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

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 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

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. Peer-reviewed research and simple logic show this is not the case. There are a number of different

People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale.
