Lukas Zebrauskas 09/21/10 Chemistry & Environment Global Warming Outline Thesis: How is global warming and greenhouse gases affecting our environment? I. What is global warming? A.) 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. II. What is the

GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON ANTARCTICA The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem‚ by damaging the polar caps‚ and harming all of Antarctica ecosystem. Global warming started to occur around the late 19th century‚ and it continues to proceed to increase as time goes on. The main gases to blame for global warming are Carbon dioxide‚ Methane‚ and Nitrous Oxide. These gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere causing the temperature to rise‚ this process is also

to live and breathe. Global deforestation is growing at an alarming rate -- every year‚ 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed. Anthropogenic factors that can affect forests include logging‚ urban sprawl‚ human-caused forest fires‚ acid rain‚ invasive species‚ and the practice of shifting cultivation. If forests disappear‚ the amount of Carbon Dioxide in air will increase‚ resulting in increase of temperature of earth. Furthermore‚ it would cause global warming as the Carbon Dioxide

Deforestation Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but large areas the size of Panama are lost each year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Reasons for Deforestation Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or people’s need to provide for their families

It was in this setting that the Nations of the world gathered to discuss the issue of global warming in late November of 1997 (Christianson 254). From the beginning the United States was viewed as the villain. Undersecretary of State‚ Stuart Eizenstat‚ and head of the U.S. delegation‚ let it be known that no amount of pressure could force the

"Facts about Global Warming You Should Know" By: Nathalie Fiset Global warming is not a 20th century phenomenon. It has‚ in fact‚ occurred in the past more than once‚ along with periods of extreme cold known as the ice ages. With so much written and reported about global warming‚ sometimes it’s difficult to detect which is fact and which is just part of scientific scare tactics. Here are some facts about global warming that might help: What exactly is global warming? Global warming is basically

It means the list of endangered species only expanding‚ And all habitats anticipate the future taking a crash landing. The ice caps continue to melt from global warming‚ But we don’t seem to notice the early warning. This causing the sea levels to exceptionally increase‚ Then the flooding of cities and a disturbance of the peace. The average American throws out 4 ½ pounds of trash a day. We need to cut down

Problem-Solution Outline I. Introduction A. Without the atmosphere to create a green house-type effect‚ the average temperature on Earth would be just 5 degrees Fahrenheit. B. The green house effect keeps our atmosphere warm because it traps the green house gases in. C. Global warming is major problem and solar cars are a way to help fix it. II. Section 1- Problem (3-4 paragraphs) A. Global warming is a major problem. 1. Description (a.) Global warming is harming the earth by putting

In the last few decades the carbon emission increased tremendously due to heavy use of technology. Consumerism is buying more things for self-satisfaction. Consumerism has both advantages and disadvantages. Consumption could be advantageous to businesses if it is used in limited ways‚ but consumption
