Abstract Global warming is a shared conclusion of a vast number of climate models that predict that the imbalance in the carbon cycle due to the surplus of greenhouse gases/CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons) caused by human activity. The warming effect is not the danger imposed on society but its effects to the earth’s climate. Global warming is a real issue that needs to be taken care of sooner than later. It can not be stopped, but it can be decelerated which gives more time for earth to be ready. If the entire human race acts together, the rate of global warming can be reduced and in effect, make the world last longer for future generations. Actions have been taken against global warming, but awareness needs to be spread in order for more individuals to realize that global warming is a real concept; and that it can pose as a danger to society. Global warming - also known as "climate change" - is nothing new or abnormal. Throughout the history of the earth, the average surface temperature, climate and greenhouse gas concentrations have changed, sometimes gradually other times quite sharply. During the past 10,000 years the earth has been in an interglacial period with a fairly stable climate, surface temperature, and greenhouse gas concentration. In recent times, the number of greenhouse gases: CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone) are increasing and the cause is mostly to the fault of human activity. These activities are mostly due to the result of the Industrial Revolution which allowed the formation of factories that produce fossil fuels towards the creation of goods used for trade. In addition, trade also creates fuels due to the necessity of using vehicles to transport goods, which emit fossil fuels. CO2, most notably has increased by .3% which breaks down to 6.8 tons per person. These gases emitted from human actions activate the fourfold ecological process of global warming. It begins from the Sun which radiates sunlight through space, to Earth’s Atmosphere. Next, the sunlight enters the atmosphere and reaches Earth. Some of the sunlight turns into heat energy and another part takes the form of infrared light.The heat is absorbed by surrounding air and land, which in turn makes the earth warm. Finally, the infrared rays that are remitted into the atmosphere are trapped by greenhouse gases. All things in moderation do not have much of a disastrous effect but quite frankly, the Earth has a superfluous amount of greenhouse gases in its atmosphere which in turn is heating the Earth more than necessary, evidently causing global warming. The disastrous effects of global warming have already begun to leave traces of its marks. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes are breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted, and trees are flowering sooner. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is made up of 1300+ scientists internationally, has already hypothesized that over a span of 100 years temperature will rise up to 2.5 to 10 degrees fahrenheit. The organization predicts that the increase in global temperature will prove harmful to many regions of
