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

Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming Today‚ at the down of 21st century‚ together with the 20th century‚ especially the second half‚ is the time when Earth’s environment change at the very rapid rate. Humans have lived on this planet for thousands of years. I think now is the time to think how do we impact the place where we live‚ and the only place where we can live. The impact of human race on the natural processes of our planet has now reached the levels that are now global‚ not local anymore

Describe the strategies that have been suggested to reduce global warming. To what extent do you think they are successful? 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. It is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane produced by human activities such

Global Warming Global Warming is described as the progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the alterations to the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. This whole process occurs naturally and has kept the Earth’s temperature about 59 degrees

Global Warming Debate Today we are debating the important topic of global warming. As the affirmative team‚ we strongly believe that global warming is caused by the actions of humans. But this is not just a belief‚ this is a fact. Global warming‚ by definition‚ is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth ’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants. The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction? Is global warming taking place? Are humans the cause of it? Lately these questions are being asked more and more by people who believe that the earth’s climate is growing steadily warmer at an alarming rate. Our planet’s ever-changing climate has captured the attention of those who would have us agree that without drastic modification of our behavior‚ we will ultimately destroy the world in which we live. However‚ these activists are using scare tactics based upon

Global Warming And Climate Change – An Issue Over the past ten years global warming and climate change has become an issue. Although is it an issue that people need to be concerned about? I believe that it is something that humans should pay attention to and be concerned about‚ but I feel that we have no impact or control over this issue. Instead of blaming people we should pay attention to the sun making a difference on global climate then maybe it could prove that it has a bigger impact than
