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

Introduction: Global warming is gradually becoming a serious concern to our environment and our planet as a whole. Nature is now showing signs with unique changes affecting our lives. When the surface temperature of the earth heats up human beings are not the only ones who feel the changes and also react in some way. Animals and sometimes even plants will also be affected by the global warming. What is global warming: An overall warming of the planet based on average temperature over the entire

GLOBAL WARMING Name Instructor Course Date Global Warming Climate change caused by global warming is the hugest environmental crisis the world is facing. Global warming is termed as a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ a change which has been proven to change the earth’s climate completely. Looking at the data presented by scientists‚ it is evident that the earth is warming. It is the current discussed factor addressed across

Global Warming Throughout the years‚ many topics have been brought to attention and have caused many controversial discussions. Being one of them‚ Global Warming has been the number one controversial topic for decades. One main subtopic talked about has been the different types of “effects” Global Warming has caused on this Earth to go through. One effect is Greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases can stay in the atmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years

Global Warming Global warming is the most pressing challenge facing the world today. After examining what global warming is‚ I have realized that human activities have a large impact on how the earth’s surface temperature is due to the greenhouse effect. I also have realized the impact that global warming can have on the earth. We as human’s need to do what we can to lower our contributions to the global warming before it is too late. Global warming is the increase of earth’s average

Global Warming Essay July 11‚ 2011 Sci 256 Many people today believe that global warming is still nothing but a theory discussed by some weird scientists because they just want to scare us. But in reality there are many climate issues happening and people are very confused on what is really happening. Some theories of global warming are the “Green house effect”‚ changing sun‚ ash from volcano and natural variations in climate such as El Niño. Most scientists agree that global warming is caused

Global Warming by James Inmon Global Warming is the effect on climate change brought about by human impact on the environment. Just one degree increase in the average global temperature could have a big impact on our world. Three of the more common sources of Global Warming are; the burning of fossil fuels‚ industrial pollution‚ and urban sprawl. Fossil Fuels are carbon based compounds like coal and gasoline. When these fuel sources are burned‚ they release carbon dioxide and other air pollution

Global Warming Causes Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket‚ trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal‚ oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations‚ carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere. Certain waste management and agricultural practices aggravate the problem by releasing other potent global warming gases‚ such as methane and nitrous

Global warming I N T R O D U C T I O N It’s happening everyday and right now. It is becoming a worldwide problem. This is global warming. Global warming is a serious problem that affects our planet. Is it a natural cause or man-made? It may be natural. Many people point to the melting ice caps as proof that humans are the ones that are causing global warming‚ but what they may not know is that the polar ice caps on Mars are melting too. Humans may not be the main cause of global warming but they
