    Thesis: Global warming is a human induced phenomenon causing a dramatic rise in average global temperatures and posing a major threat to our planet and it’s ecosystems. Points of Evidence: The science is clear: Human activity is causing our climate to change. -When we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum‚ we cause the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere. Though natural amounts of CO2 have varied from 180 to 300

    Global Warming The greenhouse effect‚ in environmental science‚ is a popular term for the effect that certain variable constituents of the Earth ’s lower atmosphere have on surface temperatures. It has been known since 1896 that Earth has been warmed by a blanket of gasses (This is called the "greenhouse effect."). The gases--water vapor (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and methane (CH4)--keep ground temperatures at a global average of about 15 degrees C (60 degrees F). Without them the average
