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

Global Warming: The Causes‚ Effects and the Human Influence Global warming refers to the rise in temperature of the earth’s surface. There exists an intricate ecological balance within the earth’s atmosphere. Slight increase in the temperature of the earth’s surface creates a serious ecological imbalance with far reaching consequences on earth’s aspect of life. The activities that contribute to such a change on earth are much likely attributable to humans. Earth is being effected highly by green

Thesis: Global warming is a human induced phenomenon causing a dramatic rise in average global temperatures and posing a major threat to our planet and it’s ecosystems. Points of Evidence: The science is clear: Human activity is causing our climate to change. -When we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum‚ we cause the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere. Though natural amounts of CO2 have varied from 180 to 300
