[pic] Introduction Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. In principle‚ global warming is neutral as to the period or causes‚ but in both common and scientific usage the term generally refers to recent warming and implies a human influence. Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic

The effects of what global warming is doing to our client has been a question debated for many years. There has been considerable evidence that global warming has been linked to the increase of extreme weather events that could cause widespread devastation across the world. The damages that could be caused by these events could cost millions to even billions of dollars and could be even worse for third world countries that do not have the infrastructure to withstand these powerful events. The extreme

Billy Joel once said‚ “we didn’t start the fire”. He is right; global warming is a natural cause. The Earth was heating long before humans were emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases and even before humans were on planet Earth. Since humans were not alive during the period after the ice age (known as the post-ice age era)‚ then the heating of the Earth to melt the ice does not put humans at fault. Global warming is naturally caused by natural emission of greenhouse gases‚ Earth’s heating and
