Biodiversity is the variation of Earth’s terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species, as well as their habitats. Biodiversity is vital to the survival of all life on earth and is also the cornerstone for the goods and services of the environment that allow human societies to thrive. Biodiversity provides us with food, water and resources as well as services such as climate control, pollination, flood mitigation and cycling of nutrients
The IPCC says 10 years is all we have. Start your own initiatives to be a climate change leader. Help ensure we halt, even reduce global warming. Help ensure we protect our streams and rivers to ensure our life line.
Share widely with clubs in your city and across your district. Be a climate leader. Say I Can.

The Impact of Global Warming on the Global ClimateIJERA Editor
Global warming is the gradual rise in environmental temperature due to depletion of the Ozone layer. The increase in the environmental temperatures is due to amplified rate of industrial development. In this case, most industries have contributed to the dangers associated with warming. The paper seeks to discuss global warming from various perspectives. It commences with an introduction highlighting the general information about the topic. The second part focuses on both natural and artificial causes while the last part discusses the effects on both humans and atmosphere

a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
1. The Objectives
1. To explain briefly the definition of global warming.
2. To list causes of the global warming.
3. To discuss our views about the effects of the phenomenon.
4. To explain precautions that should be taken.
Research Question
1. What is the definition of global warming ?
2. What is the main factors of the phenomenon ?
3. How did the phenomenon occur during the years 2005 until 2010 ?
4. What are the measures which can be taken to reduce the phenomenon ?
Definition of the global warming
Global warming is a popular term used to a state the rise in average global
temperature of the world due to the greenhouse effects.There is an increase in the
volume of the water level due of the phenomenon
( Enzinemark.com : 2010 ) .
In the same way,while Silver Jerry said based on his research which the
global warming can be defined as a condition of increased environmental
2. temperature higher than normal temperature.Our the last hundred years,
the earth average temperature has increased about three quarters of a
degree centigrade (1.3 " F).In contrast, global warming is defined as
occuring by the nature and mankind activities such as deforestating, burn
of fossil, emmision of CFC and carbon dioxide from the industries.In the
short form, the temperature will rise worsely for our environment
( Enzinemark.com : 2010 ).

Emissions Scenarios (Special Report on Emission Scenarios, 2000).
3. Literature Review
The global warming began in 1970s, when the Tun Hussien Onn become
Prime Minister at Malaysia. When he took legacy from Tunku Abdul Razak
to spread Felda more huge projects enabled terrace plantation to be done.
In contrast when Tun Dr Mahathir became Prime Minister, he innovated
Malaysia to become a developing country. Tun Dr.Mathathir emphasized
the industrial sector. The country's temperature rose more than average.
Deforestation affects to the green house due to development and industrial
sectors.
4. Activities to increase global warming may affect Earth's temperature
to human health. According to a study conducted by the World Health
Organization (WHO), climate change that has occurred since the 1970's has
led to 150 thousand deaths per year due to the increased incidence of
disease. Viruses, bacteria and bacterial disease is said to be more
widespread. In the past, influenza disease can only be attacked when the
cold season (four seasons in the country) or in the rainy season (in the
tropical country), but now began to attack regardless of the season
( http: www.sabah.org.my ) .
According to Fredolin Tangang@Tajudin Mahmud he interpreted
global warming in the different way, which is he said global warming
occurred by the human crime activities that related to environment such as
the increases green house gases
( CO2,NH4, N20) concentration and alter the earth’s atmospheric
compositions and earth’s heat budget. Furthermore he also explained
about a small amount of the heat energy emitted from the surface passes
through the atmosphere directly to space. Most is absorbed by greenhouse
gas molecules and contributes to the energy radiated back down to warm
the surface and lower atmosphere. Increasing the concentrations of
greenhouses gases increases the warming of the surface and slows loss of
energy to space ( http // www.ocean.ukm)
Causes of global warming
5. Nowadays the issue of the global warming has more popular that we could
find from any sources since the past few years. As we know from the
general information, global warming occurs when our temperature
environment increase affected from greenhouse. However the human are
still not aware about this current issue. They might be thinking that it is a
small matter problem. As result without efforts to find the solution it could
be destroy our environment.
There are various causes why the global warming is happen in
Malaysia? Based on our views, the main causes are human activities.
Several these kind activities are still non stop especially cutting down the
main forests. They want to get the profit without thinking the effect on
earth. Furthermore, when all the rain forests are cutting down the
temperature become hot. It is because the sunlight of radiation on earth
surface. In the same way, the greenhouse will affect for environment.
On the other hand, burning fossil also the causes of global warming.
When the fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal are burned, all these
substances are changing to carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide it could
give worse for earth. In addition, forests are very important role in the cycle
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Acid rain also the problem causes for this phenomenon. When acid
rain is running it could causes the building especially at the wall will
started erode. It is very dangerous for the people who live in the building.
6. The lands also become acid when the acid rain is running and the plants
will die effect from acid rain. If the human aware about this phenomenon
our environment will not destroy from this causes of global warming. The
government should be taken this issue more seriously so that our
environment is safe from humankind.
Effects of Global Warming
Global Warming will affect human through our food,water supplies and health
conditions.The sudden change in climate patterns are dangerous to human body
which won’t be able to endure the extreme conditions,a hint of which can be seen in
the form of frequent heat waves and cold waves.
Many people will die because of lack of food production due to frequent drought
and floods phenomenon.For instance,the increase of ocean waters level will affect
fisherman survival.The extremely temperature also cause human’s health problems
such as asthma,fever,dry skin and respitory systems problem.This situation lead to
increases of dealth rates,particularly among the child,adult,very old people and the
poorer can double or triple during the days of unusually high temperatures and
humidity.Similarly,The global warming also affect our environment.Forests are an
important of global resorce,it can providing wildlife habitat,fresh air and water and
aesthetic values.The green forest also importance for animals to make
photosynthesis process through the sunlight.However,the deforestation activity will
affect to flora and fauna and they will be destroyed.The living things will lose their
shelter due to the cutting down of trees.As a result,many animals and plants are
extinction.Therefore we should find measures to preserve our trees from any illegal
activities and keep healthy of our environment.
7. Precautions Should Be Taken
One of the causes of global warming is the use of less environmentally
friendly energy such as diesel oil consumption and much more. Through
the use of environmentally friendly energy such as solar, biomass, biofuels
and others. For Example in Malaysia the government has intensified
research on the use of biofuels the vehicles in Malaysia. Besides, the
creation of hybrid cars by the world’s major car companies like Toyota and
Ford. In addition, the government intended to use hydroelectric power to
supply electricity to the entire population of the country smart. For
example, the largest dam construction on the dam at Bakun, Sarawak is
able to supply electricity to Peninsular and Bornoe. The use of solar panels
can reduce the greenhouse effect. Japan is among countries that use solar
panel to supply electricity.
The operation that can be done by the community effort to reduce the
problem of global warming is changing the attitude to be more concerned
about the environment. For example the use of bicycle or public transport
to get work or school. Use a more friendly light as LED ( Light Emitting
Diode ) light. For example in Portland, United States. LED light have been
used in signal lights around Portland.This can be reduce the problem of
global warming. In Malaysia, several attempts have been to reduce the
global warming as a campaign to reduce plastic bags use by NGOs, the
public and the construction of a systematic public transport system such
8. as light Rail Transit ( LRT ) and so fourth. Recent government plans to
build a mass Rail Transit (MRT). This is intended to encourage use of
public transport. This shows the government’s efforts to cooperate with the
people in reducing the problem of global warming ( Johanson, 2006 ) .
Conclusion
In conclusion, the phenomenon of global warming should be taken
seriously by all parties to ensure the physical and human environment are
not affected by this deck as a result of global
warming. Thus, various incentives have to be taken by the authorities
include non government organization, and government and individuals to
enhance their ownself-awareness about the
factors that lead to global warming as outlined above. Accordingly,
the factor of global warming not only affect the people and the
environment,even in economic terms at all. Thus, the
community and all parties should be sensitive to each of their actions that
could lead to this global phenomenon in order to avoid a more
severe negative impact and to ensure the prosperity
of this land remains for the next generations.
