Concern Over Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect, by definition, is a process by which the atmosphere is assailed by an excess of carbon dioxide. What happens is that carbon dioxide released in large quantities by industries collects at the lower part of the earth’s upper atmosphere. As a result, part of the heat that is reflected by the earth is absorbed by this carbon dioxide and returned to earth as heat. This shield, so to speak, lets the sunlight through to the earth but prevents some of the heat from the earth from escaping beyond it. It is believed that the earth’s climates will change with an increase in temperature by 5 to 9 degrees by about the year 2050. This heat will cause the release of poisonous gases on an unwary earth and in addition melt the polar ice and glaciers throughout the world and cause flooding. The chaos can well be imagined.

Now what is happening that is really alarming is that the destruction of plants continues-especially in the rainforest belt. In addition, factories continue to be built. The anticipated result is obvious. Since oxygen producers are decreasing and carbon dioxide producers are increasing, there will soon be too much carbon dioxide for the plants to neutralize. The full effects of the greenhouse effect may be felt.

This is certainly a cause for everyone’s deep concern and immediate actions must be taken to reverse the damage that is being done before it becomes irreversible. The world cannot speak and thus we have to speak for the world. Now is the time to come forward and heal the world for the earth’s deterioration is mankind’s detriment.
