Simple Solutions to Global Warming Linda Hunt ITT Technical Institute Simple Solutions to Global Warming The most prominent concern that affects the environmental health of the world today is global warming. Although government agencies are making significant strides in providing solutions to global warming‚ the ultimate solution may lay in the hands of the individual citizens. Simple things‚ such as the way electricity is used in homes‚ the production of waste‚ and the choice of transportation

A hot button issue in current society is Global Warming. According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary global warming is “the recent increase in the world ’s temperature that is believed to be caused by the increase of certain gases in the atmosphere” (Merriam). Global warming as it stands is a scientific fact‚ as opposed to a theory. The legitimacy of Earth’s rising temperature isn’t where all the heated debates lie though. The debate is centered around whether or not humans are the cause of

If you don’t know what Global warming is it is the increase in the earth’s average temperature due to the release of several greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by humans. Global warming is affecting many different parts of the world and in turn causes a cause and effect. Glaciers are melting which is causing the sea level to rise. When the sea level rises it causes damage to people living in low lying areas‚ and damages to plants by covering them which causes them to die. Which in turn causes animals

Global Warming Debate Today we are debating the important topic of global warming. As the affirmative team‚ we strongly believe that global warming is caused by the actions of humans. But this is not just a belief‚ this is a fact. Global warming‚ by definition‚ is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth ’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants. The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the

Is Global Warming a threat to the Human Population? Global warming has been a lot in the media and most people have probably discussed it and feared it for an amount of years now. In the media‚ Global Warming has been presented as a catastrophic event that will change the world as we know it‚ and have disastrous and horrible effects on us‚ and that it might be our demise. At first‚ scientists believed Global Warming to be a result of too much human activity‚ but as they years have passed and

Natural Phenomenon The global warming subject has been a heated debate for the past few decades. Some scientists are saying this is a completely man made problem. There are two clear sides to this subject and both have evidence‚ but the evidence is stronger on that global warming is just Mother Nature at work. The government has poured hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars into research for manmade global warming. The theory is that humans are causing the “greenhouse effect” and putting too

Air Conditioning and Global Warming Air conditioning systems use energy to remove heat from a given location‚ transferring it to the exterior in the form of exhaust. Some of the energy is invariably wasted as heat‚ and this additional heat must also be exhausted. Thus‚ air conditioning results in net heat release to the environment. The warming effect is aggravated‚ moreover‚ because higher forms of energy such as electricity are used to power air conditioners. Generating and transmitting this

all of the fear‚ all of the phony science‚ could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people?" He has claimed "some parts of the IPCC process resembled a Soviet-style trial‚ in which the facts are predetermined‚ and ideological purity trumps technical and scientific rigor." Inhofe has suggested that supporters of the Kyoto Protocol such as Jacques Chirac are aiming at global positions. A Washington Post article describing the views

tear that it’s doing to our atmosphere. Between CO2 emissions and detrimental depletion of our world’s reserves of nonrenewable resources‚ we find our world now under a disease called global warming. This chronic warming of our entire atmosphere is leading to catastrophic and disastrous events that prove to be the single most largest issue of our world in known and written history. Scientists‚ according to Livescience magazine‚ say that global warming is the rapid increase in the surface temperature

GLOBAL WARMING – CAUSES AND EFFECTS Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today. This essay will discuss the main causes and effects of global warming. One of the main causes of Global warming is the carbon dioxide emissions‚ which comes from the burning of gasoline from the engines of cars‚ buses and other vehicles.
