Global Warming [Client’s Name Appears Here] [Client’s College/University Appears Here] Date Global warming is a threat to earth and mankind. Global warming refers to the increase in the temperature of earth’s atmosphere. The increase in global temperature has been occurring in the past several years. According to Nardo et al.‚ author of Climate Crisis: The Science of Global Warming‚ “scientists noted that of the 21 hottest years recorded‚ 20 of which occurred
Free Fossil fuel Carbon dioxide Global warming
The biggest threat to life on earth comes from global warming. Rich industrialised countries in the West have been burning fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil and gas for about 150 years‚ pumping out vast quantities of carbon dioxide. This gas traps the heat from the sun and causes the Earth and the atmosphere to get warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect. So why global warming is a problem? Well‚ high level of these greenhouse gases in the atmophere causes climate changes‚ which also lead to

WORLD Global Warming The Hottest Debate of the Decade Kristen Flint ‘14 G lobal warming has been a point of contention in our society for years‚ and the extreme views from both sides of the argument have transformed the subject of global warming from a factual theory into a mythical idea. At one extreme‚ those who consider themselves “green” bemoan the tragedy that man is causing our planet’s climate to heat up while the other side of the debate refuses to believe any part of the global warming

Global Warming One of the most challenging existing environmental problems is global warming. This refers to the change in climate that leads to an increase in the average atmosphere temperatures. Global warming is caused by a number of factors‚ but it is primarily associated with human action and more especially the excessive release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. An example of these human activities leading to increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere include burning

Global Warming Many researchers‚ scientists‚ and environmentalists are expressing concerns about changes in the overall climate of the earth. Some believe that a dramatically dangerous warming is taking place in the overall global climate‚ a problem that is referred to as "global warming". According to Benson (2012)‚ Global Warming is a term used to refer to an increase in Earth’s average surface temperature. It is due mostly to the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the
Premium Greenhouse gas Global warming Carbon dioxide
Global warming is the increase of Earth’s surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The main causes of global warming is the greenhouse effect‚ fossil fuels in cars‚ and global emission. Global warming is having an effect on our environment such as rising seas‚ changes in rainfall patterns‚ and etc. What we can do to stop this is‚ lower down emissions‚ cut greenhouse gases and so on. This paper will focus on what global warming is doing to our environment. The greenhouse effect

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

Evidence:There is a lot of evidence pointing to the futures problems with global warming. First is the rise in temperature we have already had in the last ten years alone the average global temperature has risen more than one degree F. Based on estimates last year(2006) by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies‚ 2005 was the warmest year since reliable‚ widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 1800s. About three-quarters of the anthropogenic (man-made) emissions of CO2

Global Warming Global warming is the rise in temperature (warming) of the entire planet and oceans. The rising temperatures affect our climates in such that droughts will happen more often‚ deserts will become bigger‚ heat waves will happen more often‚ and snow will lessen in areas. Also storms and hurricanes will happen more often. Global warming happens very slowly‚ the environment goes through natural periods of cooling and warming. Global warming causes changes in the

With infrastructural development progressing at a rapid rate‚ some harmful chemicals that are produced from science and technological equipment are disposed in the environment. Due to the subsequent increase in the amount of these chemicals in the atmosphere‚ the Ozone layer that prevents harmful particles from entering into the earth atmosphere gets
