Global Warming Global Warming is described as the progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the alterations to the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere‚ causing the atmosphere to become warmer. This whole process occurs naturally and has kept the Earth’s temperature about 59 degrees

the hysteria‚ all of the fear‚ all of the phony science‚ could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it‚” said James M. Inhofe a member of the U.S. Senate. Could this be the true? Many facts behind the controversial issue of global warming prove this statement to correct. Global warming is not caused by human activities. Global warming cannot be completely caused by human’s emission of greenhouse gasses.” In the last

GLOBAL WARMING AND IT’S EFFECTS ON GLACIERS Global Warming The average global temperature has raised more than expected in the past few decades. Many prefer to use the milder term ’climate change’ instead of the harsher ’global warming’ to describe this change in average global temperature. The main cause of global warming is thought to be the ’greenhouse effect’ that is mainly caused by us humans. With an increase in temperature glaciers worldwide are melting faster than the time taken for

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

People are all carrying an umbrella when they step out of house as they cannot stand the blistering heat. This is caused by global warming‚ isn’t it? Global warming has resulted many negative effects and they are mainly caused by human activities. Hence‚ we‚ humans should stop global warming. Human activities produces 75% of annual carbon dioxide emissions. Firstly ‚the greenhouse gases has caused temperatures to increase. Since 1861‚ the average temperature has increased by 0.6 Degree Celsius

Global Warming is defined as the increase in the average temperature of the earth near surface air and ocean since the mid 20th century and its projected continuation. Global warming happens only due to the attention of the suns rays with the green house gases that play a major role in heating up the atmosphere.

Global Warming is a serious problem‚ and it should be taken very seriously. Unless we take action now‚ we will have major consequences to deal with later on. These include‚ but are certainly not limited to‚ extreme weather‚ a decline in polar life‚ and effects on human health. It seems like Global Warming has become such a political issue that people tend to take a side based solely

A GLOBAL PROBLEM: RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is a tangible problem and its existence can no longer be denied. It is one of the most important scientific‚ economic threats facing to the earth. There are many factors lead to climate change‚ such as greenhouse gases‚ carbon dioxide‚ fossil fuels. Although it would be self-deception to believe that humans had nothing to do with it‚ the fact is that human activities caused negative effects on climate change. More people exploit

Recently‚ global warming has become a big issue in the environmentally conscious society. It is often the topic of fiery debate amongst global politicians and is regularly featured in the tabloids. There are many arguments to prove the existence of global warming‚ but there are also many theories to disprove the existence. Confusion is caused through the ongoing debate of “ Is earth going through a normal cycle?‚ Is earth going through Global warming ? or Is earth going through a Cold age?”. There
