countries are forging new treaties and protocols to create a global paradigm shift in the way we handle climate change. After analyzing the different articles in the reading I noticed a reoccurring theme in most of the articles. With the recent shifts in the weather countries have been coming together more frequently to discuss the issue. This is a positive move forward‚ but it seems that all that comes of the gatherings on global warming is hard promises by countries to cut back on emissions to a

This paper focuses on the negative influence of population growth on the environment in these areas: air pollution‚ water pollution‚ global warming and ozone depletion. Air pollution is an important pollution problem. Increasing population growth creates more of this pollutant whose major source is burning of fossil fuel‚ larger number of vehicles and industrial production. As a result

APES – Global Warming Evidence “Global Warming Is Rapidly Raising Sea Levels‚ Studies Warn” –National Geographic (March 2006) As we are well aware‚ the earth is undergoing changes each and every day. One change that has silently been increasing over the last half century is the melting of large ice sheets and glaciers‚ leading to a rise in sea levels that has never been seen before; by the end of the century the seas may be one meter higher than they are today. Many are pointing at global warning

concentrations produced by human activity. While there are arguments in favour of natural cause of the global warming‚ I think on balance that the arguments against carry greater weight. A common skeptic argument is that climate has changed naturally in the past‚ long before SUVs and coal-fired power plants‚ and this somehow tells us that humans can’t be the main cause of the current global warming. Peer-reviewed research and simple logic show this is not the case. There are a number of different
