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

concentrations produced by human activity. While there are arguments in favour of natural cause of the global warming‚ I think on balance that the arguments against carry greater weight. A common skeptic argument is that climate has changed naturally in the past‚ long before SUVs and coal-fired power plants‚ and this somehow tells us that humans can’t be the main cause of the current global warming. Peer-reviewed research and simple logic show this is not the case. There are a number of different

The three main areas to be explored are the relationship between ‘Greenhouse’ effect and global warming‚ the consequences of global warming with evidence and the argument against addressing global warming. The final section will provide suggestions that would overcome the impact of global warming. ‘Greenhouse’ effect ‘Greenhouse’ effect plays an important role on encouraging the generation of global warming.

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

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.

It forces one to think that humans are the major cause of this hazard. It encourages one to believe the fact that there are ways in which we can reduce the effects of global warming. On the other

Introduction Nowadays‚ Global warming is an incontrovertible fact‚ which proves that our planet and its climate are in trouble. Well global warming is a term that denotes a slow warming of the earth’s regular temperature. It was also named exclusively man-made effects‚ in particular carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has largely increased during the past forty years‚ and scientists concluded that the average earth temperature has increased solely based on man-made activities such

This increase in global surface temperature is thought to have at least some effect on the frequency of extreme weather events due to climate changes (Folland et al. 2001)‚ and there is concern that these changes will have an enormous impact on various industries (Hitz and Smith 2004). Balancing environmental measures with economic development‚ that is‚ working toward sustainable development‚ is the fundamental goal of global environmental policies‚ including those for global warming (Hijioka‚ Masui
