In the mid-twentieth century the earth’s average temperature is increasing due to the fact that global warming is taking place. Global surface temperature has increased about a degree in the past century. The progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect is responsible for changes in global climate patterns. An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures is widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse

GLOBAL WARMING What Is Global Warming? Global warming is the warming of the earth through carbon dioxide (CO2) being pumped into the atmosphere from tailpipes and smokestacks. Then the gases trap heat like the glass in a greenhouse. This is where the term the “greenhouse effect” came from. What’s Happening Scientists say that the barrier insulating the continental ice caps is melting. “The impacts of warming temperatures in Antarctica

Earth are mostly caused by factories and cars. A gas called CO2 that is emitted from factories and cars is causing the ozone layer to disappear. The ozone layer protects us from the dangerous rays of the Sun‚ but once the ozone layer is gone‚ the rate of getting skin cancer will increase. Today the chances of getting skin cancer which is caused by the disappearing of the ozone layer is %65-%90. We would be able to lower the rate of chances of skin cancer if we change our ways on using factories and

Abstract. In a world that is becoming increasingly industrialized‚ and in a world where more people can afford to drive cars‚ air pollution is becoming a very big problem. While there are those who would debate whether or not our air pollution is causing global warming‚ versus the earth ’s natural warming process since the last Ice Age. Definitive proof may or may not be found anytime soon. What is certain‚ however‚ is that there are confirmed problems caused by air pollution. These problems include

ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEMS. Nowadays one of the biggest problems which all human beings are facing is an environmental problem. Animals are dying and people are worried about forests destruction and ozone depletion. A lot of people come with new ideas to stop environmental pollutions everyday. However‚ none of those ideas have worked out yet and the environment is becoming worse and worse every day. I have some suggestions that I believe would be useful in this situation. The
