GLOBAL WARMING What Is Global Warming? Global warming is the warming of the earth through carbon dioxide (CO2) being pumped into the atmosphere from tailpipes and smokestacks. Then the gases trap heat like the glass in a greenhouse. This is where the term the “greenhouse effect” came from. What’s Happening Scientists say that the barrier insulating the continental ice caps is melting. “The impacts of warming temperatures in Antarctica

consequences. But what they do not understand is that global warming will be the most benevolent thing human beings will ever grant the earth. Global warming will bring a copious amount of positives‚ which include saving money‚ eradicating animals that threaten the human species and saving the world from hunger. Tree huggers need to stop thinking so much about the animals that will be affected. For example‚ the penguins‚ which will die off with global warming. They to me are just black and white bird things

Global Warming Global warming is an important issue in our society that a lot of people should be interested in as it will affect our lives for the rest of our life. How many of you already feel very warm in this room/hall? What if I tell you that in another 40 years‚ the temperature outside will be so hot it will feel like a baking bun inside an oven. This will be the exact situation that we’ll be in if we don’t stop it. Global warming literally means that the Earth’s average temperature is

Controversy over Global Warming One of the largest argued topics in our world today is over global warming. People argue that is real‚ and others argue that it is fake. The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem we live in by damaging glaciers and weather patterns. Humans contribute to global warming yet non-believers will think otherwise. Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) most

Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ which started to increase in the late 19th century and is projected to keep going up. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s average surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that most of it is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse

Sheretta Williams Environmental Science July 18‚ 2013 Global Warming Global warming is the one of the biggest challenges that the planet may be facing today. Global warming is the increase of the temperature in the earth’s surface air. It tends to be one of the greatest factors that are being discussed. There are many trends that demonstrate global warming has a great impact on the rise of the sea levels‚ ice caps that are melting and the changes in the climates worldwide. Because of this

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes‚ "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas

Some of the related problems due to global warming are death to heat waves and other climate changes‚ and infectious diseases. With the atmosphere temperature rising‚ we all will be at risk. The climate not only harms our bodies‚ it can also harm our crops and waters. Floods and droughts associated with global warming can undermine our health in other

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
