Climate scientists tell us that global warming is a very serious matter and the world has to make firm decisions to try to slow the warming and eventually to reverse it. Some politicians agree‚ but many lack the political will to press for urgent changes. Many scientists believe it is already too late to stop a 2 degree Celsius rise in temperature. Already there have been changes. Extreme weather events are becoming more common. Heat waves have been happening. Famine is worsening in Africa

Global dimming‚ a gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth’s surface‚ has partially counteracted global warming from 1960 to the present.[55] The main cause of this dimming is aerosols produced by volcanoes and pollutants. These aerosols exert a cooling effect by increasing the reflection of incoming sunlight. The effects of the products of fossil fuel combustion—CO2 and aerosols—have largely offset one another in recent decades‚ so that net warming has been due to

Global Warming and Climate Change: Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. What are the main indicators of Climate Change? As explained by the US agency

SPEECH Our world is dying...And we are responsible for it. How come can we not do anything about it or at least try it? We’re all aware of the seriousness of this problem: CO2 emissions and other substances such as Nitrogen oxide‚ Hydrocarbons or Carbon Monoxide‚ are destroying our ozone layer and causing global warming to arise. In consequence‚ the greenhouse effect makes the world’s temperature to reach higher levels and lead to enormous disasters such as North Pole melting‚ Pollution... All

Global Warming: Isit to late to save our Earth? Global warming is a major cause of concern for today’s world. The effects of global warming are so dangerous that this issue has to be addressed immediately and the risks have to be minimized‚ even if they cannot be avoided totally. Global warming can be addressed as the increase in the temperature of the near surface atmosphere and the oceans. This will lead to large amounts of land vanishing into the ocean and the disappearance of many vegetation

Global warming is defined as the increase in average temperature in the atmosphere‚ which causes changes in global climate patterns. Many people do not believe in global warming. They believe it is a cleverly designed hoax to gain political or financial support. I‚ on the other hand‚ do not agree. I have seen how we as people take the earth for granted. How we cut down trees‚ destroying the natural habitat of thousands of organisms‚ how industries pump poisonous chemicals into the air. And some

BY MAXINE HINGSTON Although there are many external agreements and treaties that make the UKs power bounded‚ there are internal limits in our sovereignty. Mass Electorate is one of them limits – seen to some as ‘elected dictatorship’; as we only vote every 5 years on a Prime minster and/or Members of Parliament of the constituency that we live.

That is where they belong.* *Artificial environments are no substitute. Many animals suffer physically and psychologically in captivity. Most could never be released into the wild. The survival of all species requires us to change our behaviour to minimise our impact on the environment‚ species

This article was of particular interest to me as this is the second time in this week that I have read about the effects of climate change on crops. Also‚ this article reminds me of what I have experienced in my hometown. I come from a small town in India where the agriculture is a predominant industry. Growing up‚ I have seen the changes in farming as well as in the farmers. Any change in the agriculture has a major effect on the country’s economy. The following are the changes that I have
