Is global warming real? Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. There is evidence of global warming all around us. For example‚ if we were to look at a graph of recorded global temperatures from the civil war on we would find that 20 of the 21 hottest years recorded happened in the last 25 years. (Al Gore 72) But for many skeptics this alone is not enough to prove that we are in real danger and that global warming is real. The fact of the matter

Controversy over global warming exists as a dispute regarding the nature and consequences of global warming. The theory of global warning as presented in the mainstream media currently assumes that carbon dioxide is an atmospheric greenhouse gas and since humans are producing more carbon dioxide than previously‚ the temperature must therefore rise. The cause of global warming is not actually known‚ but in it ’s simplest terms the debate boils down to whether or not global warming is caused by human interference

Global Warming and its Effects What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. However‚ global warming has its causes and it also has its effects on humans‚ and animals.

entire history of impact studies‚ but sketches some examples. Current scientific understanding of impacts is summarized at the end). Through the first half of the 20th century‚ when global warming from the greenhouse effect was only a speculation‚ the handful of scientists who thought about it supposed any warming would be for the good. Svante Arrhenius‚ who published the first calculations‚ claimed that nations like his native Sweden "may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates."(1)
