Global Warming Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations‚ we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using the technology‚ know-how‚ and practical solutions already at our disposal. Tropical deforestation is the largest source of emissions for many developing countries‚ but slowing deforestation can’t solve the climate problem by itself. As forest-rich developing countries

Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes throughout

Global warming Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth ’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century‚ and its projected continuation. The average global air temperature near the Earth ’s surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very

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

GLOBAL WARMING One of the most strongly debated topics on our earth is the issue of climate change. Global warming and climate change is refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) I. Effect There are two effects of global warming which is the environmental and social changes

Global warming and climate change threatens the very existence of mankind; understanding the affects of each and implementing measures to save this planet are of dire urgency. Global warming has become a threat to everything and everyone on Earth. Global warming is caused by many natural and manmade processes that continue to affect our environment. The release of carbon dioxide and methane gases are the two main contributors to climate change. With the warming of the environment almost inevitable

causing these extreme changes; global warming. Global warming is the rising in temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ and the idea that it will continue to rise. It is mainly caused by high amounts of greenhouse gas that are said to be produced by human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gas traps heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere which in turn increases temperatures. Global warming and its effects are creating growing dangers for our environment and all

Global Warming Global warming means a gradual increase in the Earth’s average lower atmosphere due to emissions and build up of greenhouse gases . Global warming is when the earth heats up and the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Most greenhouse gases are released by the burning of fossil fuels for heating‚ cooking‚ electrical

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes‚ "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas
