Lukas Zebrauskas 09/21/10 Chemistry & Environment Global Warming Outline Thesis: How is global warming and greenhouse gases affecting our environment? I. What is global warming? A.) Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. II. What is the

to live and breathe. Global deforestation is growing at an alarming rate -- every year‚ 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed. Anthropogenic factors that can affect forests include logging‚ urban sprawl‚ human-caused forest fires‚ acid rain‚ invasive species‚ and the practice of shifting cultivation. If forests disappear‚ the amount of Carbon Dioxide in air will increase‚ resulting in increase of temperature of earth. Furthermore‚ it would cause global warming as the Carbon Dioxide

the year 2007‚ the concept of ‘Sustainability’ was established in the mind of people and businesses in the world. In the year 2009‚ the UN Climate Change conference held in Copenhagen firmly developed the issue of potential threats of global warming in both the global political and business arenas. Since the industrial revolution in the late 18th century‚ new factories were built which means more deforestation‚ more use of electricity‚ more burning of fossil fuel and resulting in emission of more Carbondioxide

Global Warming–Truth or Myth: Two Sides to Every Story Summer 2010 Part I (Thesis): Global Warming: A Natural Occurrence There are always two sides to every story and every different point of view has a right to be heard. When it comes to the discussion of global warming—a gradual increase in the earth’s surface temperature—there are two very distinct and opposing points of view. The world seems to be split between global warming being caused by humans and it being a natural

GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON ANTARCTICA The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem‚ by damaging the polar caps‚ and harming all of Antarctica ecosystem. Global warming started to occur around the late 19th century‚ and it continues to proceed to increase as time goes on. The main gases to blame for global warming are Carbon dioxide‚ Methane‚ and Nitrous Oxide. These gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere causing the temperature to rise‚ this process is also

Deforestation Deforestation is clearing Earth’s forests on a massive scale‚ often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area‚ but large areas the size of Panama are lost each year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation. Reasons for Deforestation Forests are cut down for many reasons‚ but most of them are related to money or people’s need to provide for their families

It was in this setting that the Nations of the world gathered to discuss the issue of global warming in late November of 1997 (Christianson 254). From the beginning the United States was viewed as the villain. Undersecretary of State‚ Stuart Eizenstat‚ and head of the U.S. delegation‚ let it be known that no amount of pressure could force the

It means the list of endangered species only expanding‚ And all habitats anticipate the future taking a crash landing. The ice caps continue to melt from global warming‚ But we don’t seem to notice the early warning. This causing the sea levels to exceptionally increase‚ Then the flooding of cities and a disturbance of the peace. The average American throws out 4 ½ pounds of trash a day. We need to cut down

In the last few decades the carbon emission increased tremendously due to heavy use of technology. Consumerism is buying more things for self-satisfaction. Consumerism has both advantages and disadvantages. Consumption could be advantageous to businesses if it is used in limited ways‚ but consumption
