What is Global Warming? Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter‚ disasters like hurricanes‚ droughts and floods are getting more frequent. Over the last 100 years‚ the average temperature of the air near the Earth´s surface has risen a little less than 1° Celsius (0.74 ± 0.18°C‚ or 1.3 ± 0.32° Fahrenheit). Does not seem all that much? It is responsible for the conspicuous increase in storms‚ floods and raging forest fires we

Global warming is called the greenhouse effect because the gases that are gathering above the earth make the planet comparable to a greenhouse. By trapping heat near the surface of the earth‚ the greenhouse effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Many scientists criticized Mr. Hansen’s report‚ and the debate over global warming continues today. Current fears stem largely from the fact that global warming is occurring at such a rapid pace. Models are predicting that over the
