THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING Introduction One of the most agent controversial topics that are discussed in the world is global warming. Global warming and its effects are real and various scientists unlock the past mysteries and analyze today’s activities‚ they issue warnings that the future generations will be in jeopardy. Overwhelming evidence that the world’s climate is changing due to various human activities exists. Since the industrial revolution‚ various human activities such as agriculture

October 3‚ 2013 Period 8 Senior Science Global Warming Controversy Humans have known about global warming for many years now. But Al Gore did not discover global warming. Neither did Tim Flannery‚ Peter Garrett‚ Greenpeace or Malcolm Turnbull. However they did add their scientific two cents and made everyone more knowledgeable on what this topic is really about‚ and stressed the importance it has on the Earth. Scientific concern about global warming is not new. This is nothing surprising or

Climate change in the context of this paper refers to the changes that result from human activities‚ especially as these changes relate to the issue of global warming. If global warming is indeed happening‚ it is the greenhouse gas effect that is believed to be the most responsible. Today at the starting days of the 21st century‚ technology is the most pronouncing name all over the world. And this success of

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is the ‘talk of the town’ in this century‚ with its detrimental effects already being brought to limelight by the recurring events of massive floods‚ annihilating droughts and ravaging cyclones throughout the globe. The average global temperatures are higher than they have ever been during the past millennium‚ and the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have crossed all previous records. A scrutiny of the past records of 100 years indicates that India figures in the first

The biggest threat to life on earth comes from global warming. Rich industrialised countries in the West have been burning fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil and gas for about 150 years‚ pumping out vast quantities of carbon dioxide. This gas traps the heat from the sun and causes the Earth and the atmosphere to get warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect. So why global warming is a problem? Well‚ high level of these greenhouse gases in the atmophere causes climate changes‚ which also lead to

carbon. When these fuels are burned‚ they react with oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. Because of our heavy use of fossil fuels‚ the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing since the industrial revolution. The destruction of forests which use carbon dioxide also contributes to the increase in carbon dioxide. Most of the light energy from the sun is emitted in wavelengths shorter than 4‚000 nanometers (.000004 meters). The heat energy released from the earth‚ however‚ is released

why I am interested about this topic. Definition of Climate Change According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards‚ attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”. Our Earth is warming. Over the past century‚ Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11.5°F rising up predicted over the next hundred years. Small
