are what is wrong and we must make it right’ (Al Gore‚ 2007) In the context of global warming‚ discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. Global warming has been happening for millions of years through periods of glacial’s and interglacial’s. The last glacial period occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene‚ approximately 110‚000 to 12‚000 years ago and ever since then the earth has been warming up. However the change between the heating and cooling used to be for natural

Effects of global warming. Global warming refers to the rise in the average temperature of oceans and Earth’s atmosphere since the 19th century and its continuation till today (Wikipedia‚ 2012). Since the 20th century‚ the earth’s surface’s temperature has increased 0.8°C (Wikipedia‚ 2012). The increase seems diminutive‚ but such unsubstantial change has exerted a devastating influence on the whole planet. The environment‚ the people and animals on earth have all suffered from global warming. It is

Global Warming and its Effects What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. However‚ global warming has its causes and it also has its effects on humans‚ and animals.

Today’s modern world has led to the biggest problem faced in history: global warming. Today’s fast-growing industrialized economy is causing serious environmental issues such as extinction of much of the life on this planet‚ temperature changes‚ and sea level rise. One simple way of reducing the effects of global warming is changing our way of living. One benefit of reducing the industrialized economy of today is that natural habitats will last longer.

Causes of Global Warming Photograph by Peter Essick What Causes Global Warming? Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They’ve looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that’s been measured can’t be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans. To bring all this information together‚ the United

Is global warming real and the result of human’s excessive pollution? This is a question that is constantly under dispute. To be able to argue this topic one first needs to know what global warming is. Global warming is “an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect”(dictionary). Now that it is apparent what is being argued‚ there are two layers to this debate. One is the argument that global warming
