Global Warming: The Causes‚ Effects and the Human Influence Global warming refers to the rise in temperature of the earth’s surface. There exists an intricate ecological balance within the earth’s atmosphere. Slight increase in the temperature of the earth’s surface creates a serious ecological imbalance with far reaching consequences on earth’s aspect of life. The activities that contribute to such a change on earth are much likely attributable to humans. Earth is being effected highly by green

What is the main cause of global warming? In the last century‚ the sea level has rose for about 17 centimetres. The rate in the last decade is however‚ nearly the double of last century. Major global surface reconstructions also showed that the Earth has warmed since 1880 and it’s still going on. Oceans are also warming up‚ due to the heat. Not only that‚ the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting‚ glaciers are disappearing and extreme weather events have occurred more often. All these

GLOBAL WARMING Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. The main factors resulting in the warming of the earth is the emission of CO2. CO2 damages the ozone layer and comes from several sources. The most problematic comes from the burning of fossil fuels from electric power stations. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Another cause is the burning of gasoline for transportation. It continues to increase because

1/2/14 Global warming paragraph Global warming is a pretty known topic across the globe today. Many people have different theories on why they think the temperature of the earth is changing and some have little interest at all. For me it is a very interesting topic and I find myself wanting to do something about it. I believe that the effects of global warming are definitely human created‚ whether it be greenhouse gasses‚ carbon gas emission or the mass clearing of trees‚ I know there is something

Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. The Earth is in a warming period since the Ice Age. The warming periods called glacial periods cause the Earth to retrogress back to a cold ice age climate after a couple of years. This leads to the growing debate of today‚ Is global warming caused by humans? Or caused naturally? This is a controversial issue and debate today‚ however‚ global warming is not man-made‚ in fact‚ it is a normal and natural cycle for the Earth and the carbon

Global Warming The sky is falling‚ the sky is falling! Growing up I heard this phrase in folktales as a “wolf cry”-- a cry that is so ridiculous that nobody would believe it. Now that global warming is a major environmental issue‚ the saying doesn’t sound so out of place. Most people might say: what is global warming? That’s the question that was running through my mind when I first heard we were watching a documentary on it in my English 130 class. The film is Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth

scientist argue over the consequences of global warming. Scientist say that the heating of the atmosphere can influence many health problems. Some of the related problems due to global warming are death to heat waves and other climate changes‚ and infectious diseases. With the atmosphere temperature rising‚ we all will be at risk. The climate not only harms our bodies‚ it can also harm our crops and waters. Floods and droughts associated with global warming can undermine our health in other

Global Warming: Causes‚ Effects‚ and Solutions. Global Warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth ’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Many people do not see this as a problem. However‚ it is currently a huge issue that is often talked about among scientists and many other people. Global Warming is caused by many different things. Greenhouse gases‚ deforestation‚ and solar activity are three different proven facts that cause global warming
