different from weather? Weather can change from hour-to-hour‚ day-to-day‚ and season-to-season. It may rain for an hour and then become sunny and clear. It includes wind‚ temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ cloudiness‚ sunshine and precipitation. Climate is the average weather for a particular region over a long time period. Climate describes the total of all weather occurring over a long period of years in a given place. This includes average weather conditions‚ regular weather seasons (winter

Is “extreme weather” caused by manmade global warming? Global warming is one of the most significant issues in today’s society for the reason global warming is making worse such as super storms‚ droughts‚ heat waves‚ etc. In this case‚ global warming has made more tenuous‚ for example tornadoes. However‚ people in today society consider that extreme weather caused by manmade. Manmade to the global warming is a major influence on extreme weather. In brief‚ as mentioned above one can see that people

Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation Your Name Professor Name SCI 110 - Introduction to Physical Science June 12‚ 2013 Global warming‚ also referred to as climate change‚ is real. The question remains‚ is man or Mother Nature responsible for causing it? The Nobel Prize-winning chemist Svante Arrhenius first proposed the idea of global warming in 1896. He knew that carbon dioxide traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere and that burning fossil fuels releases

Two issues that worry many geologists are global warming and the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. What does the greenhouse effect have to do with global warming? When humans release gases into the air‚ the greenhouse effect will alter the temperature of the earth. More gases in the atmosphere means the earth will start to get warmer‚ and the result is global warming. On the other hand‚ if there was no greenhouse

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction American Intercontinental University January 13‚ 2013 Unit 1 Individual Project Abstract In this paper I will be discussing the advantages on why we should support the protection of Global Warming. Now yes there are disadvantages as well. But the only ones that are suffering are the big industrial companies and commercial auto transport makers. If you step back and look at the big picture it really will out weight all outs.

Meaning of Global Warning 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. Climate change is any substantial change in Earth’s climate that lasts for an extended period of time. Global warming refers to climate change that causes an increase in the average temperature of the lower atmosphere. Global warming can have many different causes‚ but it is most

The biggest threat to life on earth comes from global warming. Rich industrialised countries in the West have been burning fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil and gas for about 150 years‚ pumping out vast quantities of carbon dioxide. This gas traps the heat from the sun and causes the Earth and the atmosphere to get warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect. So why global warming is a problem? Well‚ high level of these greenhouse gases in the atmophere causes climate changes‚ which also lead to

Introduction: Global warming is gradually becoming a serious concern to our environment and our planet as a whole. Nature is now showing signs with unique changes affecting our lives. When the surface temperature of the earth heats up human beings are not the only ones who feel the changes and also react in some way. Animals and sometimes even plants will also be affected by the global warming. What is global warming: An overall warming of the planet based on average temperature over the entire

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
