countries are forging new treaties and protocols to create a global paradigm shift in the way we handle climate change. After analyzing the different articles in the reading I noticed a reoccurring theme in most of the articles. With the recent shifts in the weather countries have been coming together more frequently to discuss the issue. This is a positive move forward‚ but it seems that all that comes of the gatherings on global warming is hard promises by countries to cut back on emissions to a

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

Carbon Emissions and Global Warming Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere every time we burn fossil fuels such as gas‚ coal or oil. In a natural carbon cycle‚ carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However‚ the rate in which we are burning fuels is way too fast for trees and plants to absorb and convert into breathable air. In addition to that‚ many rainforests have been lost because of the cutting down of trees‚ which doesn’t help in the already existing problem. The effect

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

PERSUASIVE SPEECH ON GLOBAL WARMING by: Jennifer Zelmer Introduction: We all know about global warming‚ but do we really care or try to do at least some of the things that will help stop it or at least slow it down? 1) Over the last century our planets temp. has risen 1 degree. I know that doesn’t sound like much but it’s been enough to melt a lot of the polar ice caps and glaciers. A) The hottest years ever recorded were in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. B) In 2007 there was

APES – Global Warming Evidence “Global Warming Is Rapidly Raising Sea Levels‚ Studies Warn” –National Geographic (March 2006) As we are well aware‚ the earth is undergoing changes each and every day. One change that has silently been increasing over the last half century is the melting of large ice sheets and glaciers‚ leading to a rise in sea levels that has never been seen before; by the end of the century the seas may be one meter higher than they are today. Many are pointing at global warning

Global warming is a myth and should not be feared. The theories behind global warming are filled with false claims and incorrect information. With all of the information it is hard to separate the truth from the lies. When the true facts are presented before you what is truth and what is fiction becomes clear. First‚ scientists have made claims on data that may be incorrect. Scientists claim some of their data from weather stations‚ but this data may be incorrect. “Temperature readings can vary

Global Warming - Fact or Fiction? - Speech The Earth is rapidly heating up or is it? If it is‚ the next few decades may witness Biblical scenes of rising temperatures‚ crop failures‚ flooding and the extinction of different species. On the other hand‚ increases of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere may well encourage plants and trees to thrive like never before. Whom can you believe? One thing is certain the debate on climate change and Global Warming is heating up. It is surely right for

Introduction Nowadays‚ Global warming is an incontrovertible fact‚ which proves that our planet and its climate are in trouble. Well global warming is a term that denotes a slow warming of the earth’s regular temperature. It was also named exclusively man-made effects‚ in particular carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has largely increased during the past forty years‚ and scientists concluded that the average earth temperature has increased solely based on man-made activities such

Global Warming affects Biodiversity There has always been a link between climate change and biodiversity. As the climate changes‚ the animals in the affected areas have to either adjust or leave. Although climate changes have been occurring throughout history‚ the rapid climate changes of today are resulting in species not being able to adapt quickly enough and undergoing species loss. Some species may adapt well to the climate changes such as an increase in bugs and pests‚ but others‚ such as Arctic
