Global warming is a problem that should be an interest for everyone because it affects everyone. Excess gas emissions into the atmosphere, causes the greenhouse effect, which in turn causes an increase in the average temperature of the planet. It is said that, in this century the Earth's global temperature will increase by 1-6 degrees, it may look simple, but the increase in degree by degree will bring drastic consequences. When the earth reaches the 3rd degree of increase, we are not going to be able to do anything else, because the warming is going to become uncontrollable and will cause the disappearance of the Amazon because of the huge fires that will be impossible to stop, that is very serious because it will cause the temperature to rise 1 or 2 degrees.
We must be clear also, that gas emissions are not only caused by factories and automobiles, but also for those "small" emissions; ranging from cigarette smoke, insecticides, pesticides, fertilizers and spending excessive power, that do the same and sometimes, in overall, they cause more damage than the same cars and factories.
But, is the gas emission the only factor of this big problem? No, there are many other causes; the main one is the population explosion causing a chain reaction. With more people, there is a need to increase resources and space (with the growth of cities), induce an overexploitation of natural resources, soil erosion, with persistent logging and creating new fields, this cause a serious ecological imbalance affecting the constantly changing weather. No wonder then that in places regularly cold there are high temperatures and that in places where the heat was a constant, frosts have arisen.
