Introduction
Many researchers, scientists, and environmentalists are expressing concerns about changes in the overall climate of the earth. Some believe that a dramatically warming is taking place in the overall global climate a problem that is referred to as global warming.

pg4

What is Global Warming and how is it formed?
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as co2 from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. Global warming is a problem of too much CO2 in the atmosphere which is like a blanket trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations. Carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere. Certain waste management and agricultural practices makes the problem worse by releasing other potent global warming gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide. pg5

Causes and Effects of global warming?
The effects of global warming are strongest at the poles. Ice all over the world is melting. This includes the ice on mountain glaciers, Arctic sea ice and ice sheets covering West Antarctica

    Global warming is result of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap radiation from sun and hold them from being released back into space. This causes rise in temperature at few places on earth. It is not much noticeable in western part of earth but in eastern parts like North Pole, Alaska and others slight increase in temperatures makes a huge difference. Scientists believe that if current situation continues many kinds of changes will take place which can be either beneficial or harmful for the living beings.…

    The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Growing up I heard this phrase in folktales as a “wolf cry”-- a cry that is so ridiculous that nobody would believe it. Now that global warming is a major environmental issue, the saying doesn’t sound so out of place. Most people might say: what is global warming? That’s the question that was running through my mind when I first heard we were watching a documentary on it in my English 130 class. The film is Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and it is about the causes of global warming and what it is doing to our planet. Being an environmentally involved citizen and growing up with conservative Republicans as parents, I was torn between not really liking Gore and this extreme reality that I felt was an impending doom on Mother Earth. The day before my writing class my dad called me and I brought up the fact that I was watching Gore’s film; his reaction was, “I’m paying for you to do that?” I tried to tell him it wasn’t about Gore and when I brought up global warming he claimed it was a scheme to get money and that our wor...…

    Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders because it is related many perspectives in our life like economics, climatology, sociology, political science, and agronomy. Understanding the relationship between these perspectives can help us understand more about global warming.…

    To ‘normal’ people it sounds like all these scientists and researchers are making a fuss about something so trivial. But is global warming really a trivial matter or, are the people unconscious about the danger of global warming. If you are conscious about it, you will see that the world is changing slowly due to global warming. Ice is melting worldwide, animals have moved to higher and cooler places, precipitation has increased and an increase of insects. But if global warming continues like this, it can become a disaster. There are possibilities that parts of the world will go under water, because the sea level rises. Floods and drought will occur more often, less fresh water will be available, due to the melting of the ice caps. Not only that, but animal species will be extinct, like the polar bear. Researcher Bill Fraser showed that the numbers of Adélie penguins on…

    The existing research literature suggests that global warming is going to greatly affect the Earth’s climate. Global warming is defined as an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary). Up until recently global warming was not considered real. Scientists were not in consensus with one another about the existence of global warming. The United States population has typically showed less interest in surveys about global warming than the rest of the world has. Global warming has become a more important topic since about 2000. Scientists, for the most part, now agree that global warming is real and is caused by the burning of fossil fuels by humans. Global warming will drastically change Earth’s climate in several ways. There will be severe heat waves all over the world. Polar ice caps will change drastically because of melting. Floods will become a more common occurrence as global warming worsens. Many different species will become extinct because they will not be able to adapt as the climate abruptly changes. Droughts will also become longer and more intense.…

    Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. It is already affecting the world as we know it; endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, hence increasing the average temperature of the earth. Scientists have stated that the average temperature will likely rise a further 1 to 6 °C still during the 21st century.…

    Global warming is the rise in average temperature in the earth’s atmosphere and has been occurring since the mid-19th century. It is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbon which collect in the atmosphere causing a blanket which lets heat in and keeps it in causing the temperature to rise. This can have catastrophic effects on some nature on earth, most notably in the Polar Regions. The melting of the ice caps is causing the loss of the polar bears habitat and is also causing sea levels to rise which could heavily impact low lying countries such as the Netherlands and Bangladesh. We can reduce global warming by reducing the amount of fossil fuels we burn.…

    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. It is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Human-induced warming of the climate is expected to continue throughout the 21st century and beyond.…

    There are many problems concerning the environment. Pollution, destruction of the rainforests, and the consumption of all of our planet's natural resources are just a few. None of these issues quite compare to the problem of global warming. Global warming is a problem that affects not just some people, but everything and everyone. People must take action to stop global warming and must realize the severity of this problem before it is too late. The future depends on what we do now to slow the process of global warming.…
