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

Controversy over Global Warming One of the largest argued topics in our world today is over global warming. People argue that is real‚ and others argue that it is fake. The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem we live in by damaging glaciers and weather patterns. Humans contribute to global warming yet non-believers will think otherwise. Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) most

GLOBAL WARMING What Is Global Warming? Global warming is the warming of the earth through carbon dioxide (CO2) being pumped into the atmosphere from tailpipes and smokestacks. Then the gases trap heat like the glass in a greenhouse. This is where the term the “greenhouse effect” came from. What’s Happening Scientists say that the barrier insulating the continental ice caps is melting. “The impacts of warming temperatures in Antarctica

Outline Title: Global Warming Introduction/Thesis: Global warming also known as the greenhouse effect is a matter that has received much responsiveness in recent years; however our climate change is not a new problem. It has been changing over many years. What is growing is the rate of change; it is accelerating due to the development of the human population. The growth of our population has enlarged our use of land‚ fuel‚ and manufacturing. All of these are growing releases into our atmosphere

Global warming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system.[2] Since 1971‚ 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans.[3] Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage‚ the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface.[4][5] Since the early 20th century‚ the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase
