GLOBAL WARMING :- Definitions of global warming

Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises).  It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature.  This hurts many people, animals, and plants.  Many cannot take the change, so they die.

an increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere (especially a sustained increase that causes climatic changes) 
Global Warming is an album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, released on the Milestone label in 1998, featuring performances by Rollins with ...
 
An overall increase in world temperatures which may be caused by additional heat being trapped by greenhouse gases.
The progressive gradual rise of the earth's surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. An increase in the near surface temperature of the Earth. ...
 
An increase in the Earth's temperature caused by human activities, such as burning coal, oil and natural gas. This releases carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. ...

The greenhouse effect acts to warm the plant and increase average global temperatures. This is seen as a major environmental hazard as average temperatures rise, leading to a possible change in weather patterns and agricultural output. ...
The term given to the major consequence of the greenhouse effect. Scientists have long predicted and recently measured notable increases in the world's temperature. ...


A process that raises the air temperature in the lower atmosphere due to heat trapped by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, CFCs and ozone. ...


terms "climate change" and "global warming" are often used to mean the same thing. Global warming emphasises the rise in average temperatures of the earth.


The warming of the lower atmosphere due to the increased emission of greenhouse gases.

 The theory that the world's average temperature is increasing due to the burning of fossil fuels and other forms of energy resulting in higher atmospheric concentrations of gases such as carbon dioxide.

A gradual warming of the Earth's atmosphere reportedly caused by the burning of fossil fuels and industrial pollutants.


The idea that increased greenhouse gases cause the Earth's temperature to rise globally. (See climate change).

The steady rise in global average temperature in recent decades, which experts believe is largely caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions. The long-term trend continues upwards, they suggest, even though the warmest year on record, according to the UK's Met Office, is 1998.

Global warming relates to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's surface that has been observed in recent years, and it is projected to continue. It is debated as to whether this is a natural occurrence or whether human activity has impacted or accelerated it. ...
