GLOBAL WARMING : WHAT LIES AHEAD GLOBAL WARMING Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. In recent usage‚ especially in the context of environment policy‚ it is more generally known as "global warming"‚ which occurs due to increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Most of the observed temperature increase has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases‚ which result

I. WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING? Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s average measured temperature overtime. This measured average temperature is derived from both the near-surface air as well as ocean waters. Scientists began measuring this temperature beginning in the mid-20th century and have continued to monitor fluctuations and deviations in measurements ever since. The average global temperature increased approximately 1.33°F over the past 100 years ending in 2005. This led the

THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING Introduction One of the most agent controversial topics that are discussed in the world is global warming. Global warming and its effects are real and various scientists unlock the past mysteries and analyze today’s activities‚ they issue warnings that the future generations will be in jeopardy. Overwhelming evidence that the world’s climate is changing due to various human activities exists. Since the industrial revolution‚ various human activities such as agriculture

Global Warming speech to inform/persuade I. Introduction: A. "Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. B. The average global air temperature near Earth’s surface has risen about 0.74 °Celsius (1.3 °Fahrenheit) in the last century C. Models of global warming referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures are likely

lGlobalwarming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. Since 1971‚ 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans. Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage‚ the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface. Since the early 20th century‚ the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980

What Is Global Warming ? Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation‚ which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. Earth’s climate is mostly influenced by the first 6 miles or so of the atmosphere which contains most of the matter making up the atmosphere. This is really a very thin layer if you think about it. In the book The End of Nature‚ author
