Carbon Emissions and Global Warming Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere every time we burn fossil fuels such as gas‚ coal or oil. In a natural carbon cycle‚ carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However‚ the rate in which we are burning fuels is way too fast for trees and plants to absorb and convert into breathable air. In addition to that‚ many rainforests have been lost because of the cutting down of trees‚ which doesn’t help in the already existing problem. The effect

Global warming and how thunderstorms and floods effect agricultural growth. Thunderstorms and flooding effect how and what we eat everyday because of the cost. Once global warming is under control‚ the cost to create food will be reduced immensely. This is important because of poverty that has been created because many different nations are not able to feed their people. The authors describe how the absence of water effects the growth and how drought effects feeding people in that area and the

PERSUASIVE SPEECH ON GLOBAL WARMING by: Jennifer Zelmer Introduction: We all know about global warming‚ but do we really care or try to do at least some of the things that will help stop it or at least slow it down? 1) Over the last century our planets temp. has risen 1 degree. I know that doesn’t sound like much but it’s been enough to melt a lot of the polar ice caps and glaciers. A) The hottest years ever recorded were in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. B) In 2007 there was

APES – Global Warming Evidence “Global Warming Is Rapidly Raising Sea Levels‚ Studies Warn” –National Geographic (March 2006) As we are well aware‚ the earth is undergoing changes each and every day. One change that has silently been increasing over the last half century is the melting of large ice sheets and glaciers‚ leading to a rise in sea levels that has never been seen before; by the end of the century the seas may be one meter higher than they are today. Many are pointing at global warning

Global warming is a myth and should not be feared. The theories behind global warming are filled with false claims and incorrect information. With all of the information it is hard to separate the truth from the lies. When the true facts are presented before you what is truth and what is fiction becomes clear. First‚ scientists have made claims on data that may be incorrect. Scientists claim some of their data from weather stations‚ but this data may be incorrect. “Temperature readings can vary

Global Warming affects Biodiversity There has always been a link between climate change and biodiversity. As the climate changes‚ the animals in the affected areas have to either adjust or leave. Although climate changes have been occurring throughout history‚ the rapid climate changes of today are resulting in species not being able to adapt quickly enough and undergoing species loss. Some species may adapt well to the climate changes such as an increase in bugs and pests‚ but others‚ such as Arctic

And what can we do about it?In a nutshell‚ global warming‚ known as climate change‚ is the heating up of our world. It is the result of huge amounts of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere‚ via the burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil to produce power and electricity and thousands and thousands

10. Air pollution (global warming) Environmental Protection Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe‚ but nowadays it’s the only place where we can live. People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale. With the development of overcrowded industrial highly developed cities‚ which put huge amounts
