Global Warming and its Effect in Nigeria(via @wickedstepmami)

Lately the heat wave all over the country has been unbearable. Even with the rain, the heat is still unbearable.
Have you ever wondered why the sun is So hot? The heat is caused by global warming.
Global warming is the rise in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere.
It occurs when greenhouse gases are trapped in the atmosphere, with nowhere to go, they are retained in the atmosphere. this is called the green house effect.
A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.[1] The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
The effects of global warming include extreme weather conditions,heat due to the depletion of the ozone layer by the greenhouse gases, flood, shortage of water due to climate change.
Global warming can be solved by setting limits on pollution(the kyoto protocol in Japan deals with emission of gases, emission is outlawed in some states). Another solution is investing in clean energy, planting more trees as they purify the environment,stopping bush burning, recycle instead.
Driving smarter cars and using clean electricity such as solar powered electricity.
