Greenland: The Icy Giant at the Center of a Warming World Why Iceland is Greeny?           Far beyond the reach of most people’s daily thoughts lies Greenland, a vast and remote Arctic island that is quietly becoming one of the most geopolitically, environmentally, and economically important places on Earth. Though it’s part of the Kingdom of Denmark and home to fewer people than a small European microstate, Greenland’s immense landmass, strategic location, and untapped wealth have made it the subject of increasing global attention. A Vast and Frozen Land           Greenland is the largest island in the world, more than three times the size of France. With a population of only 56,000, it's one of the most sparsely populated places on Earth. Roughly one-third of the population resides in Nuuk, the capital, while the rest is spread across coastal settlements. Almost no one lives inland and for good reason: roughly 80% of the ...

What is Global warming?

            Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average temperature due to human activities, initially the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

            Greenhouse effect is due to global warming.  Greenhouse effect is defined as the progressive warming up of the earth surface due to high concentration of manmade carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  It is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions.

            The gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O), trap heat from the sun, leading to a gradual rise in temperatures worldwide.  While some level of greenhouse gases is necessary to maintain Earth’s temperature, excessive emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have intensified the greenhouse effect, resulting in global warming.

Causes of Global Warming:

        Generating power:

             75% of electricity is produced from fossil fuels only about 25% of electricity is produced from renewable sources such as wind energy, solar energy etc.  Burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas to produce heat and electricity can lead to global warming.

        Manufacturing products:

            Greenhouse gases is also released from mining and industries.  In Industries to produce cement, iron, steel, electronics, plastics, clothes and other goods fossil fuels are burnt which produces greenhouse gases leads to global warming.

Deforestation: 

            Forests absorb carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.  It limits nature’s ability and keep it balanced.  Cutting trees in the forest to create farms, house, apartments, malls, theatres and many more can imbalance the nature’s ability and release more carbon dioxide which leads to Global warming.
