Introduction

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth 's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Some people do not believe that these are caused by human activities. They think it is all political and falsehood intended to cause panic among humans, some call it a hoax. (Dauncy & Patrick, 2001). But climate scientists looking at the data and facts agree the planet is warming. While many view the effects of global warming to be more substantial and more rapidly occurring than others do, the scientific consensus on climatic changes related to global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events. ( Ibrahim & Adnan, 2010)

The solution to stop global warming is to reduce reliance on cars, more efficient buildings, wind power, solar photovoltaic power, renewable hydrogen and others. (Google 2011). All the solution is to decrease the volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released. The way we deal with people who are skeptical about global warming is that we tell them that it doesn’t matter whether global warming, global cooling, or whatever you want to call it is happening, all that matters is that we should live more in harmony with our environment. The earth and nature are sacred and every little thing in them are just as important as another so why would we take the risk of doing anything that could possibly alter that sacred balance. (Yahoo, 2010)

Review of Literature Global warming has been a well recognized environmental issue around the world for the past ten years, even though scientists had identified it as a potential problem years before in 1896. (Jaclyn & Robert, 2003). If human don’t act fast of the global warming, then we will be in for a rude awakening. Variations in day-to-day weather are occurring all the time; they are very much part of our lives. The climate of a region is its average weather over a period which may be a few months, a season or a few years. Variations in climate are also very familiar to us. The temperature of the earth is getting higher and higher, but there are some people still not to believe that the climate change and global warming are getting serious. The assessment of the impacts of global warming is also made more complex because global warming is not the only human induced environmental problem. (Maslin, 2004). The loss of soil and its impoverishment (through poor agricultural practice), the over-extraction of groundwater and the damage due to acid rain are examples of environmental degradations on local or regional scales which are having a substantial impact now. (Houghton, 1997)

    In recent years, climate change has become a catastrophic issue that globally depletes resources at an unsustainable rate for survival. Rising temperatures associated with climate change are due to the greenhouse effect, in which humans play a huge role. The greenhouse effect is the trapping and buildup of heat in the Earth’s atmosphere due to carbon based human activities, such as transportation, electricity, and consumer habits(EPA, 2013). Global climate change includes substantial change to local and global temperatures, wind patterns, rainfall patterns, which last over extended periods of time (EPA, 2013). Current, unsustainable rates of human population growth contribute to the extra greenhouse gasses are added into the atmosphere.…

    The seriousness of global warming is evident. “In the 20th century, the world’s average surface temperature rose by… the fastest rate in any period over the last 1,000 years.” (Source A) In the ocean, the surface temperature increased nearly 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit from about 100 years ago. (Source B) It is not only people who are affected by global warming. Nowadays, “each spring, the robins are arriving in Wisconsin several days earlier than they did a decade ago” (Source F) These significant changes to the world has alarmed people and evoked efforts to stop global warming.…

    Global warming is the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere and oceans, mostly caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is where incoming short-wave solar radiation from the sun can pass through the earth’s atmosphere to reach the surface; some of this radiation is then reflected back into space at a longer wavelength. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb some of this long wave radiation and re-radiate it back to the earth’s surface, trapping heat in our atmosphere. There have always been natural fluctuations in the earth’s temperature, for the last 2.5 million years earth has shifted between cold glacial periods, and warmer interglacial periods. We are currently in an interglacial period, where the temperatures have been warm, with very small fluctuations for the last 10,000 years. Over the last century global temperatures have increased rapidly, there was a sharp rise in temperature between 1900 and 2000 of 0.7oC. Most scientists agree that this sharp increase was caused by human activities (anthropogenic). This continued increase in temperatures could have many major impacts worldwide, both positively and negatively.…

    The book addresses the issue of global warming, and illustrates how perspectives about the environment have changed throughout time. In the past, natural resources were regarded as materials to be exploited by humans for development. However, nowadays people realize that the supply of natural resources is limited and their reckless use jeopardizes the planet. As a result of this newfound understanding, people can now actively prevent the upcoming environmental crisis, which is essential for the survival of the Earth and humankind. The Weather Makers emphasizes how new ideas are the key to overcoming…
