Abstract What is global warming? Global warming is the heating of the earth. Global warming happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the atmosphere. This is known as the greenhouse effect. It prevents heat and light from escaping the earth’s atmosphere kind of like the earth is a giant greenhouse. Global warming is a good thing‚ but at the same time‚ can have devastating effects if not properly monitored and

2011 Nightmare of Global Warming This paper attempts to make a critical analysis of the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. It is a documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim in 2006 regarding the former United States Vice President Al Gore’s campaign to convey the dangerous of climate change as well as the disastrous effects of global warming. Gore employs multimedia presentation in terms of data‚ charts‚ pictures‚ and graphic to illustrate the negative effects of global warming and its possible

What is the main cause of global warming? In the last century‚ the sea level has rose for about 17 centimetres. The rate in the last decade is however‚ nearly the double of last century. Major global surface reconstructions also showed that the Earth has warmed since 1880 and it’s still going on. Oceans are also warming up‚ due to the heat. Not only that‚ the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting‚ glaciers are disappearing and extreme weather events have occurred more often. All these

Global warming W hat is global warming? The changes in the surface air temperature‚ referred to as the global temperature‚ brought about by the enhanced greenhouse effect‚ which is induced by emissions of greenhouse gases into the air. How Global Warming Works Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fossil fuels (coal‚ oil‚ natural gas) Example of the Greenhouse Effect The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield. This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield

challenges earth is facing is Global Warming. The global warming hypothesis orginated in 1896 when Svante Arrhenius‚ a Swedish chemist‚ developed the theory that carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels would cause global temperatures to rise by trapping excess heat in the earth’s atmosphere. The term “Global Warming” signifies the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. The change in climatic conditions is one of the impacts of global warming. It is directly impacting on rising

Global Warming effects on the natural balance of environment. The world climate is going a significant change day by day. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries‚ the use of CFCs in packaging and manufacturing products‚ the use of detergents etc. cause Global Warming. Besides‚ overpopulation‚ deforestation are the causative factors of Global Warming. The setting up

GLOBAL WARMING Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. The main factors resulting in the warming of the earth is the emission of CO2. CO2 damages the ozone layer and comes from several sources. The most problematic comes from the burning of fossil fuels from electric power stations. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Another cause is the burning of gasoline for transportation. It continues to increase because

Global Warming Global warming ; a growing problem that affects people‚ animals and the environment all over the world. What is it and what can we do to stop it? What is global Warming? Many scientists are still arguing that the causes of global warming are natural and not humans fault. Their main statement is that in the past the earth’s temperature has declined and risen. This happened even before humans inhabited the earth. Some argue that the rotation speed and axis of the earth can
