People take the stance of either: yes‚ it is real‚ or no‚ it is not happening. The group that argues that it is happening states their main argument as being human contribution. But this argument can be rebutted by looking at the research that shows just how much of an impact humans really have on the warming issue and CO2

the burning of fossil fuels" - David Bellamy Global warming can be defined as the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and the question over what has been causing this increase in temperature has sparked many debates throughout the world. There is certainly evidence to suggest that global warming is a real issue‚ not just an urban myth. Since pre-industrial times (i.e. before the industrial revolution in the late 1700s) global average temperatures have risen by about 0.7°C

-Ronald Reagan.[1] Global warming is the rise of the temperature in air and the major reason of this problem is the drastic increase in the emission of CO2 caused by burning fuels.[2] The rise of the greenhouse gases started around the 1950’s because of the rise of industries and factories. [3] Global warming didn’t start in a specific location rather in the places with a higher industrial concentration like in United Kingdom‚ United States and China. [4] . The purpose of this essay is to clarify the

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚ a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Even though it is an ongoing debate‚ it is proved by the scientists that the planet is warming. The 29th century is experiencing a continued increase of Earth’s mean atmospheric temperature by about 1.4 degrees F and about two thirds of it occurring since 1980. This is global warming is affecting

Global warming has been happening for millions of years through periods of glacial’s and interglacial’s. The last glacial period occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene‚ approximately 110‚000 to 12‚000 years ago and ever since then the earth has been warming up. However the change between the heating and cooling used to be for natural

Global temperatures on the Earth’s surface have increased by 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit during the last century‚ faster than any time in the last 1000 years (Rauber 41). Consequently‚ the 1990s was the warmest decade in the last 1000 years (“Global Warming”). As humans emit fossil fuels‚ greenhouse gasses slowly warm the Earth’s atmosphere (“EPA Global”). This gradual process is known as global warming. As glaciers begin to melt‚ sea levels rise and coastal areas in Florida may suffer immense losses
