GAC023 Assessment Event 1: Task 1 Global Warming Student name: María Fernanda González Student ID #: ESNI23512 Teacher: Olivia Urdapilleta Due date: 13/01/2015 Word Count: 315 Global warming is the increase in the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere. The increases in the surface temperature and carbon dioxide have been faster in recent decades. In the 20th century‚ the earth’s average temperature rose about 0.6° Celsius. (Timeforchange.org‚ 2015) The causes of this problem are many‚ the

Proposal Through the research I’ve done on global warming it appears to me that there is no problem with it at all‚ and that there is nothing to worry about. We need to accept that fact that global warming is actually helping the human race in many different ways. For examples the environment is warming up‚ the ocean levels are rising‚ and the increase of carbon dioxide are all benefits to the environment and economy. It’s almost as if global warming is turning the earth into a tropical paradise

Computer History 3 A Brief History of Global Warming April R. Baumgartner Earth’s climate constantly changes‚ and many scientists believe that the temperature rises we see in this decade are a natural phenomenon that occurs every so many years. Around 25‚000 years ago‚ it is believed that earth was covered by large areas of ice. And then‚ about 7‚000 years ago‚ temperatures began to rise and the "Ice Age" came to an end. Second Ice Age In the 14th century earth experienced

Emissions and Global Warming Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere every time we burn fossil fuels such as gas‚ coal or oil. In a natural carbon cycle‚ carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However‚ the rate in which we are burning fuels is way too fast for trees and plants to absorb and convert into breathable air. In addition to that‚ many rainforests have been lost because of the cutting down of trees‚ which doesn’t help in the already existing problem. The effect of all this

A GLOBAL PROBLEM: RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is a tangible problem and its existence can no longer be denied. It is one of the most important scientific‚ economic threats facing to the earth. There are many factors lead to climate change‚ such as greenhouse gases‚ carbon dioxide‚ fossil fuels. Although it would be self-deception to believe that humans had nothing to do with it‚ the fact is that human activities caused negative effects on climate change. More people exploit

the hysteria‚ all of the fear‚ all of the phony science‚ could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it‚” said James M. Inhofe a member of the U.S. Senate. Could this be the true? Many facts behind the controversial issue of global warming prove this statement to correct. Global warming is not caused by human activities. Global warming cannot be completely caused by human’s emission of greenhouse gasses.” In the last

I believe that as the caretakers of this planet we must strive together to reduce our carbon emissions and… save the planetBACKGROUND:We’ve all heard about Climate Change and you’ve now heard me list some of its disastrous effects‚ but what exactly causes it? And what can we do about it?In a nutshell‚ global warming‚ known as climate change‚ is the heating up of our world. It is the result of huge amounts of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere‚ via the burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil to

1. Define "global warming." Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and the ocean due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming. Include a list of some of the gases that are believed to contribute to global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ mainly from industries has increased significantly. The atmospheric concentration of this gas and its

Global warming to some individuals is something fake that others say. However‚ global warming is a threat to us. Most people think of this as a scientific fantasy‚ but it can be a huge danger for later generations. We can’t be egocentric and only think about us. Global warming isn’t only effecting us‚ but it’s also effecting animals. Some species might even go extinct because of global warming. We need to do something to prevent or at best slow the process down a bit. I believe it’s vital that we
