defined as the analysis of accumulated weather data for long term patterns and trends. The Oxford Reference Dictionary defines change as‚ "To make or become different." Climate change is therefore defined as "long-term weather patterns and trends becoming different over an extended period of time." 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

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

Is Global Warming a Conspiracy? 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‚ with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse

Introduction: Global warming is gradually becoming a serious concern to our environment and our planet as a whole. Nature is now showing signs with unique changes affecting our lives. When the surface temperature of the earth heats up human beings are not the only ones who feel the changes and also react in some way. Animals and sometimes even plants will also be affected by the global warming. What is global warming: An overall warming of the planet based on average temperature over the entire

Global Warming Throughout the years‚ many topics have been brought to attention and have caused many controversial discussions. Being one of them‚ Global Warming has been the number one controversial topic for decades. One main subtopic talked about has been the different types of “effects” Global Warming has caused on this Earth to go through. One effect is Greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases can stay in the atmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years

Global Warming Global warming is the most pressing challenge facing the world today. After examining what global warming is‚ I have realized that human activities have a large impact on how the earth’s surface temperature is due to the greenhouse effect. I also have realized the impact that global warming can have on the earth. We as human’s need to do what we can to lower our contributions to the global warming before it is too late. Global warming is the increase of earth’s average
