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

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 (A False Ideology) Global warming is defined by Google as “A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide‚ CFCs‚ and other pollutants”. The “greenhouse effect” is essential to life on Earth. If there were no greenhouse gases‚ the temperature of the air would be about 32°F or 18°C colder than it is now. The earth would pretty much be a frozen wasteland. We need greenhouse

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.

Effect and Global Warming Recently‚ global warming has moved to a serious scientific issue. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth‚ the law of physics say that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere‚ where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while‚ warming the surface.1 The molecules are kind of like glass in a greenhouse which is why this process of warming is called
