Billy Joel once said‚ “we didn’t start the fire”. He is right; global warming is a natural cause. The Earth was heating long before humans were emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases and even before humans were on planet Earth. Since humans were not alive during the period after the ice age (known as the post-ice age era)‚ then the heating of the Earth to melt the ice does not put humans at fault. Global warming is naturally caused by natural emission of greenhouse gases‚ Earth’s heating and

Air Conditioning and Global Warming Air conditioning systems use energy to remove heat from a given location‚ transferring it to the exterior in the form of exhaust. Some of the energy is invariably wasted as heat‚ and this additional heat must also be exhausted. Thus‚ air conditioning results in net heat release to the environment. The warming effect is aggravated‚ moreover‚ because higher forms of energy such as electricity are used to power air conditioners. Generating and transmitting this

Describe the strategies that have been suggested to reduce global warming. To what extent do you think they are successful? Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C. It is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane produced by human activities such
