Global Warming: Causes and Effects The term “global warming” is often used synonymously with the term climate change‚ but the two terms have distinct meanings. Global Warming is a gradual increase in the earth’s temperature. Novdia explained that “global warming refers to the documented historical warming of the Earth’s surface‚ based upon worldwide temperature records that have been maintained by humans since the 1880s” (Global Warming). Global warming is a major crisis in the world today. Three

SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? The greenhouse effect‚ by definition is the process by which the atmosphere is assailed by an excess of carbon dioxide. What happens is that carbon dioxide released in large quantities by industry collects at the lower part of the earth ’s upper atmosphere. Because of this‚ part of the heat that is reflected from the earth is absorbed by this carbon dioxide and returned to the earth as heat. This shield‚ so to speak‚ lets the sunlight through

children and our grandchildren. Cause and Effects of Global Warming Global warming it’s the increase in the average temperature on Earth. Temperature on earth is controlled by the oceans‚ the average temperature is fifty-five degrees and if it were to increase or decrease in either direction than it would be the point of no return. The increase of temperature is caused by the release of CO2 (carbon-dioxide)‚ the methane which both act as greenhouse gases‚ and the melting of the glaciers are a

The Effect of Volcanic Eruptions on Climate Introduction Recently there has been a lot of research in the field of climate change‚ and much of it is focused on anthropogenic affects on climate. However‚ there has also been a great deal of research focused on natural Earth processes and how they affect the climate (Robock 2000). One natural process which significantly impacts climate is volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions affect the climate of the earth in many ways (Zielinski et al 1997). Volcanic

Greenhouse gas Greenhouse effect schematic showing energy flows between space‚ the atmosphere‚ and Earth’s surface. Energy exchanges are expressed in watts per square meter (W/m2). A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.[1] The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚

Global Warming and the Effect on the Environment SCI 207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: William Lees April 8‚ 2013 Global Warming is a serious issue today. The effect it has on this earth is a concern for scientist around the world. Global warming is rising the average temperature of the world. The temperature has risen about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit from the mid 1800’s to now. And scientists have forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next

Although global temperatures fluctuate naturally‚ over the past 50 years the average global temperature has augmented at its fastest rate in recorded history. The emission of greenhouse gasses such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and Methane (CH4) render the Earth’s atmosphere more transparent to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted and reflected from the planet’s surface (NASA Earth Observatory). With this extra heat trapped within the atmosphere‚ the temperature

Those choices that we make have a negative effect on other people; people are connected to others in many unique ways. We make choices without thinking too much of the consequences. By the time the full impact of our choice hits us in the future‚ it is too late for regrets.
