Abstract What is global warming? Global warming is the heating of the earth. Global warming happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the atmosphere. This is known as the greenhouse effect. It prevents heat and light from escaping the earth’s atmosphere kind of like the earth is a giant greenhouse. Global warming is a good thing‚ but at the same time‚ can have devastating effects if not properly monitored and

time to rise again to secure our future‚” said former Vice-President Al Gore. Al Gore made a speech about global warming and said how to keep it healthy. The earth can be kept healthy and exist longer without global warming. Global warming is becoming a popular topic around the world. “Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect” discusses what global warming is. This is how global warming is caused. Energy travels from the sun to the earth to heat it. The earth then radiates energy back into

Resources 1001 Causes and Consequences of Global Warming To change something is to transform or convert it from what it is or what it would be if left alone. Global Warming is changing the earth. It is increasing temperature and affecting many plant and animal habitats. Those are only two of the many affects that Global Warming has on the planet. It is caused by many factors such as Greenhouse gases‚ thermal pollution and many more. If Global Warming continues at the rate it is presently going

Global Warming As we know‚ global warming is becoming a global issue. It alarms the whole world to protect the destroyed environment. Global warming is a "natural phenomenon". In general‚ we know that the origin of global warming is the emission of carbon dioxide. It was verified that the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature: when there is more carbon dioxide the temperature gets warmer. This topic should be discussed under current situation to advocate people concerning with this

What is the main cause of global warming? In the last century‚ the sea level has rose for about 17 centimetres. The rate in the last decade is however‚ nearly the double of last century. Major global surface reconstructions also showed that the Earth has warmed since 1880 and it’s still going on. Oceans are also warming up‚ due to the heat. Not only that‚ the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting‚ glaciers are disappearing and extreme weather events have occurred more often. All these

Global warming W hat is global warming? The changes in the surface air temperature‚ referred to as the global temperature‚ brought about by the enhanced greenhouse effect‚ which is induced by emissions of greenhouse gases into the air. How Global Warming Works Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fossil fuels (coal‚ oil‚ natural gas) Example of the Greenhouse Effect The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield. This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield
