Is global warming real and the result of human’s excessive pollution? This is a question that is constantly under dispute. To be able to argue this topic one first needs to know what global warming is. 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”(dictionary). Now that it is apparent what is being argued‚ there are two layers to this debate. One is the argument that global warming

Global warming is an increase of temperature world wide‚ which is a serious problem that affects our planet. The effects of global warming include: melting of polar ice caps‚ the rise of sea levels‚ the climate change‚ water contamination‚ devastation of the ecosystem and so on. Humans are to blame for global warming because of population growth‚ to use of non-environmentally safe products‚ and the on of them most important - deforestation. Firstly‚ the increase of population has a major affect

Global Warming essay Global warming‚ a largely discussed topic. Many people would argue that global warming is dangerous and is a big problem to the earth and the enviroment. Although these people have a very good point on the subject‚ you have to realize the cause of global warming and how there is a lot of evidence that is false and exaggerated.

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

“Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge‚ it’s common sense.” -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

Dear Editor‚ Pollution in our world is leading to increased Global Warming. This Global Warming is a problem that if it doesn’t effect us‚ it will effect all future generations to come. Global Warming is a problem that all of us can solve‚ and it should be solved through the work of our community. The Global Warming Problem is a big problem‚ with such an easy solution. Global Warming is caused by the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse effect causes the sun’s rays to come in the earth’s atmosphere

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

GLOBAL WARMING The term global warming was first used in its modern sense in a science paper dated 8th August 1975 in the journal science called “Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?” The words used by Broker were new and they represented a convincing recognition that there was an amount of warming in the climate. Scientists previously used the phrase “inadvertent climate modification” because even though it was realized that humans could bring about a change in the environment‚ no-one

Is Global Warming Real? Global warming has becoming an increasingly important issue in our environmentally conscious society as it is a problem affecting every aspect of the environment and the living beings everywhere on this planet. Yet‚ it is quite controversial as to its nature‚ cause‚ and the effects it will bring along in the future. The average temperature of the earth’s surface has risen by 0.8 degree Celsius since 1880. The International Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC)‚ based on the
