Lukas Zebrauskas 09/21/10 Chemistry & Environment Global Warming Outline Thesis: How is global warming and greenhouse gases affecting our environment? I. What is global warming? A.) Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. II. What is the

Madhusoodanan Pillai Academia-Research January 04‚ 2015 Pillai 2 Global Warming International attention and research on climate changes across the globe had‚ over the past few decades‚ highlighted the significance of global warming. Many governments as well as the United Nations have been taking action to mitigate the risks associated with global warming. Scientists and research

to live and breathe. Global deforestation is growing at an alarming rate -- every year‚ 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed. Anthropogenic factors that can affect forests include logging‚ urban sprawl‚ human-caused forest fires‚ acid rain‚ invasive species‚ and the practice of shifting cultivation. If forests disappear‚ the amount of Carbon Dioxide in air will increase‚ resulting in increase of temperature of earth. Furthermore‚ it would cause global warming as the Carbon Dioxide

The Seriousness of Global Warming Luis Green Columbia Southern University The Seriousness of Global Warming One of the most controversial and popular environmental topics is the effects of global warming on the planet. Although global warming has become a more talked about issue in the last few years‚ scientists have been warning the world for a long time about the devastating impact that human related greenhouse gases is having and will continue to have on the environment

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

In the controversy over whether Global Warming there is two sides in which people can choose either human caused or just Mother Nature doing her thing. Most scientists will tell you that Global Warming is mostly the cause of humans. While there are some who will disagree and say that it is just nature doing what it has done for thousands of years. For most scientists the topic of global warming is one that is caused by us humans. They have many facts data to back this up. Some examples of these

Here’s how we can accomplish it. Global Warming Solutions 1. Reduce Emissions In order to effectively address global warming‚ we must significantly reduce the amount of heat-trapping emissions we are putting into the atmosphere. As

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: 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

Over the past few decades scientist have been observing a warming trend in the over all temperature of the earth. Although the earth has been known to go through warm and cold periods‚ it seems that we humans are causing the earth to heat up this time. The greenhouse effect is causing the earth to go through this warming trend that we call global warming. The greenhouse effect is caused when the infrared radiation from the sun is absorbed in atmospheric gasses such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide
