crops or grazing livestock. Often many small farmers will each clear a few acres to feed their families by cutting down trees and burning them in a process known as “slash and burn” agriculture. Logging operations‚ which provide the world’s wood and paper products‚ also cut countless trees each year. Loggers‚ some of them acting illegally‚ also build roads to access more and more remote forests. This process just leads to further deforestation. Forests are also cut as a result of growing urban populations

The Problem of Global Warming The problem of global warming‚ an increase in the average temperature on Earth‚ is getting worse. The Earth has warmed 0.3 to 0.6 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. Scientists believe that the cause is the greenhouse effect‚ the process of trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere because of the presence of large amounts of carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ methane‚ and nitrogen oxides. Less oxygen is being produced and cleaning the atmosphere allowing more

Oh sunny Los Angles‚ CA; visitors wake up early and perhaps go for a hike in Runyon Canyon Park. There is a beautiful trail that brings people to the peak of Los Angles to see all of its glory‚ the Hollywood sign‚ Disneyland‚ and the gray haze of polluted air surrounding the city. Maybe the view

how tornadoes have changed since temperatures started rising. Secondly‚ computer simulated models can’t tell scientists much about tornadoes either. Because these models work on large scales‚ simulating changes in the ocean and the atmosphere on a global scale. In contrast‚ tornadoes are minor weather events. As Dr Suzanne Gray‚ a meteorologist from Reading University explains: "Tornadoes are too small-scale for current climate models to simulate‚ so it is not possible to say very much about

Causes of Global Warming Photograph by Peter Essick What Causes Global Warming? Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They’ve looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that’s been measured can’t be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans. To bring all this information together‚ the United

In this picture ‚ you can take conclusion that the ice is melting rapidly and thus the water level is rising at a fast speed. This is all happening from global warming. This can cuase many animals to die or get extinct‚ also the people that are living nearby can also be affected by this. Global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels and forests‚ we lately have been doing this a lot. The polar bear is saying “ha ha youre eliminated!” to the other polar bear because there playing musical ice chairs

Help prevent Global Warming There is no doubt the Planet Earth is getting warmer and warmer by the day. Global warming is the rising temperature on the planet Earth’s surface and it’s oceans. Global warming effects everything including our ocean temperature and the amount of precipitation. There are many things we could do to stop global warming. If more and more people started to recycle that would be a great start. You can even turn this into a fun family activity. Another one is if people

Global Warming General Purpose: To inform my audience about the effects of global warming. Specific Purpose: I want my audience to understand briefly the negative effects of global warming in our environment. INTRODUCTION The negative effects of global warming are slowly ruining the environment we live in. In a few decades‚ it is possible our Earth will be very uncomfortable to live on. I have researched the issues of global warming and have found out as much as I possibly can in order

the burning of fossil fuels" - David Bellamy Global warming can be defined as the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and the question over what has been causing this increase in temperature has sparked many debates throughout the world. There is certainly evidence to suggest that global warming is a real issue‚ not just an urban myth. Since pre-industrial times (i.e. before the industrial revolution in the late 1700s) global average temperatures have risen by about 0.7°C
