Global warming on Earth is a topic that everyone knows and talks about but there aren’t any pertinent steps taken to combat this pressing issue. The talk is that we are way past the 11th-hour phase, there isn’t much time left for talks or research but only for action.

In December 2016, a global conference was held in Paris that discussed concrete measures for tackling carbon emissions in the atmosphere.  Paris Climate Deal was made which addressed issues like temperature rise, deforestation, and emission of greenhouse gasses in a five-year plan.

While it’s hard to gauge the severity of the adverse effects of global warming, these pictures from NASA give a shocking insight of how human beings have altered the world at an alarming rate.
