Global Warming SCI 207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Troy Breathwaite September 11‚ 2012 Global Warming I. Introduction A. Thesis Statement Global Warming is the steady increase in earth ’s average temperature. Global warming is real and mainly caused by the human race burning fossil fuels for energy. Studies have shown environmental changes on a scale unprecedented in human history as we know it‚ including melting of polar ice caps‚ increased desertification‚ rising sea

Global Warming Human kind has entered a brand new relationship with the earth. The constant and increasing pressures we are exerting threaten our planets ability to sustain life itself. Change-in the way we think ‚ and in the way we live-is needed now.Global warming is the most urgent environmental problem the world will face in the next decade and the next century. Few‚ if any‚ trends are more important to our future than climate change caused by human activities. Scientist around the world

Global warming has a big effect on the Earth. It can spread diseases. Global warming‚ warms the water which causes erratic weather. It increases the probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves. Global warming can also lead to the melting of the polar ice caps. Finally it can have great economic consequences. Global warming can lead to a spread in diseases across the world. As northern countries warm‚ disease carrying insects migrate north‚ bringing plague and disease with them. With warmth

1. Global warming was once an uncommon term used by a few scientists who were concerned about the decades of pollution affecting long-term weather patterns. 2. Good morning/afternoon whatever your teachers name is and fellow classmates. Today the idea of global warming is well known‚ but not many people understand it. 3. It is not unusual to hear someone complaining about a hot day or a freak storm and remark‚ its global warming. Well‚ is it? Although there has been a scientific consensus on

Global Warming is having many affects on Minnesota’s weather and is still getting worse to this day. It is causing more rain and snowstorms every year. Minnesota is one of the states that is getting affected the worst. The world’s temperature has been rising almost a third of a degree per decade since 1970. Compared to most other states‚ Minnesota has been having temperature increases and more big rainstorms. Rising temperatures in Minnesota have caused less snow but more rain and mud. The

of ecosystems to threats to human health. Experts in fields from forestry to economics‚ even national security experts‚ pitched in to assess the range of possible consequences. It was impossible to make solid predictions given the complexity of the global system‚ the differences from one region to another‚ and the ways human society itself might try to adapt to the changes. But by the start of the 21st century‚ it was clear that climate change would bring serious harm to many regions — some more than

In this picture ‚ you can take conclusion that the ice is melting rapidly and thus the water level is rising at a fast speed. This is all happening from global warming. This can cuase many animals to die or get extinct‚ also the people that are living nearby can also be affected by this. Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels and forests‚ we lately have been doing this a lot. The polar bear is saying “ha ha youre eliminated!” to the other polar bear because there playing musical ice chairs

Global Warming: Fact or Fabrication Thousands of coastal cities and even whole islands are at risk of being claimed by the ocean due to sea levels worldwide rising at a rate of 0.14 inches per year since the early 1990s (Sea). This increase in sea levels is generated by global warming. Global warming‚ also known as climate change‚ is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ that could have a permanent and devastating effect on the world (Global). It has

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

how tornadoes have changed since temperatures started rising. Secondly‚ computer simulated models can’t tell scientists much about tornadoes either. Because these models work on large scales‚ simulating changes in the ocean and the atmosphere on a global scale. In contrast‚ tornadoes are minor weather events. As Dr Suzanne Gray‚ a meteorologist from Reading University explains: "Tornadoes are too small-scale for current climate models to simulate‚ so it is not possible to say very much about
