Global warming There are already many natural disasters‚ for example earthquakes in Mexico or floods in Pakistan‚ probably the first effects caused by global warming. But that is just the beginning; the number of natural disasters will increase in the future. In my speech I tell you something about global warming and what we can do to prevent it. At first I define the term “global warming”: It is the change of the climate caused by the people for example the destruction of the ozone layer and the

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: Origins‚ Effects‚ and Potential Solutions Since the dawn of the 19th century‚ civilization has been very dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases‚ especially carbon dioxide‚ coming from these emissions plague our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat and prevent warmer air from escaping our atmosphere‚ which causes a containment of excess heat‚ thus causing a climate change; in this case‚ a rise in temperature. There has been large amounts of debate on whom

Everybody these days seems to think they know all about global warming effects on humans. If you ask anyone on the street‚ they will likely say that emissions from vehicles and factories cause a greenhouse effect‚ which results in a warming of the earth’s atmosphere. Hence the term global warming. What most people may not realize is that it doesn’t take much of a rise in temperature to cause catastrophic changes in the environment. Scientists have estimated that the total amount of sea ice has

------------------------------------------------- Global warming 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 (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations

What is global warming‚ and how is it affecting the Earth and its inhabitants? Global Warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth ’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise‚ and creating many problems that will begin to occur in the coming decades. For the last 10‚000 years

CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming also causes sea surface temperatures to rise‚ precipitation patterns to change‚ etc.. (NASA‚ 2002) Global warming can have many different causes‚ but it is most commonly associated with human interference‚ specifically the release of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. (EPA‚ 2006) Global warming is caused by excessive quantities of greenhouse gases emitted into Earth’s near-surface atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are both man-made and occur naturally

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
