January 14‚ 2013 Gases such as carbon dioxide‚ methane and nitrous oxide are sometimes called Greenhouse gases‚ are increasing into our atmosphere causing climate changes. Scientists call this climate change – Global Warming. Sea levels are rising‚ glaciers are melting‚ and storms are raging fiercer than ever before such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. As the Earth spins each day‚ the new heat swirls with it‚ picking up moisture over the oceans‚ rising here‚ settling

Global Warming Global warming is the rise in temperature (warming) of the entire planet and oceans. The rising temperatures affect our climates in such that droughts will happen more often‚ deserts will become bigger‚ heat waves will happen more often‚ and snow will lessen in areas. Also storms and hurricanes will happen more often. Global warming happens very slowly‚ the environment goes through natural periods of cooling and warming. Global warming causes changes in the

Global Warming: Origins‚ Effects‚ and Potential Solutions Since the dawn of the 19th century‚ civilization has been very dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases‚ especially carbon dioxide‚ coming from these emissions plague our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat and prevent warmer air from escaping our atmosphere‚ which causes a containment of excess heat‚ thus causing a climate change; in this case‚ a rise in temperature. There has been large amounts of debate on whom

expressing concerns about changes in the overall climate of the earth. Some believe that a dramatically dangerous warming is taking place in the overall global climate‚ a problem that is referred to as "global warming." This paper will attempt to explore this very issue‚ its causes‚ dangerous and somehow deadly effects and how we could deal with this global crisis. Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders. Warnings from the scientific community are becoming

Semester 1 UU100 Assignment 2 Name: Student ID: Year: 2013 Global warming This essay is based on Global warming and the cause and effect of it. “Global warming I define as an increase in the earth ’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. Increase in the global average surface temperature resulting from enhancement of the greenhouse effect‚ primarily by air pollution” (Merriam-Webster

Global warming Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth ’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century‚ and its projected continuation. The average global air temperature near the Earth ’s surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very

Global warming You have probably heard about the phrase “global warming” hundreds of times. But what exactly does global warming means? Global warming is not about having a hot day or week or month in one part of the world. It has to do with the average temperature worldwide. Simply put‚ global warming is the unusual rapid increase in earth’s average temperature worldwide. The warming of the earth began in the mid 1800’s. In the beginning it was small and very slow but then in the 1980’s the

GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE Uzochukwu Chekwube BSC2011 Professor Bloodworth July 21‚ 2014 Global warming is still a debate between us. Most people do not believe that our world is warming up‚ they believe the climate is in a cycle‚ and that humans do not contribute to the warming of our climate. Research supports the fact that Global warming is a huge factor in climate change and that
