Global warming Global warming is the most concerning problem of our time. Global warming is the process in which the Earth’s temperature starts increasing; it is caused mostly by human activities‚ especially industrialization‚ and pollution that are killing the Earth by emitting greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. But this reason is not the only reason why we have to stop global warming. Firstly‚ IPCC projects that the world’s temperatures will rise 1.8-6 degrees Celsius by the century’s end –

Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. It is already affecting the world as we know it; endangering polar bears‚ shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere‚ hence increasing the average temperature of the earth. Scientists have stated that the average temperature will likely rise a further 1 to 6 °C still during the 21st century. Global warming is causing numerous problems

Lukas Zebrauskas 09/21/10 Chemistry & Environment Global Warming Outline Thesis: How is global warming and greenhouse gases affecting our environment? I. What is global warming? A.) Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. II. What is the

Anthropogenic factors that can affect forests include logging‚ urban sprawl‚ human-caused forest fires‚ acid rain‚ invasive species‚ and the practice of shifting cultivation. If forests disappear‚ the amount of Carbon Dioxide in air will increase‚ resulting in increase of temperature of earth. Furthermore‚ it would cause global warming as the Carbon Dioxide

Deforestation Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but large areas the size of Panama are lost each year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Reasons for Deforestation Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or people’s need to provide for their families
