Reading Comprehention 9 form 2 semester

Global warming is a critical issue characterized by the potential for climatic changes and a rise in global temperatures, mainly attributed to human activities post the industrial revolution. Key causes include air pollution from factories and vehicles emitting harmful gases, leading to the destruction of the ozone layer and an imbalance in Earth's heat distribution.

• Over the last century, the average temperature has increased by about 1 degree.
• The industrial revolution marked the beginning of significant human impact on global warming.
• Air pollution, through the burning of fossil fuels, is a primary contributor.

The consequences of global warming are severe, including droughts, the drying up of rivers and lakes, forest fires, the melting of glaciers, and overall biodiversity loss. To mitigate these effects, conservation of natural resources, recycling, transitioning to electric vehicles, and reducing the use of aerosols are recommended strategies.
