Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Higher temperatures threaten dangerous consequences: drought‚ disease‚ floods‚ and lost ecosystems. From sweltering heat to rising seas‚ global warming’s effects have already begun. Many people still believe that since the earth is so big‚ human beings cannot possibly have any major impact on the way the planet operates. The truth is we have grown so numerous and our technologies have become so

that global warming is taking place. Global surface temperature has increased about a degree in the past century. The progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect is responsible for changes in global climate patterns. An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures is widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting from pollution. Atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) is known as a Greenhouse gases

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 level. As sea level rises‚ islands near sea level sink into the sea. Residents on these islands lose their beloved homes‚ and are forced

Global Warming is real and its hurting our environment and it’s entirely our fault. It’s true that Global Warming happens naturally however because of the human race we have increased how fast it’s happening. There have been many meetings with other nations to control the amount of carbon-dioxide released.

A GLOBAL PROBLEM: RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is a tangible problem and its existence can no longer be denied. It is one of the most important scientific‚ economic threats facing to the earth. There are many factors lead to climate change‚ such as greenhouse gases‚ carbon dioxide‚ fossil fuels. Although it would be self-deception to believe that humans had nothing to do with it‚ the fact is that human activities caused negative effects on climate change. More people exploit

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction? Many consider global warming to be the largest threat facing the people of Earth‚ while others view it as nothing more than Liberal propaganda. Both sides have extremely well thought out arguments. According to Environmentalist there is a growing realization that human activities are threatening the health of the natural systems that make life possible on this planet.

Global Warming Global Warming is described as the progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the alterations to the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. This whole process occurs naturally and has kept the Earth’s temperature about 59 degrees
