to many island nations around the world. The main cause of these disappearances is “global warming” which is defined as “an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate”1. Controversial debates on causes of global warming are on-going. According to the research conducted by Derek Markham‚ a famous analyst on climate change‚ the main causes of global warming may be carbon dioxide emissions from burning plants and gasoline‚ deforestation and increased

Is Global Warming real? The term global warming does not have a universal definition. It is a term used by many governments‚ organisations and companies to describe the rise in the average temperature on Earth’s surface. Deborah White says ‘Global warming refers to the increased temperature of Earth’s surface‚ including land‚ water and near-surface air’. The atmosphere is made up of various gases‚ some of these gases are called greenhouse gases. These natural gasses do not cause concern‚ however

Strazimiri School: Braemar College Biology 11 December 12 ‚ 2012 Photosynthesis and global warming Introduction: Photosynthesis can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. It represents a sink for carbon dioxide in the environment. Reducing forests and other vegetation can produce a net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Therefore‚ more photosynthesis might act to reduce global warming. On the other hand‚ this is a more complicated title than it appears at first. Photosynthesis:

they are still doing exactly the same now. In other words‚ climate change is an entirely natural phenomenon‚ nothing to do with 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
