Global warming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system.[2] Since 1971‚ 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans.[3] Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage‚ the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface.[4][5] Since the early 20th century‚ the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase

challenges earth is facing is Global Warming. The global warming hypothesis orginated in 1896 when Svante Arrhenius‚ a Swedish chemist‚ developed the theory that carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels would cause global temperatures to rise by trapping excess heat in the earth’s atmosphere. The term “Global Warming” signifies the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. The change in climatic conditions is one of the impacts of global warming. It is directly impacting on rising

Paredes EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING Picture in your mind a world in which the temperature is at least ten degrees higher than it is today‚ where they’re supposed to be snow you can see a green valley and all the major cities are covered by water. This imaginary picture is not too far from the truth. This essay will discuss the effects of global warming as a life threatening condition causing extreme heat waves‚ glacier retreat and sea level rises. The first effect of global warming is the dramatic

I read articles in the media which said that many scientists believe that the threat of global arming was alarming and that our political leaders would have to do something in order to prevent the climate from getting hotter and hotter. Since this conference climate change has fascinated me. This research paper is divided into two main parts:

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
