Global warming is result of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap radiation from sun and hold them from being released back into space. This causes rise in temperature at few places on earth. It is not much noticeable in western part of earth but in eastern parts like North Pole‚ Alaska and others slight increase in temperatures makes a huge difference. Scientists believe that if current situation continues many kinds of changes will take place which can be either beneficial or harmful

WAYS TO REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING Global Warming refers to the gradual increase in the Earth’s temperature as a result of the growing concentration of human induced green house gases which are carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons and hydro fluorocarbon in our atmosphere. Global warming can be caused by the use of fossil fuels‚ and industrial or agricultural processes. Man-made emissions are adding to the amount of carbon dioxide already being naturally released. These

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and its oceans. The idea of Global warning has been around for years and it is believed that human actions is the catalyst to the rise of the temperature of the earth but recent studies and inaccurate information have caused controversy. Scientist don’t agree whether global warming is real or not‚ every day we are shown new evidence of that contradicts another evidence. Some scientist

Part II In addition to the discussion on Antarctica and the Arctic‚ three statements are being challenged. The first statement that is being challenged concerns the worldwide temperature that “has apparently increased by less than a degree (0.9) Fahrenheit” which took place before World War II” (Stott). We are further updated that there was a “ride in temperature

1. Define "global warming." Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and the ocean due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming. Include a list of some of the gases that are believed to contribute to global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ mainly from industries has increased significantly. The atmospheric concentration of this gas and its

that may affect global warming‚ world leaders must consider key issues such as greenhouse gas emissions‚ carbon dioxide emissions and changes in surface temperature because are these issues that have the most prominent impact on global warming. Greenhouse gas emissions are important to consider when making global warming policies. Greenhouse gases are the cause of the greenhouse effect on our earth‚ which leads to the warming of the earth’s surface over time‚ also know as global warming. Scientists are

Global Warming is an important ecological issue and has many negative effects upon our environment. However‚ for all the attention that this issue does not draw‚ that is how dire it is growing to be. There are many problems that are causing global warming‚ and if they are not corrected‚ or at least prevented from here on out‚ there are going to be some severe complications in the near future. Greenhouse holes in the ozone layer and the decay of the atmosphere are just a few of the problems that need

The Real Cause of Global Warming There are many scientists who say that humans are the cause of global warming. With all the talk about green house gases going up and the amount of emissions that humans are putting into the atmosphere‚ not very many people talk about the other side of the story. By proving that humans are not the Cause of Global warming people will better understand what really is causing global warming. There are three very important points that one needs to look at when discussing

Global Warming By Abhijit Naik/30/11/2011 Global warming is one of the most serious environmental issues threatening the very existence of various plants and animal species on the planet. Over the last 100 years‚ the global near-surface temperatures has increased by 0.32SF as a result of various natural as well as anthropogenic causes of global warming. That being said‚ one also needs to take into consideration that the natural causes of global warming play a crucial role in stabilizing the

around the world. There are anthropogenic and natural causes which are responsible for this cause but individually they contribute a small amount but are a huge factor as a whole. One of the main problems about the climate change is global warming. What is global warming? It is the increase in the mean temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is said that the temperature has been rising by 0.5° every year and the highest temperature recorded was 47.6° in Faya‚ Chad in 22nd June 2010. This causes
