Global Warming The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency definition of global warming: “Global warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface and in the troposphere‚ which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes‚ both natural and human induced. In common usage‚ “global warming” often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human

Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. This essay will examine the reasons why global warming is occurring and discuss some possible solutions. The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into

Is Global Warming a Conspiracy? Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C‚ with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse
