Global warming means a gradual increase in the Earth’s average lower atmosphere due to emissions and build up of greenhouse gases . Global warming is when the earth heats up and the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Greenhouse gases are released mostly by the burning of fossil fuels for transportation‚ heating‚ electrical

Throughout the world the issue of global warming has become an increasingly important issue. Global warming has been an issue that has been heatedly debated for many years. Scientists all over the world have been debating weather global warming actually exists. If it exists some scientists believe it is natural. While others believe it is caused by humans. Global warming is defined as an average increase in temperature in the atmosphere near the earths surface and in the troposphere. Which can

January 14‚ 2013 Gases such as carbon dioxide‚ methane and nitrous oxide are sometimes called Greenhouse gases‚ are increasing into our atmosphere causing climate changes. Scientists call this climate change – Global Warming. Sea levels are rising‚ glaciers are melting‚ and storms are raging fiercer than ever before such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As the Earth spins each day‚ the new heat swirls with it‚ picking up moisture over the oceans‚ rising here‚ settling

Global Warming One of the most challenging existing environmental problems is global warming. This refers to the change in climate that leads to an increase in the average atmosphere temperatures. Global warming is caused by a number of factors‚ but it is primarily associated with human action and more especially the excessive release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. An example of these human activities leading to increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere include burning

Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect. What is greenhouse effect? It is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries etc cause GLOBAL WARMING. The effects of Global Warming is very dangerous for

Global warming is the increase of Earth’s surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The main causes of global warming is the greenhouse effect‚ fossil fuels in cars‚ and global emission. Global warming is having an effect on our environment such as rising seas‚ changes in rainfall patterns‚ and etc. What we can do to stop this is‚ lower down emissions‚ cut greenhouse gases and so on. This paper will focus on what global warming is doing to our environment. The greenhouse effect

THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING Introduction One of the most agent controversial topics that are discussed in the world is global warming. Global warming and its effects are real and various scientists unlock the past mysteries and analyze today’s activities‚ they issue warnings that the future generations will be in jeopardy. Overwhelming evidence that the world’s climate is changing due to various human activities exists. Since the industrial revolution‚ various human activities such as agriculture

lGlobalwarming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. Since 1971‚ 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans. Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage‚ the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface. Since the early 20th century‚ the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980
