Global Warming: Who’s to Blame? It seems that a single week does not go by without hearing something about global warming. It has been all over the news for as long as I can remember. Because of this media bombardment‚ I would be surprised to find a single person in America that does not know about global warming. I’ll also go so far as to assume that the vast majority of the people you ask will tell you that not only is global warming occurring‚ but humans are to blame. In fact

What is the main cause of global warming? In the last century‚ the sea level has rose for about 17 centimetres. The rate in the last decade is however‚ nearly the double of last century. Major global surface reconstructions also showed that the Earth has warmed since 1880 and it’s still going on. Oceans are also warming up‚ due to the heat. Not only that‚ the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting‚ glaciers are disappearing and extreme weather events have occurred more often. All these

Global warming W hat is global warming? The changes in the surface air temperature‚ referred to as the global temperature‚ brought about by the enhanced greenhouse effect‚ which is induced by emissions of greenhouse gases into the air. How Global Warming Works Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fossil fuels (coal‚ oil‚ natural gas) Example of the Greenhouse Effect The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield. This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield

challenges earth is facing is Global Warming. The global warming hypothesis orginated in 1896 when Svante Arrhenius‚ a Swedish chemist‚ developed the theory that carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels would cause global temperatures to rise by trapping excess heat in the earth’s atmosphere. The term “Global Warming” signifies the temperature of the earth’s neon- surface air. The change in climatic conditions is one of the impacts of global warming. It is directly impacting on rising

Global Warming “The Earth ’s climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650‚000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat‚ with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7‚000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.” (NASA.GOV) Going through the history in our planet’s

GLOBAL WARMING Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. The main factors resulting in the warming of the earth is the emission of CO2. CO2 damages the ozone layer and comes from several sources. The most problematic comes from the burning of fossil fuels from electric power stations. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Another cause is the burning of gasoline for transportation. It continues to increase because
