worrying problem that is seriously affecting our planet lately; this problem is known as Global Warming. Global warming as its name states is a global phenomenon with a number of effects that is happening in the global level. (D’Silva 2007). Global warming is poses a great threat to our personal lives and also to our world. More and more problems that are happening around us are mainly because of global warming. Our earth is not the same place anymore compared to decades ago‚ it is now slowly dying

Global Warming: A Problem That Needs Immediate Attention &&&&&& PHI 103 &&&&&&& June 16‚ 2012 Global Warming: A Problem That Needs Immediate Attention With the rise in the Machine Age during the late 1800’s‚ early scientists believed that the byproducts released by these new machines would have adverse effects on the environment. The scientists began to study these effects and noticed that the earth’s global temperature was rising 1.4 degrees

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

geologists are global warming and the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. What does the greenhouse effect have to do with global warming? When humans release gases into the air‚ the greenhouse effect will alter the temperature of the earth. More gases in the atmosphere means the earth will start to get warmer‚ and the result is global warming. On the other hand‚ if there was no greenhouse effect‚ the earth would

Through the eyes of most scientists‚ global warming is seen as a very serious and severe threat. The actions taken by humans‚ such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad. By the middle of the twenty first century‚ there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history‚ and quite possibly since the

Global Warming Have you noticed that our summers have been extremely hot and our winters have been less extreme than in previous years? If so you are noticing what is referred to as global warming. What this refers to is an overall increase in the temperatures around the world. Due to human activities‚ such as pollution and the amount of gas we use‚ and through natural events‚ it had caused the average temperature across the world to rise substantially. In addition‚ the rise of use in gases

INTRODUCTION “Pollution has caused many kinds of effects to the environment that the different forms of pollutions are harder to be controlled and 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

GLOBAL WARMING One of the most strongly debated topics on our earth is the issue of climate change. Global warming and climate change is refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) I. Effect There are two effects of global warming which is the environmental and social changes

Global Warming Global warming is a huge environmental and economic challenge that we are facing in the 21st century. Global warming is also commonly referred to as the greenhouse effect. Global warming can affect entire ecosystems and climates‚ which in turn affect the way in which people live. We in our lifetimes will not be around to see the major outcome of global warming; however‚ it is still a major concern. It has come to be known that the major increase in temperature over the last century

Global warming You have probably heard about the phrase “global warming” hundreds of times. But what exactly does global warming means? Global warming is not about having a hot day or week or month in one part of the world. It has to do with the average temperature worldwide. Simply put‚ global warming is the unusual rapid increase in earth’s average temperature worldwide. The warming of the earth began in the mid 1800’s. In the beginning it was small and very slow but then in the 1980’s the
