GLOBAL WARMING The term global warming was first used in its modern sense in a science paper dated 8th August 1975 in the journal science called “Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?” The words used by Broker were new and they represented a convincing recognition that there was an amount of warming in the climate. Scientists previously used the phrase “inadvertent climate modification” because even though it was realized that humans could bring about a change in the environment‚ no-one

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

The 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

Global warming has been happening for millions of years through periods of glacial’s and interglacial’s. The last glacial period occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene‚ approximately 110‚000 to 12‚000 years ago and ever since then the earth has been warming up. However the change between the heating and cooling used to be for natural
