Global
warming describes the phenomenon of rising temperatures
of the Earth.
Greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and
methane) trap the heat from the Sun,
thus increasing the temperature
of the surface of the Earth.
The increase in temperature
is reported to be responsible for
o the melting of polar ice
o increasing sea levels and flooding in some places
o islands / parts of islands going under water
o droughts in certain regions.

Pemanasan
Global / Sejagat
Pemanasan global merupakan fenomena peningkatan suhu Bumi. Gas-gas rumah hijau (seperti karbon dioksida, oksida nitrogen dan metana) memerangkap haba Matahari, dan dengan demikian menaikkan suhu permukaan Bumi. Peningkatan suhu ini dilaporkan bertanggung jawab
o meleburkan ais kutub
o meningkatkan paras air laut dan menyebabkan banjir di sesetengah kawasan
o menyebabkan sesetengah pulau ditenggelami air
o menyebabkan kemarau di sesetengah kawasan.
