Alaska; just last year hundreds of fires had burned over 5 million acres of the state’s land. It doesn’t necessarily get a lot of news attention because it’s a problem far away from civilization‚ but the smoke travels far and it plays a part in the global warming issue because of the amount of carbon it pumps into the atmosphere. Glaciers are melting at a rapid pace. From 1950-2010 over eight percent of Alaska’s glaciers have melted (Zielinski‚ 2015 ) and it is flowing into the ocean so not only is Alaska

Global warming is without a doubt one of the hot topics for academic essays‚ particularly in the fields of environmental science and climatology. Global warming is the gradual‚ upward trend of global average temperatures which‚ as noted in the 1950s by scientists‚ appears to be closely related to the dramatic increase in carbon dioxide and methane emissions since the beginning of the American industrial revolution. The number of potential topics related to global warming seems almost endless

Global Warming: Isit to late to save our Earth? Global warming is a major cause of concern for today’s world. The effects of global warming are so dangerous that this issue has to be addressed immediately and the risks have to be minimized‚ even if they cannot be avoided totally. Global warming can be addressed as the increase in the temperature of the near surface atmosphere and the oceans. This will lead to large amounts of land vanishing into the ocean and the disappearance of many vegetation
