Global Warming is caused by human pollution; Nowadays our environment becomes different from the past‚ now the world is becoming dangerously warmer due to the human pollution of greenhouse gasses‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and deforestation‚ which it traps heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. “These are the Top 10 Global Warming Effects and Causes: (1) Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants; our over increasing addiction to electricity from coal

Global Warming The greenhouse effect‚ in environmental science‚ is a popular term for the effect that certain variable constituents of the Earth ’s lower atmosphere have on surface temperatures. It has been known since 1896 that Earth has been warmed by a blanket of gasses (This is called the "greenhouse effect."). The gases--water vapor (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and methane (CH4)--keep ground temperatures at a global average of about 15 degrees C (60 degrees F). Without them the average

Global Warming The topic of global warming has become one of the worlds rising issues and has recently become an important piece of the presidents’ annual state of the union speech. The most important step to end this issue is to recognize who’s causing it. It must be all the industrial nations fault? We can’t blame any one nation for the worlds ever so sudden climate change because this particular issue involves all of us and the only people to blame are ourselves. The climate has been going

vast ranging from the daily essentials of food and shelter‚ to cures for cancer and possibly AIDS. As destruction of the rainforest continues‚ the effects on plants are immense through the loss of genetic diversity and the disappearance of species. Plant species extinction is reaching critical levels. With this extinction comes a cascade of effects on the ecosystems in which plants play a vital role. New medicinal studies and development will be hindered as plant diversity diminishes. Loss of

Abstract What is global warming? Global warming is the heating of the earth. Global warming happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the atmosphere. This is known as the greenhouse effect. It prevents heat and light from escaping the earth’s atmosphere kind of like the earth is a giant greenhouse. Global warming is a good thing‚ but at the same time‚ can have devastating effects if not properly monitored and

Global Warming Is Not Anthropogenic Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average temperature over the past one hundred years‚ Earth’s surface temperatures have risen one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. Global Warming is a problem because it is causing ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise. Burning fossil fuels is also releasing more greenhouses gases making temperature rise even more. Temperatures have risen globally because of an upsurge of greenhouse gases and also the Earth’s natural

Resources 1001 Causes and Consequences of Global Warming To change something is to transform or convert it from what it is or what it would be if left alone. Global Warming is changing the earth. It is increasing temperature and affecting many plant and animal habitats. Those are only two of the many affects that Global Warming has on the planet. It is caused by many factors such as Greenhouse gases‚ thermal pollution and many more. If Global Warming continues at the rate it is presently going

For years‚ Global warming has become a threatening issue that haunts the world. One of the most conspicuous evidences is the world that is becoming increasingly hotter which leads to several disadvantages to human and environment as well. From the general perspective‚ human is said to be the culprit of the global warming. This is mainly due to the fact that most human activities contribute to the increasing level of carbon dioxide. However‚ if the case is to be investigated more profoundly‚ there

Sheretta Williams Environmental Science July 18‚ 2013 Global Warming Global warming is the one of the biggest challenges that the planet may be facing today. Global warming is the increase of the temperature in the earth’s surface air. It tends to be one of the greatest factors that are being discussed. There are many trends that demonstrate global warming has a great impact on the rise of the sea levels‚ ice caps that are melting and the changes in the climates worldwide. Because of this
