Global Warming: Causes of Global Warming:-

Introduction

Before I go telling you about myself I need to stop a minute and tell you why I did this Blog. People, Animals, Plants and many other living things die everyday of pollution and many other reasons and we sit and live our lives fully without even caring about them. Earth is hurting while we are ignoring the fact that it is dying. Yes, I was one of these people who lives without any concerns on what is happening with earth and many other things that we think is minor in this life, while it is not. However, now after I read about it, I am trying my best to find a way to be helpful by showing it to you and making you aware of what is going on.

My name is Abdullah Al-Jaberi. I am a twenty years old student majored in Civil Engineering at the Higher College of Technology since 2006. My family consists of my parents, three sisters, two nephews and a niece. It has been such a pleasant and fulfilling environment that I have grew up in as the youngest child at the house.Looking at my way forward during school days, I was thinking of growing up to be a doctor one day and suddenly my life has been drifted to another direction and I am very glad that it did.
I am not really into sports because I tried everything, but I always used to be the shortest and slowest one in the team so I quit. I enjoy watching TV shows and Far East cartoons (anime), listening to music and surfing the net.
My goal is to be a successful Civil Engineer or to rule the earth ''MmmWaaAhahAaHaaAAa'' (^_^) joking …. I hope someday people will sense what the earth is going through and try to find a way to solve these horrifying circumstances, because this depend on the life of our children and grand children.

Burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation is the main cause of global warming. About 93% of the carbon dioxide is emitted from the electric utility industry. Coal emits about 1.7 times as much carbon as natural gas. Natural gas gives out 50% carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is emitted from cars too; about 20% of carbon dioxide comes from the burning of gasoline in the internal combustion engines of cars and other kind of vehicles. Carbon dioxide is emitted from airplanes and it causes about 3.5 % of global warming and it will rise as years pass by. Methane is also one of the major gases which contribute to global warming. While carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, methane is second most important. It is twenty times more effective than carbon dioxide in trapping the heat in the atmosphere. Another greenhouse gas is nitrous oxide; it is a colorless non-flammable gas with a sweet smell. It is produced naturally in oceans and rain forests. Some examples of manmade nitrous oxides are nylon nitric acid and fertilizers. Deforestation is also another main cause of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The destroying of forests is throwing hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.
