Global warming is an increasing problem around the world. All people and some animals add to this problem in their daily lives. California is the twelfth largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world. California is the first state in the United States to set laws that will reduce the amounts of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere. (Plan to Cut) Many people are for this law‚ while many are against it. There are many thoughts as to why global warming is occurring. Some scientists

Lê Lan Lam – USTH BI3-044 Writing project 2: The role of CO2 in global warming Nowaday‚ climate change and global warming are very urgent problems of the world. There are many mixed opinions about the role of CO2 in those processes. Most of people – such as Rosanne Skirble write in “Scientists 95% Certain Climate Change Is Man-made”‚ or GPWayne with the article “Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming” – believe that CO2 is the main factor and human – who release majority of greenhouse

Global warming is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today. What are the causes of global warming and what measures can governments and individuals take to tackle the issue? You must answer these three things in order to fully answer the question: 1. What are the causes of global warming? 2. What can governments do about it? 3. What can individuals do about it? Example of composition: Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming

Global Warming: Is It A Serious Issue? A little girl is playing outside in a T-shirt and shorts. A slight red glow is starting to appear on her cheeks. As people are reading this statement‚ they are picturing a child during spring. In reality‚ it is only November 19th. The world’s temperatures are increasing yearly due to global warming. We need to take immediate action to slow this cause. Global warming is becoming a major issue in our environment in the last couple of years. Global warming

Cynthia Cutshaw Instructor Emily Smith English 1010-027 9 November‚ 2012 Global Warming: Human Activities Global warming is commonly believed as a downfall to our planet and life as many individuals know it on earth. Bill McKibben‚ author of “The Environmental Issue from Hell”‚ states‚ “ When global warming first emerged as a potential crisis in the late 1980’s‚ one academic analyst called it ‘the public problem from hell’”(Mckibben 746). However‚ this only seems a way to scare individuals

PERSUASIVE SPEECH ON GLOBAL WARMING by: Jennifer Zelmer Introduction: We all know about global warming‚ but do we really care or try to do at least some of the things that will help stop it or at least slow it down? 1) Over the last century our planets temp. has risen 1 degree. I know that doesn’t sound like much but it’s been enough to melt a lot of the polar ice caps and glaciers. A) The hottest years ever recorded were in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. B) In 2007 there was

Cause and effect of global warming Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light‚ or heat‚ escapes the earth ’s atmosphere. Thus‚ the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earth ’s history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150‚000 years that suggest a direct association with carbon dioxide levels. In the past the temperature highs and lows have been in tandem with

Global Warming Debate Today we are debating the important topic of global warming. As the affirmative team‚ we strongly believe that global warming is caused by the actions of humans. But this is not just a belief‚ this is a fact. Global warming‚ by definition‚ is 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 the trapping of the

Is Global Warming a threat to the Human Population? Global warming has been a lot in the media and most people have probably discussed it and feared it for an amount of years now. In the media‚ Global Warming has been presented as a catastrophic event that will change the world as we know it‚ and have disastrous and horrible effects on us‚ and that it might be our demise. At first‚ scientists believed Global Warming to be a result of too much human activity‚ but as they years have passed and

Billy Joel once said‚ “we didn’t start the fire”. He is right; global warming is a natural cause. The Earth was heating long before humans were emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases and even before humans were on planet Earth. Since humans were not alive during the period after the ice age (known as the post-ice age era)‚ then the heating of the Earth to melt the ice does not put humans at fault. Global warming is naturally caused by natural emission of greenhouse gases‚ Earth’s heating and
