In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful
Greenhouse effect indicates the gradual warming of the air surrounding the earth as a result of heat being trapped by environment pollution. It is now generally accepted that the continuing build-up of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere will lead to substantial global warming. Global warming is caused by the accumulation of certain gases called greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The most important greenhouse gas is carbon di-oxide. Others are methane, nitrous oxide, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and Ozone. The carbon dioxide is primarily responsible for temperature rise in atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is given off when coal and oil are burnt. As a result, the ice covering the North and the South poles is melting and may eventually lead to a rise in sea levels which can flood many areas of the world. Scientists have already given warning that some parts of coastal countries including Bangladesh may go under water due to greenhouse effect. The total area of deserts is increasing every year. Many species of animals and plants are endangered with the threat of extinction. Some steps should be taken to stop greenhouse effect and global warming. Firstly, deliberate cutting down of forests must be stopped. Secondly, tree plantation programmes should be adopted soon. At same time media can also play role in this respect.
