The Seriousness of Global Warming Luis Green Columbia Southern University The Seriousness of Global Warming One of the most controversial and popular environmental topics is the effects of global warming on the planet. Although global warming has become a more talked about issue in the last few years‚ scientists have been warning the world for a long time about the devastating impact that human related greenhouse gases is having and will continue to have on the environment

Global Warming SCI 207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Troy Breathwaite September 11‚ 2012 Global Warming I. Introduction A. Thesis Statement Global Warming is the steady increase in earth ’s average temperature. Global warming is real and mainly caused by the human race burning fossil fuels for energy. Studies have shown environmental changes on a scale unprecedented in human history as we know it‚ including melting of polar ice caps‚ increased desertification‚ rising sea

Over the past few decades scientist have been observing a warming trend in the over all temperature of the earth. Although the earth has been known to go through warm and cold periods‚ it seems that we humans are causing the earth to heat up this time. The greenhouse effect is causing the earth to go through this warming trend that we call global warming. The greenhouse effect is caused when the infrared radiation from the sun is absorbed in atmospheric gasses such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide

Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. It is already affecting the world as we know it; endangering polar bears‚ shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere‚ hence increasing the average temperature of the earth. Scientists have stated that the average temperature will likely rise a further 1 to 6 °C still during the 21st century. Global warming is causing numerous problems

Although the author gives several supporting claims and examples to argue for his opinion‚ which is global warming is a good thing‚ I still cannot agree with his point of view‚ because some of the claims do not seem to be valid and need to be clarified further. First all‚ the writer states that coolings seem to be rapid‚ and cause disastrous downfalls of civilization‚ but we can cope with slow upward trends in temperature. It is true that too cold climate can provoke downfalls of civilization‚ but

In the controversy over whether Global Warming there is two sides in which people can choose either human caused or just Mother Nature doing her thing. Most scientists will tell you that Global Warming is mostly the cause of humans. While there are some who will disagree and say that it is just nature doing what it has done for thousands of years. For most scientists the topic of global warming is one that is caused by us humans. They have many facts data to back this up. Some examples of these

Global warming Global warming is the most concerning problem of our time. Global warming is the process in which the Earth’s temperature starts increasing; it is caused mostly by human activities‚ especially industrialization‚ and pollution that are killing the Earth by emitting greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. But this reason is not the only reason why we have to stop global warming. Firstly‚ IPCC projects that the world’s temperatures will rise 1.8-6 degrees Celsius by the century’s end –

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. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.[1][2] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic

Moore on May 20. The tornado reportedly boasted winds above 300 kilometres per hour as it ripped through homes and schools‚ leaving a huge path of destruction and fifty one of people‚ including twenty children. People have started to ask the questions about what causes these shattering tornadoes‚ and a lot of people have started to ask if we are to play for these severe tornadoes because of human induced climate change. Trying to establish whether tornado activity will change as the climate
