EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING Picture in your mind a world in which the temperature is at least ten degrees higher than it is today‚ where they’re supposed to be snow you can see a green valley and all the major cities are covered by water. This imaginary picture is not too far from the truth. This essay will discuss the effects of global warming as a life threatening condition causing extreme heat waves‚ glacier retreat and sea level rises. The first effect of global warming is the dramatic increase

Global Warming So are we digging our own grave ? So what is global warming ? Earth is naturally insulated by the delicate balance of heat-trapping which is also called Green House gasses in the atmosphere. When the sun shines on the earth a part of that heat is absorbed‚ Keeping the Earth warm enough for us humans to live on ! But what went wrong ? Over the last centuary‚ we humans have been releasing more and more carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gasses into our atmosphere when we burn

Global Warming and Climate Change: Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. What are the main indicators of Climate Change? As explained by the US agency

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... All right then‚ I know that each one of you here is perfectly aware of what

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

possible causes and effects of the phenomenon known as Global Warming Global warming refers to the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in recent decades‚ which is directly related to an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere leading to an increase in the amount of infrared or thermal radiation near the surface. This essay will evaluate the causes and their resulting effects of the phenomenon known as ‘Global Warming’. Interestingly

First‚ a paper published in the Journal of Climate by Jara Imbers‚ Ana Lopez‚ Chris Huntingford‚ and Myles Allen examines the recent IPCC statement that expressed with 95 percent confidence that humans are the main cause of the current global warming. One of the main challenges in attributing the causes of global warming lies in the representation of the natural internal

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚ a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Even though it is an ongoing debate‚ it is proved by the scientists that the planet is warming. The 29th century is experiencing a continued increase of Earth’s mean atmospheric temperature by about 1.4 degrees F and about two thirds of it occurring since 1980. This is global warming is affecting
