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

Help prevent Global Warming There is no doubt the Planet Earth is getting warmer and warmer by the day. Global warming is the rising temperature on the planet Earth’s surface and it’s oceans. Global warming effects everything including our ocean temperature and the amount of precipitation. There are many things we could do to stop global warming. If more and more people started to recycle that would be a great start. You can even turn this into a fun family activity. Another one is if people

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 gas will trap the heat radiated by the earth‚ resulting in the melting of glaciers. People who depend on forests for their livelihoods are struggling to survive. Many precious species face

this could be the description of our not too distant future. For years‚ scientists have been studying Earth’s rising temperatures‚ otherwise known as global warming‚ and warning the public of the consequences to come if mankind does not react and respond quickly to this issue. Even so‚ we choose to turn a blind eye to the problem of global warming‚ taking little or no action to make a difference. The result? A huge and critical one-degree rise in earth’s temperatures over the past year! According to

change is an entirely natural phenomenon‚ nothing to do with the burning of fossil fuels" - David Bellamy Global warming can be defined as the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and the question over what has been causing this increase in temperature has sparked many debates throughout the world. There is certainly evidence to suggest that global warming is a real issue‚ not just an urban myth. Since pre-industrial times (i.e. before the industrial revolution in the late

Global Warming is caused by many things. The causes are split up into two groups‚ man-made or anthropogenic causes‚ and natural causes. Natural Causes Natural causes are causes created by nature. One natural cause is a release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands. Methane is a greenhouse gas. A greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Another natural cause is that the earth goes through a cycle of climate change. This climate change usually lasts about 40‚000 years

will cease to exist in about 10-15 years. Costal areas will flood‚ the air will be tainted with carbon dioxide‚ all volcanoes will erupt‚ and mountains will slide into oceans. We are to blame for this terrible disaster‚ humans have created global warming! You can minimally increase the amount of time we have by taking drastic measures that will inconvenience our day to day routine which we are so dearly accustomed to. I know that many of you are unconvinced that humans are the cause of this global

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
