natural cause of the global warming‚ I think on balance that the arguments against carry greater weight. A common skeptic argument is that climate has changed naturally in the past‚ long before SUVs and coal-fired power plants‚ and this somehow tells us that humans can’t be the main cause of the current global warming.

Global Warming is an Ethical Issue By Alan AtKisson "Ethics" is a word that does not usually get the blood flowing.

In the mid-twentieth century the earth’s average temperature is increasing due to the fact that global warming is taking place. Global surface temperature has increased about a degree in the past century. The progressive gradual rise of the earth’s surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect is responsible for changes in global climate patterns. An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures is widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse

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
