Gore have very different views on the issues of global warming. Botkin contends that the scare tactics used by Gore and many similar thinking environmentalists are simply a desperate means intended to alarm the public and force governments to take actions that are unnecessary and misdirected. Gore alleges that immediate action is necessary to avoid increases in the plant and animal extinction and the spread of diseases. Botkin admits that global warming is a fact‚ but as a scientist‚ he cannot agree

Analysis of The Great Global Warming Swindle The Great Global Warming Swindle (GGWS) is a controversial documentary on climate change by British television producer Martin Durkin1. It first aired on the BBCs channel 4 on March 8‚ 20072. This documentary argues against conventional scientific understanding of the degree and cause of recent‚ observed climate change. The overwhelming view amongst climate scientists is that twentieth century global warming is largely due to an increase in atmospheric

primary school‚ “Global Warming refers to the increase the temperature of the earth due to the absorption of infrared rays of sun by the greenhouse gases — Carbon dioxide being the major one.” After watching the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”‚ I began to realize what we humans have been doing to our home planet. It forces one to think that humans are the major cause of this hazard. It encourages one to believe the fact that there are ways in which we can reduce the effects of global warming. On the other

Reflecting its global scope‚ evidence of the Little Ice Age appears in the Southern Hemisphere as well. Sediment cores from Lake Malawi in southern Africa show colder weather from 1570 to 1820. A 3‚000 year temperature reconstruction based on varying rates of stalagmite growth in a cave in South Africa also indicates a colder period from 1500 to 1800. A 1997 study comparing West Antarctic ice cores with the results of the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2) indicate a global Little Ice Age affecting

Air Pollution and Global Warming SCI 275 Cheryl Wilson September 30‚ 2012 Tori Robinson Air pollution causes global warming through the greenhouse effect‚ according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases trap and heat energy from the sun and prevent it from escaping Earth’s atmosphere and entering space.” (EPA‚ 2012) Atmospheric pollutions are caused by gasses and solid particulates released into the atmosphere. The most hazard atmospheric

Global Warming is an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. Thus there is no indication that the warming between “1975-1998” and “1975 to 2009” is unnatural‚ unusual and/or caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Global Warming may have started in 1975‚ but there is no observable evidence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission based global warming began in 1975. Most climate scientists

Global Warming: Facts‚ Causes and Effects Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. It is‚ in fact‚ the increase in temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is one of the most current and widely discussed factors. It has a far-reaching impact on biodiversity and climatic conditions of the planet. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on rising sea levels‚ the melting

A notorious controversy surfacing nationwide consists of global warming. Chemistry plays a vital role in studying the chemicals involved in the greenhouse effect. It is critical for chemists to be informed about substances that contribute to climate change which subsequently allows them to take action. Statistics regarding the global warming theory remain an issue in that scientists disagree about the causes and effects. However‚ the Earth has indeed risen in temperature. Scientists supporting the

Is global warming due to human actions? Introduction Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of both the earth’s near surface air and the oceans. The temperature increase began in mid twentieth century and is predicted to continue into the future. For example‚ during the last hundred years ending in 2005‚ the earth’s surface air temperature has increased drastically (Thomas‚ C. D‚ 2004). Basically‚ global warming is the recent increase in the average air and ocean
