Global Warming is an issue that the World has been dealing with for many decades. I really did not understand about Global Warming until I enrolled in a Meteorology class at American Public University‚ and it was then that I was introduced to the issue of Global Warming‚ and the damage that is happening to our World. Global Warming refers to the gradual warming of global average temperatures due to the slow increase concentrations of greenhouses gases‚ primarily carbon dioxide. Burning of fossil

Global Warming: An exponential threat We currently live in a highly globalized world from every point of view (technological‚ scientific‚ cultural‚ economic‚ communicative‚ etc.) hence‚ one of the most negative effects that generated globalization has been the growing ecological imbalance that has harmed the planet. The global warming has become of the most dangerous threats and challenges to face in the 21st century. Many companies and factories are currently one of the main factors which

been caused by growth in the atmosphere greenhouse gas 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.

Global warming and how thunderstorms and floods effect agricultural growth. Thunderstorms and flooding effect how and what we eat everyday because of the cost. Once global warming is under control‚ the cost to create food will be reduced immensely. This is important because of poverty that has been created because many different nations are not able to feed their people. The authors describe how the absence of water effects the growth and how drought effects feeding people in that area and the

The increases in the surface temperature and carbon dioxide have been faster in recent decades. In the 20th century‚ the earth’s average temperature rose about 0.6° Celsius. (Timeforchange.org‚ 2015) The causes of this problem are many‚ the

1. Define "global warming." Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and the ocean due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming. Include a list of some of the gases that are believed to contribute to global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ mainly from industries has increased significantly. The atmospheric concentration of this gas and its

the phenomenon of global warming can not be ignored anymore. Looking back in history‚ this phenomenon not only appeared in recent years‚ in the past‚ the losses global warming brought to us were innumerable‚ and we can not possibly think what will happen in future. The direct losing in economic was by natural disaster which caused by global warming‚ and the indirect losing was impossible to measure yet. Now global warming is getting more and more serious: the greenhouse effect causes the large

Therefore‚ pollution of the natural environment is the main issue. Today‚ increasing population growth causes the natural environment to change greatly. This paper focuses on the negative influence of population growth on the environment in these areas: air pollution‚ water pollution‚ global warming and ozone depletion. Air pollution
