Analysis of The Great Global Warming Swindle The Great Global Warming Swindle (GGWS) is a controversial documentary on climate change by British television producer Martin Durkin1. It first aired on the BBCs channel 4 on March 8‚ 20072. This documentary argues against conventional scientific understanding of the degree and cause of recent‚ observed climate change. The overwhelming view amongst climate scientists is that twentieth century global warming is largely due to an increase in atmospheric

Global Warming is caused by human pollution; Nowadays our environment becomes different from the past‚ now the world is becoming dangerously warmer due to the human pollution of greenhouse gasses‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and deforestation‚ which it traps heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. “These are the Top 10 Global Warming Effects and Causes: (1) Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants; our over increasing addiction to electricity from coal

15 Dec 2011 Global Warming/Climate Change Before we get into the specifics‚ lets define the terms global warming and climate change. Global warming or the greenhouse effect is a more specific term that refers to a gradual increase in planet-wide temperatures which is now well documented and accepted by scientists as fact. It is the warming of the lower atmosphere which is a result of the increase of a number of gases that have been classified as greenhouse gases. It is a specific type of climate

Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect. What is greenhouse effect? It is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. There are many causes of Global Warming.
