during one of these changes expienced a warming trend. This occurred fifty-five million years ago. This rise in temperature is believed to have been caused by a natural gas -presumably methane‚ which was forced out of the sea floor and as it was passing through the earth it was heated and this caused the methane gas to become carbon dioxide that was released into the seas. This influx of carbon dioxide actually turned the ocean waters acidic and the earth’s surface temperature rose by 9 to 18 degrees

every problem‚ there is a solution. To summarize‚ climate change although it will have terrible effects can be averted. To start‚ climate change is the emission of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Greenhouses gasses‚ such as carbon dioxide and methane‚ are used for a variety of uses in human life. These uses include driving our own car to places or heating up our home. Also‚ electricity contributes to climate change. Emissions of the gasses trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere‚ which causes the

But if that happened without global warming people wouldn’t know what it was. A solution to global warming I might say that there is no single solution to global warming‚ which is primarily a problem of too much heat-trapping carbon dioxide methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. Humans can help avoid Global warming by burning fossil fuels such as natural gas‚ coal‚ oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse

release of certain types of gas into the atmosphere. The dominant man-made greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ which is emitted whenever we burn fossil fuels in homes‚ factories or power stations. But other greenhouse gases are also important. Methane (CH4)‚ for example‚ which is emitted mainly by agriculture and landfill sites‚ is 25 times more potent per kilogram than CO2. Even more potent but emitted in smaller quantities are nitrous oxide (N2O)‚ which is about 300 times more potent than carbon

fossil fuels‚ sprayed harmful chemicals‚ and torn down forests; this has all contributed to the global warming problem. The fuels burned to heat homes and businesses‚ run cars‚ and power factories are responsible for 98% of carbon dioxide‚ 24% of methane‚ and 18% of nitrous oxide. That shows how much of the greenhouse gases are completely unnecessary. Global warming has occurred because the atmosphere traps outgoing energy to heat the earth‚ but because people have pumped unnatural gases into the

it is well known that transportation is one of the leading causes of global warming pollution. A large amount of automobiles burn some type of fossil fuel usually gasoline or diesel. Automobiles release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane‚ out of the muffler. Small cars and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) supply an enormous amount of global warming pollution. SUVs are targeted more for being a major supplier of carbon dioxide. Mckibben states‚ “ If you switched today from the average
