------------------------------------------------- Global warming 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 (1.4 °F)‚ with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing

Global Warming Global warming is a very big problem. It causes many animals to live in an unsafe environment. The animals loose their homes and environments that they have lived in and thrived in for so long. It affects everyone in many ways. Almost always it is bad. Global warming is when the earth heats up because of the rays of the sun and other things. Many of the things that cause global warming include greenhouse gasses‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane. Many things that create

Everybody these days seems to think they know all about global warming effects on humans. If you ask anyone on the street‚ they will likely say that emissions from vehicles and factories cause a greenhouse effect‚ which results in a warming of the earth’s atmosphere. Hence the term global warming. What most people may not realize is that it doesn’t take much of a rise in temperature to cause catastrophic changes in the environment. Scientists have estimated that the total amount of sea ice has

Global Warming The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency definition of global warming: “Global warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface and in the troposphere‚ which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes‚ both natural and human induced. In common usage‚ “global warming” often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human

Global Warming-Killing Earth’s Age Global Warming is defined as the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s Atmosphere. Since 1970‚ most of the increase has been in the oceans‚ which is about 90%. Global Warming also refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth’s surface. Since the year 2000‚ the surface temperature has increased about 0.8 0 C‚ which is about two third of the increase‚ when compared to 1980. Earth is getting warmer and warmer when days pass by.

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction American Intercontinental University January 13‚ 2013 Unit 1 Individual Project Abstract In this paper I will be discussing the advantages on why we should support the protection of Global Warming. Now yes there are disadvantages as well. But the only ones that are suffering are the big industrial companies and commercial auto transport makers. If you step back and look at the big picture it really will out weight all outs.

Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. This essay will examine the reasons why global warming is occurring and discuss some possible solutions. The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into

A political speech We are gathered here today to discuss the near future of the world. We are joined here today to save that planet‚ we call home. A planet in a big crisis. A crisis which some people call global warming. A crisis so big that no human being will survive‚ if this global warming goes on. If this global warming goes on‚ will the world we know today‚ be another tomorrow. But what if that is some kind of rubbish the climate experts and the politicians try to make us‚ so called “normal”
