Unimaginable Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes

Global Warming and Climate Change: Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. What are the main indicators of Climate Change? As explained by the US agency

Global Warming So are we digging our own grave ? So what is global warming ? Earth is naturally insulated by the delicate balance of heat-trapping which is also called Green House gasses in the atmosphere. When the sun shines on the earth a part of that heat is absorbed‚ Keeping the Earth warm enough for us humans to live on ! But what went wrong ? Over the last centuary‚ we humans have been releasing more and more carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gasses into our atmosphere when we burn

Abstract Global warming is a direct result of human activities on this planet. Our species have inhabited this planet for thousands of years but only since the 1900’s have scientists been able to measure the changes that we have induced on earth. It is estimated that temperatures have risen globally by about 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit‚ which may seem minor‚ but have caused physical changes on the planet (and potentially dangerous ones in the future). The “greenhouse effect” is a term many politicians

come can we not do anything about it or at least try it? We’re all aware of the seriousness of this problem: CO2 emissions and other substances such as Nitrogen oxide‚ Hydrocarbons or Carbon Monoxide‚ are destroying our ozone layer and causing global warming to arise. In consequence‚ the greenhouse effect makes the world’s temperature to reach higher levels and lead to enormous disasters such as North Pole melting‚ Pollution... All right then‚ I know that each one of you here is perfectly aware of

Global warming Global warming has been a hot topic in recent decades. According to the Climate Literacy‚ global warming refers to is a natural phenomenon whereby heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere‚ primarily water vapor keep the Earth’s surface warm. Human activities‚ primarily burning fossil fuels and changing land cover patterns‚ are increasing the concentrations of some of these gases‚ amplifying the natural greenhouse effect.. I had learned some basic concepts about global warming when
