Global Warming: Causes and Effects The term “global warming” is often used synonymously with the term climate change‚ but the two terms have distinct meanings. Global Warming is a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature. Novdia explained that “global warming refers to the documented historical warming of the Earth’s surface‚ based upon worldwide temperature records that have been maintained by humans since the 1880s” (Global Warming). Global warming is a major crisis in the world today. Three

[pic] Introduction Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. In principle‚ global warming is neutral as to the period or causes‚ but in both common and scientific usage the term generally refers to recent warming and implies a human influence. Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic

� PAGE * MERGEFORMAT �4� Global Warming All arguments have two sides to them. The global warming issue is not an exception to that general rule. I believe that global warming is partly natural process‚ but our industrial activities have majorly influenced the climate changes. These changes are causing extinction in some animals like the polar bears and the melting of the Arctic that causes sea levels to rise. Global warming would also cause extreme weather like hurricane Katrina and more frequent

Head: Global Warming Global Warming APA Research Hessa AlShaikh General Idea about Global Warming Global warming is the increase in average temperature of the oceans and atmosphere‚ both observed and predicted. The surface temperature of Earth depends on a balance of incoming and outgoing heat. When outgoing heat‚ or energy‚ exceeds incoming energy‚ an ice age occurs. Global warming

Modest Proposal Through the research I’ve done on global warming it appears to me that there is no problem with it at all‚ and that there is nothing to worry about. We need to accept that fact that global warming is actually helping the human race in many different ways. For examples the environment is warming up‚ the ocean levels are rising‚ and the increase of carbon dioxide are all benefits to the environment and economy. It’s almost as if global warming is turning the earth into a tropical

Global warming is result of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap radiation from sun and hold them from being released back into space. This causes rise in temperature at few places on earth. It is not much noticeable in western part of earth but in eastern parts like North Pole‚ Alaska and others slight increase in temperatures makes a huge difference. Scientists believe that if current situation continues many kinds of changes will take place which can be either beneficial or harmful

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and its oceans. The idea of Global warning has been around for years and it is believed that human actions is the catalyst to the rise of the temperature of the earth but recent studies and inaccurate information have caused controversy. Scientist don’t agree whether global warming is real or not‚ every day we are shown new evidence of that contradicts another evidence. Some scientist

Effects of Global Warming Penguins‚ Disease‚ Health Global warming is a very popular topic of conversation worldwide. People have speculated wildly about the causes‚ effects and solutions. Although global warming does not affect my life now‚ it is a danger that could impact the lives of my children. Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the earth ’s atmosphere that is theorized to contribute to climatic change and rising sea levels due to heat trapped by greenhouse

Part II In addition to the discussion on Antarctica and the Arctic‚ three statements are being challenged. The first statement that is being challenged concerns the worldwide temperature that “has apparently increased by less than a degree (0.9) Fahrenheit” which took place before World War II” (Stott). We are further updated that there was a “ride in temperature
