Abstract Global warming is a direct result of human activities on this planet. Our species have inhabited this planet for thousands of years but only since the 1900’s have scientists been able to measure the changes that we have induced on earth. It is estimated that temperatures have risen globally by about 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit‚ which may seem minor‚ but have caused physical changes on the planet (and potentially dangerous ones in the future). The “greenhouse effect” is a term many politicians

come can we not do anything about it or at least try it? We’re all aware of the seriousness of this problem: CO2 emissions and other substances such as Nitrogen oxide‚ Hydrocarbons or Carbon Monoxide‚ are destroying our ozone layer and causing global warming to arise. In consequence‚ the greenhouse effect makes the world’s temperature to reach higher levels and lead to enormous disasters such as North Pole melting‚ Pollution...

KÜRESEL ISINMA NEDİR? İnsanlar tarafından atmosfere salınan gazların sera etkisi yaratması sonucunda dünya yüzeyinde sıcaklığın artmasına küresel ısınma deniyor. Daha ayrıntılı açıklamak gerekirse dünyanın yüzeyi güneş ışınları tarafından ısıtılıyor. Dünya bu ışınları tekrar atmosfere yansıtıyor ama bazı ışınlar su buharı‚ karbondioksit ve metan gazının dünyanın üzerinde oluşturduğu doğal bir örtü tarafından tutuluyor.[pic] Bu da yeryüzünün yeterince sıcak kalmasını sağlıyor. Ama son dönemlerde

Is Global Warming a Myth? “Global warming is a fact‚ and human activity is the cause”‚ were the words of Bill Clinton on his views concerning global warming.

Global warming Global warming has been a hot topic in recent decades. According to the Climate Literacy‚ global warming refers to is a natural phenomenon whereby heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere‚ primarily water vapor keep the Earth’s surface warm. Human activities‚ primarily burning fossil fuels and changing land cover patterns‚ are increasing the concentrations of some of these gases‚ amplifying the natural greenhouse effect.. I had learned some basic concepts about global warming when
