why I am interested about this topic. Definition of Climate Change According to the Oxford English Dictionary‚ a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards‚ attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”. Our Earth is warming. Over the past century‚ Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11.5°F rising up predicted over the next hundred years. Small

GLOBAL WARMING-CAUSES AND EFFECTS Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚ a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Even though it is an ongoing debate‚ it is proved by the scientists that the planet is warming. . Global warming Causes The causes are many of which the main culprit is the increase in the greenhouse gases that is produced by burning fossil fuel and deforestation

Global Warming: We Are All Guilty For every person with an opinion‚ there is another person who believes the opposite. This goes for almost any public affair in today’s society‚ it is a part of human nature to disagree and argue. Considering this‚ it is no surprise that there are many differing opinions on the numerous different parts of one of today’s biggest issues: global warming. In most cases it is perfectly fine to have differing opinions on issues. However‚ this is becoming too big of

Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect. What is greenhouse effect? It is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries etc cause GLOBAL WARMING. The effects of Global Warming is very dangerous for

Global Warming One of the most challenging existing environmental problems is global warming. This refers to the change in climate that leads to an increase in the average atmosphere temperatures. Global warming is caused by a number of factors‚ but it is primarily associated with human action and more especially the excessive release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. An example of these human activities leading to increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere include burning

lGlobalwarming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. Since 1971‚ 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans. Despite the oceans’ dominant role in energy storage‚ the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth’s surface. Since the early 20th century‚ the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980

Brittany Morico Period 2 Global Warming Global warming’s scientific definition is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation‚ which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect. One of the main cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide along with other air pollutions that have been collecting in the atmosphere. Automobiles
