Two issues that worry many geologists are global warming and the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. What does the greenhouse effect have to do with global warming? When humans release gases into the air‚ the greenhouse effect will alter the temperature of the earth. More gases in the atmosphere means the earth will start to get warmer‚ and the result is global warming. On the other hand‚ if there was no greenhouse

He is one of the establishing fathers of Epidemiology and his work prodded a noteworthy change to the water frameworks in London. It appears to be practically humorous that a tap that was really at the focal point
