GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is one of the most challenging environmental problems today. It comes longer and more intense heat waves. National borders have no meaning for the atmosphere. The damage of the atmosphere makes harmful elements enter and travel around the world. And now‚ people are worried about the global effects of air pollution. Research shows that the earth’s atmosphere is changing in ways that could be destructive to our life. Pollution could be a major cause of this. One of

Abstract Global warming is a direct result of human activities on this planet. Our species have inhabited this planet for thousands of years but only since the 1900’s have scientists been able to measure the changes that we have induced on earth. It is estimated that temperatures have risen globally by about 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit‚ which may seem minor‚ but have caused physical changes on the planet (and potentially dangerous ones in the future). The “greenhouse effect” is a term many politicians

Global Warming Global Warming is described as the progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the alterations to the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. This whole process occurs naturally and has kept the Earth’s temperature about 59 degrees

Global warming is a myth and should not be feared. The theories behind global warming are filled with false claims and incorrect information. With all of the information it is hard to separate the truth from the lies. When the true facts are presented before you what is truth and what is fiction becomes clear. First‚ scientists have made claims on data that may be incorrect. Scientists claim some of their data from weather stations‚ but this data may be incorrect. “Temperature readings can vary

A hot button issue in current society is Global Warming. According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary global warming is “the recent increase in the world ’s temperature that is believed to be caused by the increase of certain gases in the atmosphere” (Merriam). Global warming as it stands is a scientific fact‚ as opposed to a theory. The legitimacy of Earth’s rising temperature isn’t where all the heated debates lie though. The debate is centered around whether or not humans are the cause of

come can we not do anything about it or at least try it? We’re all aware of the seriousness of this problem: CO2 emissions and other substances such as Nitrogen oxide‚ Hydrocarbons or Carbon Monoxide‚ are destroying our ozone layer and causing global warming to arise. In consequence‚ the greenhouse effect makes the world’s temperature to reach higher levels and lead to enormous disasters such as North Pole melting‚ Pollution... All right then‚ I know that each one of you here is perfectly aware of

Global Warming is an issue that the World has been dealing with for many decades. I really did not understand about Global Warming until I enrolled in a Meteorology class at American Public University‚ and it was then that I was introduced to the issue of Global Warming‚ and the damage that is happening to our World. Global Warming refers to the gradual warming of global average temperatures due to the slow increase concentrations of greenhouses gases‚ primarily carbon dioxide. Burning of fossil

is a problem that is affecting americans right now. Whether it means increased flooding‚ greater vulnerability to droughts‚ more severe wildfires--all these things are having an impact on americans as we speak.” - U.S. President Barack Obama. Global warming is an issue filled to the brim with side effects‚ spilling all over the world right now. When people talk about it‚ they seem to take it a lot lighter than it is truly. It is causing more extreme weather‚ including droughts‚ hurricanes‚ floods

I believe that global warming is partly natural process‚ but our industrial activities have majorly influenced the climate changes. These changes are causing extinction in some animals like the polar bears and the melting of the Arctic that causes sea levels to rise. Global warming would also cause extreme weather like hurricane Katrina and more frequent
