The causes of global warming are broadly divided into two categories - natural causes and anthropogenic (man-made) causes. Natural Causes Natural causes of global warming include the release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands‚ climate change‚ volcanoes etc. Methane‚ a greenhouse gas which traps the heat within the earth’s atmosphere‚ is let out in large quantities in the arctic tundra and wetlands. In case of volcanoes‚ when a volcano erupts‚ tons of ash is let out into the atmosphere

Is global warming real and the result of human’s excessive pollution? This is a question that is constantly under dispute. To be able to argue this topic one first needs to know what global warming is. Global warming is “an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect”(dictionary). Now that it is apparent what is being argued‚ there are two layers to this debate. One is the argument that global warming

Global Warming and its Effects What is global warming? 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. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. However‚ global warming has its causes and it also has its effects on humans‚ and animals.

November 2014 Global Warming Essay The idea of global became prevalent when the world began industrializing. As the popularity of cars grew and industrial factories began to spring up the air quality suffered. The problem was not recognized because‚ aside from a few orange skies‚ there were no obvious effects. Although in this day and age we can see what global warming is doing to our Earth‚ there are still those people who believe that humans are too small to make an impact. Global warming is too

Economics of Global warming Global warming has been on the rise for several years now‚ becoming one of the most modern issues in society. It is pretty evident that it cannot be ignored. Global warming is when the earth heats up resulting in a temperature rise; it happens when greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere and causes trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Resulting in several social and political effects like higher sea levels

Global Warming is an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. Some of the “results” of global warming include‚ increase in temperatures‚ extreme weather patterns‚ rise in sea levels‚ massive crop failures‚ wide spread extinction of species

Global Warming Glaciers are melting‚ sea levels are rising‚ cloud forests are drying‚ and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. Its becoming clear that humans have caused most of the pat century’s warming by releasing heat-trapped gases as we power our modern lives‚ called Greenhouse Gases‚ their levels are higher now than in the last 650‚000 years. We call the result global warming and it is causing a set of changes to the earth’s climate. As the earth spins each day‚ the new heat swirls with
