Thesis: Global warming is a human induced phenomenon causing a dramatic rise in average global temperatures and posing a major threat to our planet and it’s ecosystems. Points of Evidence: The science is clear: Human activity is causing our climate to change. -When we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum‚ we cause the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere. Though natural amounts of CO2 have varied from 180 to 300

1) What is global warming? (History) Definition: Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. Common sense:Glaciers are melting‚ sea levels are rising‚ cloud forests are drying‚ and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It’s becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century’s warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases‚ their levels are higher now than

Unimaginable Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes

“Global Warming – Global Warming For Mankind” Global warming is the continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere‚ resulting from human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. The effects of global warming are that increasing global temperatures are causing a broad range of changes. Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean‚ in addition

Abstract Global warming is a direct result of human activities on this planet. Our species have inhabited this planet for thousands of years but only since the 1900’s have scientists been able to measure the changes that we have induced on earth. It is estimated that temperatures have risen globally by about 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit‚ which may seem minor‚ but have caused physical changes on the planet (and potentially dangerous ones in the future). The “greenhouse effect” is a term many politicians

Climate scientists tell us that global warming is a very serious matter and the world has to make firm decisions to try to slow the warming and eventually to reverse it. Some politicians agree‚ but many lack the political will to press for urgent changes. Many scientists believe it is already too late to stop a 2 degree Celsius rise in temperature. Already there have been changes. Extreme weather events are becoming more common. Heat waves have been happening. Famine is worsening in Africa

become a global village (Gebel‚ 2004). Living in this village provides people with many advantages such as economic development. However‚ it also creates many obstacles for human life‚ for example‚ pollution issues. Consequently‚ understanding the expression ‘Global Citizenship’ is essential for societies who inhabit this global village in general and for students inparticular. This essay will analyse definitions of global citizenship. There are three important aspects to become a good global citizen
