including glacial melting Arctic shrinkage, and worldwide sea level rise, changes in the amount and pattern of frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Other effects may include changes in agricultural yields, addition of new trade routes summer stream flows species extinctions.

Water vapor, methane, ozone, carbon dioxide.

Other interesting or unique Other interesting or unique facts or features are :facts or features are : The average humidity is between 77% and 88%. In

monsoonal areas, there is a real day season. Almost all rain forests lie near the equator. Rain forests, now cover less than 6% of earth's landsurface. Scientists estimate that more than half or all the worlds plant and animal species live in tropical rain forest, tropical forest produce 70% of earth's oxygen.
