Economics of Global warming Global warming has been on the rise for several years now‚ becoming one of the most modern issues in society. It is pretty evident that it cannot be ignored. Global warming is when the earth heats up resulting in a temperature rise; it happens when greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere and causes trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Resulting in several social and political effects like higher sea levels

Today’s modern world has led to the biggest problem faced in history: global warming. Today’s fast-growing industrialized economy is causing serious environmental issues such as extinction of much of the life on this planet‚ temperature changes‚ and sea level rise. One simple way of reducing the effects of global warming is changing our way of living. One benefit of reducing the industrialized economy of today is that natural habitats will last longer.

Effects of global warming. Global warming refers to the rise in the average temperature of oceans and Earth’s atmosphere since the 19th century and its continuation till today (Wikipedia‚ 2012). Since the 20th century‚ the earth’s surface’s temperature has increased 0.8°C (Wikipedia‚ 2012). The increase seems diminutive‚ but such unsubstantial change has exerted a devastating influence on the whole planet.

2005). It has been controversial if carbon dioxide is causing to rise the world’s temperature with long-term destruction to the environment or not. This research involves trying to find out if in fact global warming is happening or not. There are climate research findings which state global warming is happening‚ and there are also findings that this man-caused climate change is not evident. To the layman person‚ the conflicted issue can be rather confusing. The goal of this paper is to show which

The causes of global warming are broadly divided into two categories - natural causes and anthropogenic (man-made) causes. Natural Causes Natural causes of global warming include the release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands‚ climate change‚ volcanoes etc. Methane‚ a greenhouse gas which traps the heat within the earth’s atmosphere‚ is let out in large quantities in the arctic tundra and wetlands. In case of volcanoes‚ when a volcano erupts‚ tons of ash is let out into the atmosphere
