1. Define "global warming." Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and the ocean due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming. Include a list of some of the gases that are believed to contribute to global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ mainly from industries has increased significantly. The atmospheric concentration of this gas and its

Global warming is causing species to respond to a warmer climate by moving to cooler locations. Most animals live in areas with very specific climate conditions‚ such as temperature that enable them to thrive. Any change in the climate of an area can affect the animals living there‚ as well as the makeup of the entire ecosystem‚ global warming is causing these issues. Many animals are harmed and/or killed by global warming. Water temperature is affecting many animals‚ which is causing population

Proposal Through the research I’ve done on global warming it appears to me that there is no problem with it at all‚ and that there is nothing to worry about. We need to accept that fact that global warming is actually helping the human race in many different ways. For examples the environment is warming up‚ the ocean levels are rising‚ and the increase of carbon dioxide are all benefits to the environment and economy. It’s almost as if global warming is turning the earth into a tropical paradise

many of which we are just discovering today. The most important problem started by the industrial revolution is a significant increase in Carbon Dioxide emission‚ which leads to global warming. Globe warming brings about various natural disasters. The most significant disaster is the rising of sea level. Global warming increases the melting of the polar ice caps‚ which brings about a rise in sea level. As sea level rises‚ islands near sea level sink into the sea. Residents on these islands lose

SUMMARY Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. It happens when high level of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are trapped in the atmosphere causing a rise in temperature. Although the idea that global warming is similar to climate change‚ there are still some distinctions with these two concepts. As mentioned earlier‚ there is a shift from low temperature to high temperature caused mainly by gases when we speak of global warming. While

My thesis statement was a multiple sentence statement. It included linking Global Warming to relatable everyday situations‚ and the author trying to inform others about global warming. My writing didn’t really establish authority as‚ my response wasn’t really an analysis. This paper was more so a summary of the article. Although‚ I do have some statements that explain the quotes I used out of the article. My position on the first response paper is to show how the author tries to make this controversial

Effect and Global Warming Recently‚ global warming has moved to a serious scientific issue. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth‚ the law of physics say that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere‚ where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while‚ warming the surface.1 The molecules are kind of like glass in a greenhouse which is why this process of warming is called

Sylvester 16 Feb 2011 The Causes and Effects of Global Warming If you’re accustomed to thinking of global warming as something happening out there--say‚ in the Artic or the Antarctic or high in the atmosphere--you may be in for a shock.(Silvestro.) Global warming is the observed and projected increases in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans (wijkman). Today‚ this is one of our most damaging problems (Global). Global warming is caused by the buildup of atmospheric gases and

Impacts of Global Warming in the UK Current data for climate change suggest that global warming is taking place due to the enhanced greenhouse effect. If global temperatures continue to rise it will present a number of challenges in the future. Different countries will experience global warming differently depending on their location and level of development‚ but even within a country‚ there will be ‘winners and losers’. For example‚ in the UK Global Warming is good news for coastal resorts‚ especially
