Effects of global warming Global warming can bring many long-lasting and devastating consequences to Earth and all its occupants. It is a well-known fact that global warming is real and is caused by human activity‚ primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO₂)‚ methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. One of the most noticeable effect of global warming is ice around the Earth is melting‚ especially at the Earth’s poles. These ice includes ice sheets covering

Global warming is the warming of earth’s land‚ water and atmosphere. Global warming has happened throughout history‚ but has recently become more of an issue. Every year since 2001 has made it on the warmest year record list. There is much debate whether this is a natural phenomenon or if the human population is causing global warming. There is no denying that the earth is getting warmer. As shown in the graph to the right global temperatures have risen from -.4 C to .6 C over a four year period

The theory of global warming is nothing new. The Nobel Prize-winning chemist Svante Arrhenius first proposed the idea of global warming in 1896. Carbon dioxide‚ he knew‚ traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. He also knew that burning coal and oil releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Arrhenius speculated that continued burning of coal and oil would increase concentrations of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere‚ making the planet warmer. It’s called thegreenhouse effect. What warms the Earth? To determine what

Efrain: Presenter + Alan: Interviewee - Interview of 5’ in total. Presentation Well‚ today at "Earth is our home" we are going to talk about the trending topic of the week "Global warming". + (Efrain) In my opinion the global warming isn’t as bad as most of people believe. Maybe if more people think objectively‚ they will find that the melting of the polar ice caps have a good function because frozen regions of the earth may experience more plant growth. Also it could bring longer growing

Global warming is more danger than any other disasters‚ and it can destroy our world in the future. Global warming is not just happen in certain parts of the Earth‚ but it happens to all over the world. For example‚ the warming of the global vapors the water up in the air‚ and then there will be more rains. Moreover‚ the warming makes the ice melts. When the ice melts‚ the ocean will rise. If the ocean rises higher‚ then the lands will be flooded with water (Meadows‚ 2002). In fact‚ since 1990‚

Although the author gives several supporting claims and examples to argue for his opinion‚ which is global warming is a good thing‚ I still cannot agree with his point of view‚ because some of the claims do not seem to be valid and need to be clarified further. First all‚ the writer states that coolings seem to be rapid‚ and cause disastrous downfalls of civilization‚ but we can cope with slow upward trends in temperature. It is true that too cold climate can provoke downfalls of civilization‚ but

Man made global warming does not exist. Evidence suggests that carbon levels are not abnormally high and that the ice caps are not melting away. There are many reputable scientists who question this theory we call global warming. Others would say it is a way for the government to control more and more of our daily lives and to move along an agenda that benefits certain groups and individuals. Man made global warming is a theory being preached to us as gospel and being taught as fact already proven
