Global warming has a big effect on the Earth. It can spread diseases. Global warming‚ warms the water which causes erratic weather. It increases the probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves. Global warming can also lead to the melting of the polar ice caps. Finally it can have great economic consequences. Global warming can lead to a spread in diseases across the world. As northern countries warm‚ disease carrying insects migrate north‚ bringing plague and disease with them. With warmth

significantly further‚ the amount of ultra-violet light reaching Earth would increase drastically and skin cancer rates would then soar. An effective worldwide ban on CFCs in 1987 meant the ozone hole was decreasing in size over decades. Niwa chemistry-climate modeller Olaf Morgenstern said the ozone hole over Antarctica would break up during November or December. But

theory of global warming is nothing new. The Nobel Prize-winning chemist Svante Arrhenius first proposed the idea of global warming in 1896. Carbon dioxide‚ he knew‚ traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. He also knew that burning coal and oil releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Arrhenius speculated that continued burning of coal and oil would increase concentrations of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere‚ making the planet warmer. It’s called thegreenhouse effect. What warms the Earth? To determine what is causing

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. One of the top contributors of deforestation is agriculture. Farmers cut forests to provide more room for planting crops or grazing livestock. Often many small farmers will each clear a few acres to feed their families by cutting down trees and burning them in a process known as “slash and burn” agriculture. Logging operations‚ which provide the world’s wood and paper

BIO-220 June 3‚ 2014 Tina Salat Global Warming caused by Human activities Global warming is‚ in essence‚ the gradual rising of temperatures in the Earth’s atmosphere. As global warming increases‚ temperatures become higher; mostly in the Earth’s oceans‚ which can have devastating effects on the Earth’s ecosystem (Weart‚ 2004). Global warming in when “the Earth’s atmosphere is overloaded with heat-trapping carbon dioxide‚ which threatens large-scale disruptions in climate with disastrous consequences”

national and international efforts to tackle the problem of global climate change. Since the late nineteenth century‚ the view that global climate change is directly influenced by human behaviour has become increasingly accepted as scientists have provided better evidence for the relationship between the level of global carbon dioxide concentrations and global temperatures. A large number of natural phenomenon and processes are affected by climate change‚ and these in turn can have a negative impact

The Human Factor of Global Warming The Human Factor of Global Warming Global warming has been a growing concern for many over the last several decades. The effects of global warming are evident and broad‚ with historical research dating the first global warming crisis back 56 million years ago‚ better known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum‚ or PETM (Jardine‚ 2011). Research from the composition of sediments of fossils shells of marine organisms conclude that carbon dioxide trapped within

Presentation Well‚ today at "Earth is our home" we are going to talk about the trending topic of the week "Global warming". + (Efrain) In my opinion the global warming isn’t as bad as most of people believe. Maybe if more people think objectively‚ they will find that the melting of the polar ice caps have a good function because frozen regions of the earth may experience more plant growth. Also it could bring longer growing
