Global Warming is causing the decrease of polar bear populations due to the loss of habitat‚ scarcity of food‚ and higher mortality rates in pups. There are nineteen subpopulations of polar bears in the world. They are called "subpopulations" because they are not genetically distinct to one area but generally inhabit nineteen different areas across the circumpolar arctic. A study showed that between 2001 and 2010 there was a 40% population decrease of these bears and according to a U.S Geological

Cyclical global weather patterns and the increased usage of carbon emissions have lead to an increase of global warming. These higher temperature recordings are due to normal weather patterns according to scientists. Although there is an increase in global carbon emissions‚ the fact that climate measurements have been increasing since the beginning of the 20th century‚ long before society began using fossil fuels as an energy source in large amounts‚ illustrates the idea that “global warming” is actually

scientific experts assembled by the United Nations‚ released a frightening report on the potential consequences of the climate phenomenon known as global warming. The panel found that the 1990s had been the warmest decade on record and predicted that temperatures will rise anywhere from 2.5 to 10.4 degrees around the world over the next century‚ causing changes to global weather patterns. Indeed‚ unusual and frequently destructive weather had been occurring around the globe: twenty-seven inches of rain in

Antarctica global warming has become a burning issue of the present time. Global warming in Antarctica will pose a serious threat to the rise in water level. Hence‚ Antarctica global warming has become a great concern for the scientists and researchers. As most of this continent is covered by ice‚ the impact of global warming is more acutely felt here. With the increase in the number of automobiles‚ air pollution has been on the increase in the last 20 years. This is one of the major causes of global warming

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to help make a difference in stopping Global Warming. Introduction I. Open With Impact: If all the Ice on Greenland melted‚ the sea levels would rise approximately 28feet. But did you know that the highest point in Florida is 35 feet? Unfortunately for most of us‚ the higher points in Florida are very far to the north. Meaning we’d all be under water. II. Thesis: Global warming has the potential to affect every person on this planet. III. Connect: It’s up

Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. It is‚ in fact‚ the increase in the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. It is one of the most current and widely discussed factors. It has far-reaching impact on biodiversity and climatic conditions of the planet. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on rising sea levels‚ the melting of ice caps and significant worldwide climate changes. In short‚ global warming represents a fundamental
