The Greenhouse Effect
The 21st
century is a century of progress but also a century of huge environment
pollution. The greenhouse effect is a serious testimony of environmental
disaster. The gradual warming of the temperature of the air surrounding the
mother earth as a result of heat being trapped by environment pollution is
termed as ‘Greenhouse Effect’. Excessive use of carbon-di-oxide is worsening
the situation and thus heat cannot pass through the atmosphere. As a result,
temperature is increasing rapidly. Most climatologists believe the greenhouse
effect is the likely cause of this global warming. The cause of greenhouse effect
is the destruction of tropical rain forests, the rapid urbanization and
industrialization, the use of CFC’s and detergents etc. The oceans, the rivers,
the open fields and the atmosphere are being polluted by man. The burning of
fossil fuels and the widespread use of chemicals has threatened our existence. The
result of the greenhouse effect is terrifying. Temperatures may rise by as much
as 4°C by the next 50 years which could flood the coastal areas of Bangladesh and
many other low-lying countries. As a result, it can seriously destroy our wild
life and wilderness, rise in sea levels, and sharp fall in the crop production.
The bottom line is that the greenhouse effect is a serious environmental
disaster and we must stop deforestation and massive emission of carbon-di-oxide
to avoid this damage.
