Running Head: THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON RAINFORESTS The Effects of Global Warming on Rainforests Denine Fields Introduction to Logic November 8‚ 2012 Abstract Global warming is something that humans are aware of‚ yet efforts to reverse the current situation are not a priority on the list of things to be corrected. Global warming affects plants‚ animals‚ and humans; and if there are no immediate changes‚ the world‚ as we know it‚ will cease to exist. Contents of Paper Global warming is the rise

Jennifer May 1st‚ 2014 Paper #9 Global Warming “What is Global Warming?” One might ask. Well‚ Global Warming is an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the green house. Global Warming is a silent murderer. Global Warming is the cause for the many natural disasters. For example‚ haven’t we all noticed the number of large wildfires we’ve had just this

Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods‚ called interglacial periods‚ appear to last approximately 15‚000 to 20‚000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18‚000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is closer to its end than its beginning (Geo Craft). This leads to the growing debate of today‚ is global warming man-made? Or is it just a cycle that the Earth goes through? This is a controversial issue today‚ however‚ global warming

Climate scientists tell us that global warming is a very serious matter and the world has to make firm decisions to try to slow the warming and eventually to reverse it. Some politicians agree‚ but many lack the political will to press for urgent changes. Many scientists believe it is already too late to stop a 2 degree Celsius rise in temperature. Already there have been changes. Extreme weather events are becoming more common. Heat waves have been happening. Famine is worsening in Africa

Name: Course: Tutor: Date: Scientific Proof for Claims that Global Warming is Groundless The average temperature increase due to the greenhouse effect on the earth’s surface is known as global warming. Heat entrapment around the earth’s atmosphere leads to the greenhouse effect. This entrapment is manly facilitated by greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere from several sources both natural and anthropogenic. The gases include carbon dioxide and ammonia. Combustion of fossil fuels‚ industrial

solving climate change Global warming is an issue that has recently been pushed to the forefront of political leaders debates and policy making. With temperatures at the end of the century that ‘might be up by anything from 1.1C to 6.4C’(Economist 2009) and the fact that ‘current average global temperatures are only 5C warmer than the last ice age’ (Economist 2009) there is some serious concern about the welfare of humans over the next century. However the predicament of global warming originates

1/2/14 Global warming paragraph Global warming is a pretty known topic across the globe today. Many people have different theories on why they think the temperature of the earth is changing and some have little interest at all. For me it is a very interesting topic and I find myself wanting to do something about it. I believe that the effects of global warming are definitely human created‚ whether it be greenhouse gasses‚ carbon gas emission or the mass clearing of trees‚ I know there is something

Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. The Earth is in a warming period since the Ice Age. The warming periods called glacial periods cause the Earth to retrogress back to a cold ice age climate after a couple of years. This leads to the growing debate of today‚ Is global warming caused by humans? Or caused naturally? This is a controversial issue and debate today‚ however‚ global warming is not man-made‚ in fact‚ it is a normal and natural cycle for the Earth and

Global dimming‚ a gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth’s surface‚ has partially counteracted global warming from 1960 to the present.[55] The main cause of this dimming is aerosols produced by volcanoes and pollutants. These aerosols exert a cooling effect by increasing the reflection of incoming sunlight. The effects of the products of fossil fuel combustion—CO2 and aerosols—have largely offset one another in recent decades‚ so that net warming has been due to
