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

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

Observations show that warming of the climate is clear. The global warming observed over the past 50 years is due primarily to human-induced emissions of heat-trapping gases. These emissions

why I am interested about this topic. Definition of Climate Change According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards‚ attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”. Our Earth is warming. Over the past century‚ Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11.5°F rising up predicted over the next hundred years. Small

Global Warming Recently‚ there have been many problems with hurricanes‚ heat waves‚ and floods. What could perchance be causing all of this? One of the main reasons there has been so many natural disasters and complications is global warming. Global warming is the rising average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect consumes greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere which causes the heating of the earth and very high temperatures and

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

sadly‚ they have become more serious throughout the years. Apparently‚ other than natural disaster it is evident that the major cause of pollution is the irresponsible act of human being. Global warming has become a hot topic nowadays and we must take up the responsibility to resolve this problem. Global warming can be defined as the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released by people burning fossil fuels”.

Argumentative Essay on Global Warming “Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s surface” (Global Warming) . It has the effect of making the Earth’s surface warmer compared as it was the previous years. Such warming effect is also referred to as the “greenhouse effect”. Accordingly‚ “the global average temperature has increased about 0.7 to 1.4 degrees F (0.4 to 0.8 degrees C) since the late 1800 ’s and many experts estimate that the average temperature will rise

Global Warming Global warming is the increase of world’s average temperature‚ mainly in the sector of atmosphere‚ seas and the land on Earth. here are three serious factor‚ namely the crack on the lower part of atmosphere‚ pollution on Earth an so many green houses. The first factor is on the atmosphere. Recent years‚ many researches show that atmosphere has some kind of crack because of the heat from sun’s emission. The layer of atmosphere seems can not take the heat anymore. The crack gets larger
