Global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems that is mainly (concerned by) the government. In terms of addressing this problem‚ biofuels‚ which are a renewable energy produced from crops including corn‚ sugar cane and palm oil‚ are considered as a way to reduce carbon emissions. However‚ biofuels cannot solve this problem effectively due to their limitations which increase greenhouse gases emissions instead of reducing it and also cause deforestation. This essay will outline the

Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. This essay will examine the reasons why global warming is occurring and discuss some possible solutions. The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into

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

GLOBAL WARMING : WHAT LIES AHEAD GLOBAL WARMING Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. In recent usage‚ especially in the context of environment policy‚ it is more generally known as "global warming"‚ which occurs due to increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Most of the observed temperature increase has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases‚ which result

Abstract What is global warming? Global warming is the heating of the earth. Global warming happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the atmosphere. This is known as the greenhouse effect. It prevents heat and light from escaping the earth’s atmosphere kind of like the earth is a giant greenhouse. Global warming is a good thing‚ but at the same time‚ can have devastating effects if not properly monitored and

time to rise again to secure our future‚” said former Vice-President Al Gore. Al Gore made a speech about global warming and said how to keep it healthy. The earth can be kept healthy and exist longer without global warming. Global warming is becoming a popular topic around the world. “Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect” discusses what global warming is. This is how global warming is caused. Energy travels from the sun to the earth to heat it. The earth then radiates energy back into

It is increasing temperature and affecting many plant and animal habitats. Those are only two of the many affects that Global Warming has on the planet. It is caused by many factors such as Greenhouse gases‚ thermal pollution and many more. If Global Warming continues at the rate it is presently going
