Global Warming: Fact or Fiction Taishanna Thomas American Intercontinental University Global Warming: Fact or Fiction Since 1997 when Global Warming was first discovered‚ there has been a lot of debate about it. Til this day there is still a lot of debate on whether Global Warming exist or if it’s something that doesn’t exist. During this reading I will explain the history of Global Warming‚ the causes and effects‚ how it affect the planet‚ humans and animals‚ statistics‚ and the many debate

Two issues that worry many geologists are global warming and the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. What does the greenhouse effect have to do with global warming? When humans release gases into the air‚ the greenhouse effect will alter the temperature of the earth. More gases in the atmosphere means the earth will start to get warmer‚ and the result is global warming. On the other hand‚ if there was no greenhouse

Global Warming So does the earth need us or do we need the earth? Well we know that we need the Earth but how can we help what we need? Global Warming is killing our planet that is essential for our living. So many people have different views on Global Warming. 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

The biggest threat to life on earth comes from global warming. Rich industrialised countries in the West have been burning fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil and gas for about 150 years‚ pumping out vast quantities of carbon dioxide. This gas traps the heat from the sun and causes the Earth and the atmosphere to get warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect. So why global warming is a problem? Well‚ high level of these greenhouse gases in the atmophere causes climate changes‚ which also lead to

Global Warming Have you noticed that our summers have been extremely hot and our winters have been less extreme than in previous years? If so you are noticing what is referred to as global warming. What this refers to is an overall increase in the temperatures around the world. Due to human activities‚ such as pollution and the amount of gas we use‚ and through natural events‚ it had caused the average temperature across the world to rise substantially. In addition‚ the rise of use in gases

Global Warming Essay Global warming is an important issue for humans to consider and science to figure out. Personally I don’t care very much about global warming and have never been active in green movements. The evidence presented in this class is very informative and useful when taking into account the numerous known and unknown causes and cures for global warming. However‚ my attitude towards global warming is unchanged. According to the Common Attitudes Toward Global Warming handout I think

Global warming is the average annual temperature of the earth. This topic has evidence that demonstrates it is a serious concern. This is shown in the affect of global warming on humans‚ wildlife‚ and in the image with the people at the beach. Global warming has a negative affect on humans and wildlife populations. To start‚ global warming has a negative affect on humans because it will begin to take up all of the food and water supplies from crops and gardens. Global warming is an extreme problem

Since global warming appeared during the last decade as a serious environmental issue‚ it has been the subject of a lot of debate. Global warming is defined as the warming of the earth by greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. But there are many questions about global warming‚ from its causes to its effects. Many people even question whether or not global warming exists. And if global warming does exist‚ people question why it exists. Well‚ there are two different viewpoints. The believers

GLOBAL WARMING One of the most strongly debated topics on our earth is the issue of climate change. Global warming and climate change is refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) I. Effect There are two effects of global warming which is the environmental and social changes

OF GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere‚ especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate. The term global warming is synonymous with Enhanced green house effect‚ implying an increase in the amount of green house gases in the earth’s atmosphere‚ leading to entrapment of more and more solar radiations‚ and thus increasing the overall temperature of the earth.
