APES – Global Warming Evidence “Global Warming Is Rapidly Raising Sea Levels‚ Studies Warn” –National Geographic (March 2006) As we are well aware‚ the earth is undergoing changes each and every day. One change that has silently been increasing over the last half century is the melting of large ice sheets and glaciers‚ leading to a rise in sea levels that has never been seen before; by the end of the century the seas may be one meter higher than they are today. Many are pointing at global warning

Global Warming affects Biodiversity There has always been a link between climate change and biodiversity. As the climate changes‚ the animals in the affected areas have to either adjust or leave. Although climate changes have been occurring throughout history‚ the rapid climate changes of today are resulting in species not being able to adapt quickly enough and undergoing species loss. Some species may adapt well to the climate changes such as an increase in bugs and pests‚ but others‚ such as Arctic

through pollution‚ greenhouse effect. Obviously‚ our growing population not only means that people use more resources‚ people also produce more pollution. Therefore‚ pollution of the natural environment is the main issue. Today‚ increasing population growth causes the natural environment to change greatly. This paper focuses on the negative influence of population growth on the environment in these areas: air pollution‚ water pollution‚ global warming and ozone depletion. Air pollution is an important

Glaciers are melting. The sea is rising. The highest CO2 levels in 650‚000 years. The outlook is bleak. Climate Change‚ the most worrying environmental threat of our time is starting to unfold. Predictions of fiercer droughts‚ more severe cyclones‚ and more frequent floods invade our media and perhaps our consciousness. The future will see polar icecaps melt due to the increasing temperatures. The warmer waters may cause the death of the Great Barrier Reef‚ placing thousands of species of plants

taught in our primary school‚ “Global Warming refers to the increase the temperature of the earth due to the absorption of infrared rays of sun by the greenhouse gases — Carbon dioxide being the major one.” After watching the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”‚ I began to realize what we humans have been doing to our home planet. It forces one to think that humans are the major cause of this hazard. It encourages one to believe the fact that there are ways in which we can reduce the effects of global warming

Informative Synthesis on Global Warming 2007 Abstract Global warming’s a severe concern that is plaguing our environments and communities. Global warming occurred when the rise in the average temperature of both the Earths atmosphere along with the oceans. Since early 20th century the Earth’s temperature has continued to raise giving merit to the beliefs that global warming warrens concern. Jiansong (2011) believed tropical storms became worse over the years and global warming has become such an
