The Future Effects of Global Warming Introduction After several years of scientific debate over the existence of global warming‚ most experts now agree that global warming exists and may have devastating effects on Earth’s climate. Global warming will influence and/or cause heat waves‚ polar ice caps melting‚ flooding‚ extinction‚ and droughts. Social‚ Historic and Intellectual Context of the Study The existing research literature suggests that global warming is going to greatly affect the

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction? Is global warming taking place? Are humans the cause of it? Lately these questions are being asked more and more by people who believe that the earth’s climate is growing steadily warmer at an alarming rate. Our planet’s ever-changing climate has captured the attention of those who would have us agree that without drastic modification of our behavior‚ we will ultimately destroy the world in which we live. However‚ these activists are using scare tactics based upon

PLAN Ways to Slow Down Ozone Depletion Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect‚ in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap solar radiation close to the planet’s surface instead of allowing it to dissipate into space. Both natural and human-made conditions can contribute to global warming‚ but human beings can do several things to reduce the effects. The biggest cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide released when fossil

[pic] Introduction Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. In principle‚ global warming is neutral as to the period or causes‚ but in both common and scientific usage the term generally refers to recent warming and implies a human influence. Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic

Global warming Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat

increased by about 4.5 degrees (Guggenheim). This may not seem like a lot‚ but on a global scale‚ it can have a huge impact. Global Warming is a serious problem‚ and it should be taken very seriously. Unless we take action now‚ we will have major consequences to deal with later on. These include‚ but are certainly not limited to‚ extreme weather‚ a decline in polar life‚ and effects on human health. It seems like Global Warming has become such a political issue that people tend to take a side based solely
