Nowadays, some diseases have become widespread due to some human activities or changes in life style. There is a significant increase in the number of people who have died due to illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, heart attack and many others.

Occasionally, arises some outbreaks that threaten the masses. Avian flu, swine flu, etc. outbreaks have also caused serious problems to human beings. However, if we take the necessary precautions against these diseases, we can protect ourselves from these outbreaks.

However, there is a threat that can make all your investments meaningless. All 8 billion people have to cooperate against this threat. Global Warming!

Since the industrial revolution, especially due to the rapid increase in greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, di nitrogen monoxide, chlorofluorocarbon, wator vapor etc.) released into the atmosphere through various human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, the temperature rise on the earth and in the lower parts of the atmosphere is called global warming.

The increase in greenhouse effect leads to the cooling of the upper part of the atmosphere, the stratosphere, and the warming of the troposphere where is the below part. The surface of the earth is heated by the sun’s rays. The world reflects these rays back into the atmosphere, but some rays are held by a natural cover of water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane. This makes the earth warm enough. However, due to the recent burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, rapid population growth and increased consumption trend in the societies, the accumulation of carbon dioxide, methane and diazot monoxide gases in the atmosphere increased. This increase causes global warming.
