Lukas Zebrauskas 09/21/10 Chemistry & Environment Global Warming Outline Thesis: How is global warming and greenhouse gases affecting our environment? I. What is global warming? A.) Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. II. What is the

to live and breathe. Global deforestation is growing at an alarming rate -- every year‚ 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed. Anthropogenic factors that can affect forests include logging‚ urban sprawl‚ human-caused forest fires‚ acid rain‚ invasive species‚ and the practice of shifting cultivation. If forests disappear‚ the amount of Carbon Dioxide in air will increase‚ resulting in increase of temperature of earth. Furthermore‚ it would cause global warming as the Carbon Dioxide

the year 2007‚ the concept of ‘Sustainability’ was established in the mind of people and businesses in the world. In the year 2009‚ the UN Climate Change conference held in Copenhagen firmly developed the issue of potential threats of global warming in both the global political and business arenas. Since the industrial revolution in the late 18th century‚ new factories were built which means more deforestation‚ more use of electricity‚ more burning of fossil fuel and resulting in emission of more Carbondioxide

Global Warming: The Greatest Hoax Since Pope John VIII Some Americans may wonder why global warming has become so prevalent in the media in the past few years. Global warming is one of the most controversial issues to ever be discussed. The issue‚ which should be based completely on scientific evidence‚ is being used in the media as propaganda in order to falsely sway the public’s opinion about the issue. Positions on the issue taken by members of the Republican and Democratic Party are worlds

GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON ANTARCTICA The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem‚ by damaging the polar caps‚ and harming all of Antarctica ecosystem. Global warming started to occur around the late 19th century‚ and it continues to proceed to increase as time goes on. The main gases to blame for global warming are Carbon dioxide‚ Methane‚ and Nitrous Oxide. These gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere causing the temperature to rise‚ this process is also

Deforestation Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but large areas the size of Panama are lost each year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Reasons for Deforestation Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or people’s need to provide for their families

Natural Phenomenon The global warming subject has been a heated debate for the past few decades. Some scientists are saying this is a completely man made problem. There are two clear sides to this subject and both have evidence‚ but the evidence is stronger on that global warming is just Mother Nature at work. The government has poured hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars into research for manmade global warming. The theory is that humans are causing the “greenhouse effect” and putting too

all of the fear‚ all of the phony science‚ could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people?" He has claimed "some parts of the IPCC process resembled a Soviet-style trial‚ in which the facts are predetermined‚ and ideological purity trumps technical and scientific rigor." Inhofe has suggested that supporters of the Kyoto Protocol such as Jacques Chirac are aiming at global positions. A Washington Post article describing the views

The Future Effects of Global Warming Introduction After several years of scientific debate over the existence of global warming‚ most experts now agree that global warming exists and may have devastating effects on Earth’s climate. Global warming will influence and/or cause heat waves‚ polar ice caps melting‚ flooding‚ extinction‚ and droughts. Social‚ Historic and Intellectual Context of the Study The existing research literature suggests that global warming is going to greatly affect the
