Paulina Reyes Reading 158 Prof Goodrich Global Warming In the article How We Can Stop Being Eco-Hypocrites Raina Kelley talks about five different things that we can individually do to help out our planet. The first example is by getting rid of trash. Kelley shows us how San Francisco is vowing to go waste free by 2020 by setting up a recycling program throughout their communities. A second way we can save our planet is by putting an end to driving. We produce a large amount of carbon dioxide

Unimaginable Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes

Global Warming and Climate Change: Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. What are the main indicators of Climate Change? As explained by the US agency

Definition of global warming and natural disasters Global warming is when the earth heats up or the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. This hurts many people‚ animals‚ and plants. Many cannot take the change‚ so they die. Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. It makes the sea rise‚ and when the sea rises‚ the water covers many low land islands. This is a big problem

Global Warming is caused by human pollution; Nowadays our environment becomes different from the past‚ now the world is becoming dangerously warmer due to the human pollution of greenhouse gasses‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and deforestation‚ which it traps heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. “These are the Top 10 Global Warming Effects and Causes: (1) Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants; our over increasing addiction to electricity from coal

Abstract Global warming is a direct result of human activities on this planet. Our species have inhabited this planet for thousands of years but only since the 1900’s have scientists been able to measure the changes that we have induced on earth. It is estimated that temperatures have risen globally by about 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit‚ which may seem minor‚ but have caused physical changes on the planet (and potentially dangerous ones in the future). The “greenhouse effect” is a term many politicians

come can we not do anything about it or at least try it? We’re all aware of the seriousness of this problem: CO2 emissions and other substances such as Nitrogen oxide‚ Hydrocarbons or Carbon Monoxide‚ are destroying our ozone layer and causing global warming to arise. In consequence‚ the greenhouse effect makes the world’s temperature to reach higher levels and lead to enormous disasters such as North Pole melting‚ Pollution... All right then‚ I know that each one of you here is perfectly aware of
