Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes‚ "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas

why I am interested about this topic. Definition of Climate Change According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards‚ attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”. Our Earth is warming. Over the past century‚ Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11.5°F rising up predicted over the next hundred years. Small

GLOBAL WARMING-CAUSES AND EFFECTS Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚ a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Even though it is an ongoing debate‚ it is proved by the scientists that the planet is warming. . Global warming Causes The causes are many of which the main culprit is the increase in the greenhouse gases that is produced by burning fossil fuel and deforestation

Global warming means a gradual increase in the Earth’s average lower atmosphere due to emissions and build up of greenhouse gases . Global warming is when the earth heats up and the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Greenhouse gases are released mostly by the burning of fossil fuels for transportation‚ heating‚ electrical

Throughout the world the issue of global warming has become an increasingly important issue. Global warming has been an issue that has been heatedly debated for many years. Scientists all over the world have been debating weather global warming actually exists. If it exists some scientists believe it is natural. While others believe it is caused by humans. Global warming is defined as an average increase in temperature in the atmosphere near the earths surface and in the troposphere. Which can

January 14‚ 2013 Gases such as carbon dioxide‚ methane and nitrous oxide are sometimes called Greenhouse gases‚ are increasing into our atmosphere causing climate changes. Scientists call this climate change – Global Warming. Sea levels are rising‚ glaciers are melting‚ and storms are raging fiercer than ever before such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As the Earth spins each day‚ the new heat swirls with it‚ picking up moisture over the oceans‚ rising here‚ settling

Global Warming: We Are All Guilty For every person with an opinion‚ there is another person who believes the opposite. This goes for almost any public affair in today’s society‚ it is a part of human nature to disagree and argue. Considering this‚ it is no surprise that there are many differing opinions on the numerous different parts of one of today’s biggest issues: global warming. In most cases it is perfectly fine to have differing opinions on issues. However‚ this is becoming too big of

Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect. What is greenhouse effect? It is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries etc cause GLOBAL WARMING. The effects of Global Warming is very dangerous for
