This blog site is all about the effects of global warming and the adverse effects being noticed today and in the near and distant future. Climate change will make the world more fragrant, as warming temperatures make plants release more chemicals, according to a major scientific review. Who is to blame, have your say.

What are the key causes? Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, all greenhouse gases that help trap heat near Earth’s surface. Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.

Some experts point out that natural cycles in Earth’s orbit can alter the planet’s exposure to sunlight, which may explain the current trend. Earth has indeed experienced warming and cooling cycles roughly every hundred thousand years due to these orbital shifts, but such changes have occurred over the span of several centuries. Today’s changes have taken place over the past hundred years or less.
