The Science and Impacts of Climate Change on the Maldives Science of global warming and climate change Anthropogenicly produced greenhouse gases has exacerbated global warming. The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have resulted in almost doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. The concentration of CO2 has increased at a rate of 2.0 ppm/yr.‚ which is much faster than in pre-industrial times (1). This greenhouse gas absorbs long wave radiation heat emanated away from the earth which

Climate Change Essay I claim that human activities‚ like emitting greenhouse gases‚ are causing global warming. Some scientists have decided that we‚ through the greenhouse effect‚ are causing global warming by burning oil‚ gas‚ and coal. The greenhouse effect helps to keep the Earth hot enough that it can sustain human life. Sunlight come down through the atmosphere‚ and then clouds reflect some of it off and back into space. Most of it is used to warm the planet. When the ground is warmed‚ the

In the documentary film Earth Story: The Big Freeze‚ they stated that geologist before discovered that some parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in gigantic ice sheets. Scientists learned that waxing and waning of these ice sheets are the products of the warming and cooling of our climate millions of years ago

Effects of Climate Change on Developing Countries “Over the past two centuries‚ the average temperature of our planet has been rising faster than at any time during the last 1000 years. 1997 was the hottest year ever recorded and 13 of the warmest years in the 20th century‚ occurred since 1980”. This problem has to be solved by the developed countries because they produce the higher gas emissions and they are the main cause of the global warming. Developed countries have the responsibility
