GLOBAL WARMING AND ITS ADVANTAGES It is apparent that this is an important environmental issue that most people believe is not occurring. With almost all bad situations it is very frequently that we have something positive come out of it. Global Warming is in most cases always viewed as a problem; one that is horrifying‚ going to end up flooding the world and in turn end it as well. After doing research on the subject matter I have come to realize a more positive outlook on what everyone has a

In this picture ‚ you can take conclusion that the ice is melting rapidly and thus the water level is rising at a fast speed. This is all happening from global warming. This can cuase many animals to die or get extinct‚ also the people that are living nearby can also be affected by this. Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels and forests‚ we lately have been doing this a lot. The polar bear is saying “ha ha youre eliminated!” to the other polar bear because there playing musical ice chairs

What is Global Warming? Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter‚ disasters like hurricanes‚ droughts and floods are getting more frequent. Over the last 100 years‚ the average temperature of the air near the Earth´s surface has risen a little less than 1° Celsius (0.74 ± 0.18°C‚ or 1.3 ± 0.32° Fahrenheit). Does not seem all that much? It is responsible for the conspicuous increase in storms‚ floods and raging forest fires

Thesis Statement Global Warming is the steady increase in earth ’s average temperature. Global warming is real and mainly caused by the human race burning fossil fuels for energy. Studies have shown environmental changes on a scale unprecedented in human history as we know it‚ including melting of polar ice caps‚ increased desertification‚ rising sea

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 1700s) global average temperatures have risen by about 0.7°C

As global warming increases‚ temperatures become higher; mostly in the Earth’s oceans‚ which can have devastating effects on the Earth’s ecosystem (Weart‚ 2004). Global warming in when “the Earth’s atmosphere is overloaded with heat-trapping carbon dioxide‚ which threatens large-scale disruptions in climate with disastrous consequences”

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

What is Global Warming? What is Global Warming? Lesson Objectives: • To understand what is meant by ‘global warming’ • To know what we think causes global warming. • To begin to understand how our activities can cause climate change. The sun sends out energy as heat and light. This energy comes to our earth during the day time. Some of the sun’s rays get ‘trapped’ in the atmosphere. Some of them get reflected back into space. The ones which get through the atmosphere warm the earth up. All
