Global Warming Earth's temperature is a vital aspect of the Earth and its surroundings. Atmospheric temperature along with natural gases are the main reasons why the Earth lives its entire life. When changes occur that alter the natural effects of the earth's environment, there are factors that put the environment at risk. Increasing global temperature warming is a major concern for the Earth's surrounding environment. Global warming is an important source for considering how and why the environment, coastal areas, water resources, agriculture, food supply and the health of human life have changed. There are numerous reasons why global warming has had such an effect on the environment, but the main factors are natural causes and human activity. The main purpose of this research is to provide factors that explain why global warming occurs and information on why global warming has such an effect on Earth's geological events along with solutions to control global warming. The importance of understanding global warming will monitor the impact it has on the earth's environment. Global warming is the increase in the warming effect of atmospheric temperature resulting in a change in the Earth's climate (USGS.gov, 2008). The increase in temperature is the result of two greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane being filtered and trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. The layers of Earth's atmosphere serve to protect life from high-energy radiation and the freezing vacuum of space (nasa.gov, 2010), but if the layers of the atmosphere become thinner, its vital protective role will diminish. Landfill waste, industries and deforestation are the reason why global warming exists, which in turn will affect all life on Earth.
