Greenhouse Effect
From what I know of greenhouse gases, containing gases like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and many more. The green house effect is a major blow to the environment. It is when these gases trap that sunlight which is supposed to be reflected back to space, but it cannot occur due to these green house gases. Then the greenhouse effect occurs.
This is when those trapped heat increase the temperature all around the world as they are not able to be reflected back to space. This process is called global warming. Global warming is a big problem for environmentalist. The increased temperature causes both the ice at the north and South Pole to melt, causing the rise in sea level. This might lead to flooding in those low lying areas or those countries completely surrounded by water.
Then, tropical diseases like Malaria will tend to spread more easily as the world temperature is on the rise. Also many living things like some plans might not be able to adapt to the temperature change and will die in the heat. Flooding also might cause the loss of some new species of plant which is not yet discovered to die, resulting in the lost of valuable medicine.
Furthermore, the water cycle might also be affected and so does the rain fall. Without stable rainfall, some crops might not be able to survive too. This might result in the lost of agriculture. Thus the food produced might not be able to support the increasing population.
Therefore, greenhouse effect is a very serious matter which cannot be dealt with lightly as it can cause a great impact to the environment.
