One of the global problems of the atmosphere is a greenhouse effect. This is recognized by the entire international community (in an international conference of scientists on the issue of anthropogenic climate change, held in 1988 in Toronto, at international conferences in Kyoto and Rio de Janeiro, and others.).
A negative consequence of the greenhouse effect is climate change in the direction of warming.
The cause of the greenhouse effect is the accumulation in the atmosphere of so-called "greenhouse" gases: carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, galogennouglerodov and other industrial gases..
They miss the sunlight to the earth, but prevent the penetration of heat rays from the Earth's surface into space. There is accumulation of heat in the atmosphere and global warming. For the last fifty years the temperature has risen by 1.2-1.4 ° C, and is forecast by the year 2100 it could rise by 5.8 ° C.
The consequences of global warming will be the following phenomena: the flooding of low-lying areas of the planet; increased precipitation, severity and frequency of emergencies; movement of climatic zones to the North Pole; more frequent hot periods; food shortages and famine; deterioration of water quality; the rapid development of pathogenic organisms.
People and ecosystems will have to adapt to future climatic regimes.
The most prudent response to climate change is to reduce emissions and control (providers of "greenhouse" gases).
