Global Warming is an Ethical Issue By Alan AtKisson "Ethics" is a word that does not usually get the blood flowing. It calls up images of Aristotle‚ schoolteachers‚ hearings where political leaders weakly defend their honor after having done something foolish that everyone else understands to be wrong. "Ethical issues‚" as a phrase‚ is even worse. Ethical issues are often precisely the ones we prefer to avoid‚ because they force us to confront the sometimes muddy difference between doing right

The Real Cause of Global Warming There are many scientists who say that humans are the cause of global warming. With all the talk about green house gases going up and the amount of emissions that humans are putting into the atmosphere‚ not very many people talk about the other side of the story. By proving that humans are not the Cause of Global warming people will better understand what really is causing global warming. There are three very important points that one needs to look at when discussing

Literally global warming means the change in the temperature of the world and the main cause of it is because of Greenhouse gasses. I t happens by the emission of Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels‚ coal‚ oil because of which carbon dioxide is reacting as a blanket to earth and keep the earth warm and some other reason is Deforestation etc. The weather

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Globalization is the process of extending social relations across world space. Such extension results in simultaneous development in technology and trade. Some of them cause harm to the atmosphere and invites global warming. The increase in the earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of green house gases such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels etc leads to global warming. As

Global Warming and Acid Rain INTRODUCTION The phrase Global Warming has become familiar to many people as one of the important environmental issues of our day. Many views have been expressed concerning it‚ from the doom-laden to the dismissive. There is little debate that the earth is undoubtedly warming. It has been the subject of intense debate for decades now. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and industrial gases from fossil fuels play a huge role in why our environment is changing

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

in many ways. While it generated an era of prosperity‚ it also brought many problems to our society‚ many of which we are just discovering today. The most important problem started by the industrial revolution is a significant increase in Carbon Dioxide emission‚ which leads to global warming. Globe warming brings about various natural disasters. The most significant disaster is the rising of sea level. Global warming increases the melting of the polar ice caps‚ which brings about a rise in sea

Are Humans Responsible for Global Warming? A REVIEW OF THE FACTS APRIL 2007 AUTHORS James Wang‚ Ph.D. Bill Chameides‚ Ph.D. Are Humans Responsible for Global Warming? The case for attributing the recent global warming to human activities rests on the following undisputed scientific facts: • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere. • Since pre-industrial times‚ atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased from about 280 parts per million (ppm) to over 380 ppm.

The increases in the surface temperature and carbon dioxide have been faster in recent decades. In the 20th century‚ the earth’s average temperature rose about 0.6° Celsius.

Effect and Global Warming Recently‚ global warming has moved to a serious scientific issue. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth‚ the law of physics say that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere‚ where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while‚ warming the surface.1 The molecules are kind of like glass in a greenhouse which is why this process of warming is called
