Global Warming affects Biodiversity There has always been a link between climate change and biodiversity. As the climate changes‚ the animals in the affected areas have to either adjust or leave. Although climate changes have been occurring throughout history‚ the rapid climate changes of today are resulting in species not being able to adapt quickly enough and undergoing species loss. Some species may adapt well to the climate changes such as an increase in bugs and pests‚ but others‚ such as Arctic

concentrations produced by human activity. While there are arguments in favour of 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. Peer-reviewed research and simple logic show this is not the case. There are a number of different

Nick: What do you mean? Global warming is a myth. How can it be global warming if winter is colder than it used to be? John: Are you seriously asking this? The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves‚ and wiser people so full of doubts. Nick: Are you

10. Air pollution (global warming) Environmental Protection Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe‚ but nowadays it’s the only place where we can live. People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale. With the development of overcrowded industrial highly developed cities‚ which put huge amounts

Predictions of fiercer droughts‚ more severe cyclones‚ and more frequent floods invade our media and perhaps our consciousness. The future will see polar icecaps melt due to the increasing temperatures. The warmer waters may cause the death of the Great Barrier Reef‚ placing thousands of species of plants and animals in danger‚ and many may become extinct. Then there’s the economic costs of climate change - loss of tourism‚ loss of jobs‚ loss of fish‚ farmers battling‚ food prices through the roof

This paper focuses on the negative influence of population growth on the environment in these areas: air pollution‚ water pollution‚ global warming and ozone depletion. Air pollution is an important pollution problem. Increasing population growth creates more of this pollutant whose major source is burning of fossil fuel‚ larger number of vehicles and industrial production. As a result

The three main areas to be explored are the relationship between ‘Greenhouse’ effect and global warming‚ the consequences of global warming with evidence and the argument against addressing global warming. The final section will provide suggestions that would overcome the impact of global warming. ‘Greenhouse’ effect ‘Greenhouse’ effect plays an important role on encouraging the generation of global warming.

Global Warming: Facts‚ Causes and Effects Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. It is‚ in fact‚ the increase in temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is one of the most current and widely discussed factors. It has a far-reaching impact on biodiversity and climatic conditions of the planet. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on rising sea levels‚ the melting
