The gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants is the definition of global warming. Some people argue about the effects that cause global warming due to the change in climate, chopping down trees, and the loss of resources but the most important cause is the greenhouse effect.

The change in climate, chopping down trees and the loss of resources is some side effects of global warming. To start with, the change in climate affects global warming in many different ways. For example, hot and dry climates have caused the last 8 years of the world to be the hottest due to wildfires. These ginormous fires can end up harming humans, animals, vegetation, and structures. Also with the climate changing and the earth getting so hot, it happens to melt glaciers. For example melting of the glaciers affects humans, and animals. Humans mostly get their fresh water from the glaciers so without them we would lose a big portion of fresh water. Animals will lose there habitats and have no where to live so it will be hard for them to survive. Another example of a side effect on global warming is chopping down our resourceful trees and plants. For example, when construction workers go to cut down trees it just results in less oxygen. Plus you have to cut down more trees to make wood to either burn in a fire or build in a building. Last, the loss of resources results to causing global warming. Loss of resources means a lot to our planet earth. One way we can fix this is by recycling used materials such as, bottles, paper, metals. Anything reusable. Recycling can help by reducing the chopping of trees for paper.

The most important effect to global warming would be the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when heat and sunlight get trapped in the earths atmosphere and cant get out. For example, when you leave your car under the sun in the summer, the heat comes in threw the windows but, it has no way of getting out. Therefore, the tempature rises. Also, when the earth gets to hot, some animals and humans cant except the change and will probley die off. Which leads to extinction. But, the greenhouse effect can be useful in some ways to.For example, it locks in heat. And without the heat our earth would most likely be freezing.

In conclusion, global warming is caused by all types of things such as, change in climate, chopping down trees, the loss of resources, and the greenhouse effect. But humans can help some prevention of global warming, by recycling, and using less water etc.
