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

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

1. Define "global warming." Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and the ocean due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming. Include a list of some of the gases that are believed to contribute to global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ mainly from industries has increased significantly. The atmospheric concentration of this gas and its

Global Warming is an issue that the World has been dealing with for many decades. I really did not understand about Global Warming until I enrolled in a Meteorology class at American Public University‚ and it was then that I was introduced to the issue of Global Warming‚ and the damage that is happening to our World. Global Warming refers to the gradual warming of global average temperatures due to the slow increase concentrations of greenhouses gases‚ primarily carbon dioxide. Burning of fossil

individuals know how many years does our planet has left before it reaches an environmental tipping point or in what year was the hottest earth temperature recorded. I admit that I am one of those individuals who proclaimed and believed that I am a friend of the earth. After all‚ I try to conserve water as much as I can and I segregate garbage whenever I have the chance. But like many individuals out there‚ I was ignorant about the real issue concerning our environment‚ that is until I have seen

PERSUASIVE SPEECH ON GLOBAL WARMING by: Jennifer Zelmer Introduction: We all know about global warming‚ but do we really care or try to do at least some of the things that will help stop it or at least slow it down? 1) Over the last century our planets temp. has risen 1 degree. I know that doesn’t sound like much but it’s been enough to melt a lot of the polar ice caps and glaciers. A) The hottest years ever recorded were in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. B) In 2007 there was

Technical report on global warming WJR Alexander Professor Emeritus‚ Department of Civil and Biosystems Engineering‚ University of Pretoria‚ South Africa. Email alexwjr@iafrica.com 23 November 2005 I have just completed my technical report An assessment of the likely consequences of global warming on the climate of South Africa. (The extended summary of the report is now available. It consists of 92 pages‚ 14 tables‚ 16 figures and 50 references.) The conclusion is that there are no scientifically

‘The Implications For Health In Global Warming’ This essay will discuss global warming and the degree to which it will negatively affect people’s health and well being. Negative global warming related health effects will vary greatly due to geographical location and socio-economic status. Generally developed countries will be far better placed to confront the health challenges of climate change‚ than the developing word that already experiences a lower average state of health and less developed
Premium Climate change Global warming Greenhouse gas
Global warming is called the greenhouse effect because the gases that are gathering above the earth make the planet comparable to a greenhouse. By trapping heat near the surface of the earth‚ the greenhouse effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Many scientists criticized Mr. Hansen’s report‚ and the debate over global warming continues today. Current fears stem largely from the fact that global warming is occurring at such a rapid pace. Models are predicting that over the

Lê Lan Lam – USTH BI3-044 Writing project 2: The role of CO2 in global warming Nowaday‚ climate change and global warming are very urgent problems of the world. There are many mixed opinions about the role of CO2 in those processes. Most of people – such as Rosanne Skirble write in “Scientists 95% Certain Climate Change Is Man-made”‚ or GPWayne with the article “Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming” – believe that CO2 is the main factor and human – who release majority of greenhouse
