Global warming is an international disaster. Its effects and control have dominated virtually all facets of modern human life. The effects of global warming are not just about blowing hot air in the pursuit of delivering chilling information. This phenomenon has devastating consequences for all, regardless of geographical location. One of the most commonly known effects is the heating up of the atmosphere. Scientists have shown that there is a direct correlation between the increase in carbon dioxide levels and an increase in the temperature of the earth. This heating up has caused the melting of the ice caps at the poles.
