Global Warming And Climate Change: A Sociological Study

Abstract

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the earths average temperature due to changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere. The process of global warming is closely related to the idea of green house effect the build of heat trapping green house gasses within the earths atmosphere. Global warming and climate change are pressing issues that transcend environmental concerns, encompassing social, economic, and political dimensions. Sociology provides a critical framework for understanding the human factors driving climate change.    Global warming has become the biggest problem of the world today. Not only humans but every living creature on earth is troubled by it. Efforts are being made all over the world to deal with it, but till now no effective solution is visible.

    The earth naturally receives heat from the sun's rays. These rays pass through the atmosphere and hit the earth's surface and then get reflected from there and return back. Some greenhouse gases are also present in the earth's atmosphere which form a kind of natural cover over the earth. This cover stops a part of the returning rays, which keeps the earth's atmosphere warm. As the greenhouse gases increase, this cover becomes thicker and starts stopping more rays of the sun. This is where global warming begins.
