Global warming is the warming of earth’s land‚ water and atmosphere. Global warming has happened throughout history‚ but has recently become more of an issue. Every year since 2001 has made it on the warmest year record list. There is much debate whether this is a natural phenomenon or if the human population is causing global warming. There is no denying that the earth is getting warmer. As shown in the graph to the right global temperatures have risen from -.4 C to .6 C over a four year period

Global warming has a big effect on the Earth. It can spread diseases. Global warming‚ warms the water which causes erratic weather. It increases the probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves. Global warming can also lead to the melting of the polar ice caps. Finally it can have great economic consequences. Global warming can lead to a spread in diseases across the world. As northern countries warm‚ disease carrying insects migrate north‚ bringing plague and disease with them. With warmth

Global Warming: Causes and Effects The term “global warming” is often used synonymously with the term climate change‚ but the two terms have distinct meanings. Global Warming is a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature. Novdia explained that “global warming refers to the documented historical warming of the Earth’s surface‚ based upon worldwide temperature records that have been maintained by humans since the 1880s” (Global Warming). Global warming is a major crisis in the world today. Three

Global Warming and the Effect on the Environment SCI 207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: William Lees April 8‚ 2013 Global Warming is a serious issue today. The effect it has on this earth is a concern for scientist around the world. Global warming is rising the average temperature of the world. The temperature has risen about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit from the mid 1800’s to now. And scientists have forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next

Global Warming is an important ecological issue and has many negative effects upon our environment. However‚ for all the attention that this issue does not draw‚ that is how dire it is growing to be. There are many problems that are causing global warming‚ and if they are not corrected‚ or at least prevented from here on out‚ there are going to be some severe complications in the near future. Greenhouse holes in the ozone layer and the decay of the atmosphere are just a few of the problems that need

Cause and effect of global warming Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light‚ or heat‚ escapes the earth ’s atmosphere. Thus‚ the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earth ’s history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150‚000 years that suggest a direct association with carbon dioxide levels. In the past the temperature highs and lows have been in tandem with

What is Global Warming? Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter‚ disasters like hurricanes‚ droughts and floods are getting more frequent. Over the last 100 years‚ the average temperature of the air near the Earth´s surface has risen a little less than 1° Celsius (0.74 ± 0.18°C‚ or 1.3 ± 0.32° Fahrenheit). Does not seem all that much? It is responsible for the conspicuous increase in storms‚ floods and raging forest fires we

Global Warming Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go a whole winter without even seeing snow? Well the way the atmosphere is heating up today you just might experience this kind of event in the future I chose to do my cause and effect paper on global warming because I believe it has a major impact on humans‚ not only today‚ but especially in the future. In this paper I am going to explain the causes and the effects of global warming and how it will impact our lives in the long

The Future Effects of Global Warming Introduction After several years of scientific debate over the existence of global warming‚ most experts now agree that global warming exists and may have devastating effects on Earth’s climate. Global warming will influence and/or cause heat waves‚ polar ice caps melting‚ flooding‚ extinction‚ and droughts. Social‚ Historic and Intellectual Context of the Study The existing research literature suggests that global warming is going to greatly affect the
