Abstract

We burn fossil fuels such as gas, coal or oil, through which carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. In a natural carbon cycle, carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However, we are burning fuels where the carbon dioxide has been trapped under the earth's surface for millions of years, and we're doing it so quickly that plants and trees that are alive now have no chance of soaking it up resulting adverse impacts on the atmosphere. The effect of all this extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is that the overall temperature of the planet is increasing (global warming). Whilst the average global temperature is increasing, on a day-to-day level the climate is changing in unpredictable ways (from floods and hurricanes to heat waves and droughts). To try and reduce the risk of ever more extreme weather, we need to reduce how much fossil fuel we are burning. In this paper I have discussed about global scenario of carbon emissions, different trends in top six largest emitting countries, other developing countries, comparison of carbon emissions in different countries, effects of carbon emission on snow melting, etc. and how the effects of carbon emission can be reduced.
