Global warming what is it? Global warming refers to an average increase in theEarth’s temperature‚ which in turn causes changes in climate. So what’s the big deal you ask? Well the big deal is‚ if temperatures rise above normal levels for a few days‚ it’s no big deal‚ the Earth will stay more or less the same‚ but if temperatures continue to rise over a longer period of time‚ then the Earth may experience some serious problems! What causes global warming? The Earth’s atmosphere contains gases that

Effect and Global Warming Recently‚ global warming has moved to a serious scientific issue. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth‚ the law of physics say that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere‚ where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while‚ warming the surface.1 The molecules are kind of like glass in a greenhouse which is why this process of warming is called

Global Warming and Acid Rain INTRODUCTION The phrase Global Warming has become familiar to many people as one of the important environmental issues of our day. Many views have been expressed concerning it‚ from the doom-laden to the dismissive. There is little debate that the earth is undoubtedly warming. It has been the subject of intense debate for decades now. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and industrial gases from fossil fuels play a huge role in why our environment is changing

Global Warming and Human Influence Global warming can be defined as; “An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution” (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary‚ 2008). According to University of Phoenix Global Warming (2008)‚ the data accumulated from daily measurements indicate that the Earth’s average surface temperature in 2005 was the third highest since the mid-1800s.

PLAN Ways to Slow Down Ozone Depletion Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect‚ in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap solar radiation close to the planet’s surface instead of allowing it to dissipate into space. Both natural and human-made conditions can contribute to global warming‚ but human beings can do several things to reduce the effects. The biggest cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide released when fossil

Global warming is currently the most controversial issue.The debate over global warming has been going all around the world and it seems endless. Depending on one’s political view‚ whether a person is a liberal or a conservative may consider global warming as the biggest challenge facing humanity or one may dismiss‚ saying it is not real or may simply claims global warming is a hoax.

the only planet we can live in and it’s the only planet we have so we have to take care of it. Knowing this we are still hurting it‚ whether it is through degrading the soil or through CFC’s. Global Warming is real and its hurting our environment and it’s entirely our fault. It’s true that Global Warming happens naturally however because of the human race we have increased how fast it’s happening. There have been many meetings with other nations to control the amount of carbon-dioxide released.
