Realize it or not‚ we are now facing a serious crisis on our nature; the crisis of global warming. Global warming itself is a term used to describe the change of the temperature of the earth that can finally change the climate on earth. We have known it for a long time that our earth is becoming hotter year by year. There are a lot of things that can cause global warming. Air pollution is one of the causes that can increase the effect of global warming. Air pollution is caused by certain gases which pollute

Thesis: Global warming is a human induced phenomenon causing a dramatic rise in average global temperatures and posing a major threat to our planet and it’s ecosystems. Points of Evidence: The science is clear: Human activity is causing our climate to change. -When we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum‚ we cause the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere. Though natural amounts of CO2 have varied from 180 to 300

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 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency definition of global warming: “Global warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface and in the troposphere‚ which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes‚ both natural and human induced. In common usage‚ “global warming” often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human

Global warming has become the big issue for environmental reasons. Corporations and individuals around the world are discussing the dangers of global warming. They are trying to find out ways to fix this problem and come up with a good solution. Global warming has become the most difficult problem that is facing

GLOBAL WARMING What Is Global Warming? Global warming is the warming of the earth through carbon dioxide (CO2) being pumped into the atmosphere from tailpipes and smokestacks. Then the gases trap heat like the glass in a greenhouse. This is where the term the “greenhouse effect” came from. What’s Happening Scientists say that the barrier insulating the continental ice caps is melting. “The impacts of warming temperatures in Antarctica

Controversy over Global Warming One of the largest argued topics in our world today is over global warming. People argue that is real‚ and others argue that it is fake. The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem we live in by damaging glaciers and weather patterns. Humans contribute to global warming yet non-believers will think otherwise. Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) most
