The causes of global warming can be related

to:

• Greenhouse effect

• Natural processes

• Human activity

• Animal activity

The __________ is a natural phenomenon. Without it, life on our planet would not be possible. The Earth captures some of the Sun’s rays and keeps them within the atmosphere. It achieves the ideal temperature for life on the Earth.

The main causes of Greenhouse Effect are:

• Industrial activity

• Animal waste

• Deforestation

• Glaciations

• Forest fires

Consequences of Greenhouse Effect:

• Changes in

  precipitations

• The increase of the

  temperature in the

  planet

• Human activity

• The melting of the

  polar caps and

  glaciers

• Floodings in coastal

  areas due to rising

  sea levels

Solutions to reduce the Greenhouse Effect:

• Using more

  renewable energy

  and public transport

• Involving

  governments in

  decision making

• Recycling properly

• Start using non-renewable energy sources

• Promoting ecological

  awareness among

  citizens
