In
the recent 20 years, global warming had tremendous
effect to the environment. The cause of global warming is mainly due to greenhouse effect created by mankind. While the effect of global warming is the huge changes in weather around the cause and cause a lot of natural disaster. For example, there are more cases of catastrophic storm happening around the world, lightning strike at University Technology PETRONAS become more frequent and even snowing in dessert area.

For example, there are more cases of catastrophic storm happening around the world, lightning strike at University Technology PETRONAS become more frequent and even snowing in dessert area.
Besides that, the number of case
where patient die because of cancer has become more and more. This is due to
the exposure to excessive UV rays from the sunlight that enters the Earth’s
atmosphere and causes the skin cell mutate to form cancer cell. For example,
the most abundant cancer that can be found in this century is skin cancer. From
the research done by World Health Organization, it shows that the number of
skin cancer patients have increased rapidly for 80% in the past 10 years.
Moreover, global warming can also
cause economic problems to the country. One country needs a huge amount of
money just to cover the maintenance cost of the building and other facilities.
This is due to acid rain form by the disposed waste from factories. The acid
rain can corrode building and historic monument. For example, the yearly
maintenances cost for the statue of liberty is 10 million dollar, which cause a
huge burden for the country.
As my conclusion, global warming has
haunted us for decades. So, we need to bring a halt to this problem by
committing to the efforts from all section of the society. Hoping that the next
generations would have a brighter future.
