Scientists call this climate change – Global Warming. Sea levels are rising‚ glaciers are melting‚ and storms are raging fiercer than ever before such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As the Earth spins each day‚ the new heat swirls with it‚ picking up moisture over the oceans‚ rising here‚ settling

to hunt. What could be causing these extreme changes; global warming. Global warming is the rising in temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ and the idea that it will continue to rise. It is mainly caused by high amounts of greenhouse gas that are said to be produced by human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gas traps heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere which in turn increases temperatures. Global warming and its effects are creating growing dangers for

I. WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING? Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s average measured temperature overtime. This measured average temperature is derived from both the near-surface air as well as ocean waters. Scientists began measuring this temperature beginning in the mid-20th century and have continued to monitor fluctuations and deviations in measurements ever since. The average global temperature increased approximately 1.33°F over the past 100 years ending in 2005. This led the

Is Global Warming a Conspiracy? Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C‚ with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse
