Abstract

Global Warming. In simple words, Global warming refers to the exponential increase in the earth‘s surface temperature which further disrupts the natural habitats and biodiversity and hinders various physical processes of nature, therefore bringing us closer to the doomsday. It is too hot lately? Has it been all over the news recently? The answer is an obvious yes, and that being because Global Warming is an alarming issue. According to the article, ―2016 is going to be the hottest year ever‖, published in The Fortune by Jonathan Chew states, ―Last month was the hottest March in 137 years of tracking, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, making it 11 straight months that the Earth hit record highs in average temperature.‖ We have been seeing the thermometers setting up new records every year. Does it affect you in any way? It may not do so right now, but it will surely very soon. Over the past few years, there have been several articles and research studies that elucidate on the cause of climate change and global warming, and how much of climate change one can expect in the future.
