PLAN Ways to Slow Down Ozone Depletion Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect‚ in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap solar radiation close to the planet’s surface instead of allowing it to dissipate into space. Both natural and human-made conditions can contribute to global warming‚ but human beings can do several things to reduce the effects. The biggest cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide released when fossil

Technical report on global warming WJR Alexander Professor Emeritus‚ Department of Civil and Biosystems Engineering‚ University of Pretoria‚ South Africa. Email alexwjr@iafrica.com 23 November 2005 I have just completed my technical report An assessment of the likely consequences of global warming on the climate of South Africa. (The extended summary of the report is now available. It consists of 92 pages‚ 14 tables‚ 16 figures and 50 references.) The conclusion is that there are no scientifically

Global Warming (A False Ideology) Global warming is defined by Google as “A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants”. The “greenhouse effect” is essential to life on Earth. If there were no greenhouse gases‚ the temperature of the air would be about 32°F or 18°C colder than it is now. The earth would pretty much be a frozen wasteland. We need greenhouse

The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we’ve already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out‚ the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts‚ forests‚ farms‚ and snowcapped mountains—hangs in the balance. Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚

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

WAYS TO REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING Global Warming refers to the gradual increase in the Earth’s temperature as a result of the growing concentration of human induced green house gases which are carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons and hydro fluorocarbon in our atmosphere. Global warming can be caused by the use of fossil fuels‚ and industrial or agricultural processes. Man-made emissions are adding to the amount of carbon dioxide already being naturally released. These

This chronic warming of our entire atmosphere is leading to catastrophic and disastrous events that prove to be the single most largest issue of our world in known and written history.

Around the 1900’s‚ unskilled work replaced and most killed manufactory jobs. Many of the workers found the jobs boring. They wanted more exciting things to do and make it worthwhile working there. Another thing is that‚ they wanted a bigger pay and when they wasn’t getting

Global warming is currently the most controversial issue.The debate over global warming has been going all around the world and it seems endless. Depending on one’s political view‚ whether a person is a liberal or a conservative may consider global warming as the biggest challenge facing humanity or one may dismiss‚ saying it is not real or may simply claims global warming is a hoax. However‚ there are strong‚ credible evidences that indicate the extreme and unpredictable weather pattern we have

is through degrading the soil or through CFC’s. Global Warming is real and its hurting our environment and it’s entirely our fault. It’s true that Global Warming happens naturally however because of the human race we have increased how fast it’s happening. There have been many meetings with other nations to control the amount of carbon-dioxide released. Along with the release of CFC’s that hurt our ozone. The Ozone deflects 99% of the UV rays which cause a variety of disease. We all know that it
