GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming refers to the increase of Earth's (land, ocean, and air) average temperature. It caused by the green house effect. Green house effect is an effect that caused by green house gases such as carbon dioxide, metane, dinitrogen oxide, etc. But, fromall of the green house gases, carbon dioxide is the biggest contributors on the global warming process. Green house gases called like that because of their ability to create thin layer in the atmosphere that can reflect the heat back to the Earth and keep the heat in the Earth, just like a process that usually happen in the green house.

Human activities that use fossil fuel are the biggest cause of green house gases' increasing in the atmosphere. Because, until today many power plants are still using fossil fuel to operate their machines. So, when we are watching television, turning on the air conditioner, turning on the light, washing by using washing machine, and doing other activities that use electricity, We also give contribution to the global warming process.

Global warming is very influence the Earth's life and its content. Because of global warming, almost every glacier in Alaska ismelting now. Then, the rise of sea level cause millions of coastal area's population in Carribean, Japan, Philiphina, and Indonesia have to prepare to move to the higher area.

As the next generation, we have tojoin in the effort to take care of our Earth. The effort can we start from ourselves and our surroundings by economizing electricity consume and reducing the use of fossil fuel. One thing that we can do is using publi transportation, using bicycle, or going on foot in our everyday activities better than using personal vehicle.
