What is global warming? Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth ’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global warming is the world’s main problem. A graph was shown during the lecture pertaining to the ten hottest years ever-measured

Global warming what is it? Global warming refers to an average increase in theEarth’s temperature‚ which in turn causes changes in climate. So what’s the big deal you ask? Well the big deal is‚ if temperatures rise above normal levels for a few days‚ it’s no big deal‚ the Earth will stay more or less the same‚ but if temperatures continue to rise over a longer period of time‚ then the Earth may experience some serious problems! What causes global warming? The Earth’s atmosphere contains gases that

strategies that have been suggested to reduce global warming. To what extent do you think they are successful? Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C. It is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil

the hysteria‚ all of the fear‚ all of the phony science‚ could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it‚” said James M. Inhofe a member of the U.S. Senate. Could this be the true? Many facts behind the controversial issue of global warming prove this statement to correct.

Global warming is an increasing problem around the world. All people and some animals add to this problem in their daily lives. California is the twelfth largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world. California is the first state in the United States to set laws that will reduce the amounts of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere. (Plan to Cut) Many people are for this law‚ while many are against it. There are many thoughts as to why global warming is occurring. Some scientists

People are all carrying an umbrella when they step out of house as they cannot stand the blistering heat. This is caused by global warming‚ isn’t it? Global warming has resulted many negative effects and they are mainly caused by human activities. Hence‚ we‚ humans should stop global warming. Human activities produces 75% of annual carbon dioxide emissions. Firstly ‚the greenhouse gases has caused temperatures to increase. Since 1861‚ the average temperature has increased by 0.6 Degree Celsius

In the mid-twentieth century the earth’s average temperature is increasing due to the fact that global warming is taking place. Global surface temperature has increased about a degree in the past century. The progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect is responsible for changes in global climate patterns. An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures is widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse
