Even though climate change is partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth‚ humans are still a major part of it. Greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ absorb and emit heat in the atmosphere‚ keeping Earth warm enough to support life. However‚ human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels‚ are adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Earth must get rid of energy at the same rate it receives energy. More greenhouse gases mean that more heat is being held in the atmosphere

WHAT IS CLIMATE? Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert‚ another a grassland‚ and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts‚ and why are there different types of life in each area? It is because of Climate.

Climate Change Essay I claim that human activities‚ like emitting greenhouse gases‚ are causing global warming. Some scientists have decided that we‚ through the greenhouse effect‚ are causing global warming by burning oil‚ gas‚ and coal. The greenhouse effect helps to keep the Earth hot enough that it can sustain human life. Sunlight come down through the atmosphere‚ and then clouds reflect some of it off and back into space. Most of it is used to warm the planet. When the ground is warmed‚ the

Sure CO2 etc are naturally occurring and I am sure had industrialized man never been here‚ the climate will still have changed for a variety of reasons‚ but not now and possibly slower - but the ever increasing ’rate’ that man‚ is pumping crap into our atmosphere is the unnatural thing!

Whether we are lighting our houses‚ washing our clothes‚ refrigerating our food or running our computers‚ energy is an essential of modern life. We use it in most of the things we do. It creates comfort and convenience; helps keep us entertained and healthy. Without it our civilization would collapse. Yet there is also a heavy price. Traditional methods of power generation have created a legacy of acid rain‚ oil spills and - despite billions of pounds of research - nuclear waste‚ issues all

Climate Scare Is all the hype about man made climate change going to destroy the human race. In The 11th Hour by Leonardo DiCaprio‚ we hear and see the perceived effects man-made climate change is having on our planet. Flooding‚ hurricanes‚ and drought‚ all caused by man’s use of fossil fuels‚ our only chance of survival‚ eliminate our use of fossil fuels. Bill McKibben agrees with this theory‚ in “350 Science” he informs us the current level of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ 392 parts per million‚
