Global warming since my childhood I'm listening this term again and again and again. But when I listen this term it is always attached with a bad news, and from my childhood it only progressing towards the worse side only, which affecting and damaging everything on the world slowly. And we can feel that the melting of glaciers, the high heat waves, extreme and frequent natural disasters, and abnormalities in temperature and behaviour of each season. But why it is happening, how it affects the life of all species and what will be the solution.

Why it is happening?
In simple because of humans because of there inhuman activities, like :- burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and heavy industrialisation, there are some few small causes and natural phenomenon also who have a little role but these three are the major thing which is increasing global warming and climate change in a rapid manner.
Burning of Fossil Fuels:- Burning of natural fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gases for production of energy for different uses is also generating and releasing green house gas like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a large amount which traps the heat in earth's atmosphere and result in the increament of global warming.

Heavy Industrialisation:- There nothing to tell more we practically seen how much poisonous, polluted gasses they are releasing throughout there processing. And mostly they release sulfur dioxide, methane and nitrox oxide which are playing role in the pollution of air and storing heat in earth's atmosphere.
Deforestation:- For the personal need of the human, he is cutting down trees and destroying forests like nothing and it is decreasing the capacity of earth to absorb this type of green houses gases.
How it is affecting Global Ecosystem and Biodiversity?
As I discussed humans do some inhuman activities which releases different green house gases in a large amount to the atmosphere and which causes global warming and lead to climate change. And this warming plays a major role in the increase of temperature in sea water which, is not suitable for all the marine creatures and plants, so they try to migrate from that place and in this process some creatures survive and others became extinct.
It also plays a role in melting of big glaciers which increase the water level of sea which ultimately lead to flood and erosion of costal level and because of that the creatures living around that place have to leave that place or to migrate somewhere else.

Except that it also leads to extreme weather events like frequent storms, droughts, heat weaves , wildfire and widening of desert.
What will be the solution?
Reducing green house gases:- The main cause behind global warming is emission of green house gases and it can be possible if we use renewable energy instead of bio fuels also by using equipments which are energy efficient.
Reforestation:- We can look towards reforestation by planting more trees to create new jungle or forests rather than only focusing to destroy it.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS):- It will be better option if we can store the polluted and green house gases from industries in a storage and use them for in a innovative way. Like some days back I seen in television that a person in Bengaluru invented a machine which collects carbon and turns it into Inc which can be used in writing. But to do this things in a large scale we need to do strong research.
Using E-Vehicles:- Now we are mostly using vehicles which are mostly depending on bio fuels and this vehicles also release green house gases by burning bio fuels for energy, so we need to use electric vehicles and if possible electronic vehicles depend renewable energy for example :- solar powered electronic car.
In conclusion I want to say that if human want from his heart he can stop this type of things easily but it needs a strong leadership as well who can bring strict rule and guide individuals in a large scale and I'm not seeing something like that. Some activists and government take some action but not taking it seriously till now. Neither focusing too much. Well there can be exception but as a majority human being is more focused to increasing the global warming rather than lowering it. But still we have time and if not done by now then it will be too late.
