GLOBAL WARMING AND GREEN HOUSE EFFECT – HOW CAN WE STOP THEM ? The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation whereas Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect. Burning fossil fuels raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ and it is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. We can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels‚ which in turn reduces

have very different views on the issues of global warming. Botkin contends that the scare tactics used by Gore and many similar thinking environmentalists are simply a desperate means intended to alarm the public and force governments to take actions that are unnecessary and misdirected. Gore alleges that immediate action is necessary to avoid increases in the plant and animal extinction and the spread of diseases. Botkin admits that global warming is a fact‚ but as a scientist‚ he cannot agree on

What Global Warming Impacts the World Nowadays‚ we are concerned with the increasing temperature nowadays‚ which has a great effect on the earth. When it becomes hotter‚ the most evident change we can see is in sea level. Icebergs all over the world are melting and change from ice to water‚ which has larger volume. As a result‚ more space has to be occupied to contain water instead of icebergs‚ and sea level increases. Many beaches are getting smaller‚ and some islands are even

Is anyone concerned with what our world will be like in years to come? With the effects global warming is causing to the environment‚ it’s hard to say that our planet Earth will be the way it is today. Because we are concerned with our environment and the effects global warming is having on our environment‚ we should all be inclined to do what we can to help improve the future of our planet Earth. Through extensive research‚ I have learned what is in store for our environment along with simple things

Although the Earth goes through natural hot and cold phases‚ environmentalists and climate scientists have proven that within the past 50 years‚ the Earth’s overall temperature has increased at an accelerated rate that does not coincide with historical hot phases‚ and based on scientific evidence‚ determined that human activity is directly responsible for this heating phase (Rubenstein‚ 2012).

The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases trap and heat energy from the sun and prevent it from escaping Earth’s atmosphere and entering space.” (EPA‚ 2012) Atmospheric pollutions are caused by gasses and solid particulates released into the atmosphere.

Global warming is leading the world into a point of no return. Humans have been modifying the environment exponentially‚ and since the industrial revolution the “carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by about 35%” (Le Treut 97). Who is the responsible of these changes‚ how do we know they are true‚ and how does these changes would impact our living in the future? This carbon dioxide increase is known to be mainly caused by the deforestation of forests‚ and the combustion of fossil fuels
