Global warming You have probably heard about the phrase “global warming” hundreds of times. But what exactly does global warming means? Global warming is not about having a hot day or week or month in one part of the world. It has to do with the average temperature worldwide. Simply put‚ global warming is the unusual rapid increase in earth’s average temperature worldwide. The warming of the earth began in the mid 1800’s. In the beginning it was small and very slow but then in the 1980’s the

Since global warming appeared during the last decade as a serious environmental issue‚ it has been the subject of a lot of debate. Global warming is defined as the warming of the earth by greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. But there are many questions about global warming‚ from its causes to its effects. Many people even question whether or not global warming exists. And if global warming does exist‚ people question why it exists. Well‚ there are two different viewpoints. The believers

Global Warming Global warming is the increase of world’s average temperature‚ mainly in the sector of atmosphere‚ seas and the land on Earth. here are three serious factor‚ namely the crack on the lower part of atmosphere‚ pollution on Earth an so many green houses. The first factor is on the atmosphere. Recent years‚ many researches show that atmosphere has some kind of crack because of the heat from sun’s emission. The layer of atmosphere seems can not take the heat anymore. The crack gets larger

Global Warming Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations‚ we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using the technology‚ know-how‚ and practical solutions already at our disposal. Tropical deforestation is the largest source of emissions for many developing countries‚ but slowing deforestation can’t solve the climate problem by itself. As forest-rich developing countries

OF GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere‚ especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate. The term global warming is synonymous with Enhanced green house effect‚ implying an increase in the amount of green house gases in the earth’s atmosphere‚ leading to entrapment of more and more solar radiations‚ and thus increasing the overall temperature of the earth. (71 words) EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING

Global Warming Global warming is and has always been one of the most controversial topics to speak about. Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth ’s atmosphere‚ generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants. In the 21st century‚ global warming has become the most important environmental issue that require every Earth ’s citizen attention. Still‚ there are a lot of people do not believe this

Definition of global warming and natural disasters Global warming is when the earth heats up or the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. It makes the sea rise‚ and when the sea rises‚ the water covers many low land islands. This is a big problem

Global Warming: Origins‚ Effects‚ and Potential Solutions Since the dawn of the 19th century‚ civilization has been very dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases‚ especially carbon dioxide‚ coming from these emissions plague our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat and prevent warmer air from escaping our atmosphere‚ which causes a containment of excess heat‚ thus causing a climate change; in this case‚ a rise in temperature. There has been large amounts of debate on whom
