The biggest threat to life on earth comes from global warming. Rich industrialised countries in the West have been burning fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil and gas for about 150 years‚ pumping out vast quantities of carbon dioxide. This gas traps the heat from the sun and causes the Earth and the atmosphere to get warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect. So why global warming is a problem? Well‚ high level of these greenhouse gases in the atmophere causes climate changes‚ which also lead to

Global Warming Is having perfect hair and good enough reason to destroy the earth? The answer is definitely no. Research shows that humans are the primary cause of the rising temperatures and increasing sea levels over the century. Greenhouse gases are rising much more rapidly than expected and as a result the world is warming up as well. In the future‚ global warming will cause horrible effects such as heat waves‚ droughts‚ floods and storms. Due to these events some of the world’s poorest

Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. This essay will examine the reasons why global warming is occurring and discuss some possible solutions. The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into

Global Warming Global warming is the rise in temperature (warming) of the entire planet and oceans. The rising temperatures affect our climates in such that droughts will happen more often‚ deserts will become bigger‚ heat waves will happen more often‚ and snow will lessen in areas. Also storms and hurricanes will happen more often. Global warming happens very slowly‚ the environment goes through natural periods of cooling and warming. Global warming causes changes in the

Global Warming Global warming ; a growing problem that affects people‚ animals and the environment all over the world. What is it and what can we do to stop it? What is global Warming? Many scientists are still arguing that the causes of global warming are natural and not humans fault. Their main statement is that in the past the earth’s temperature has declined and risen. This happened even before humans inhabited the earth. Some argue that the rotation speed and axis of the earth can

Global Warming effects on the natural balance of environment. The world climate is going a significant change day by day. There are many causes of Global Warming. The destruction and burning down of tropical forests ‚ traffic clogging up the city streets ‚ rapid growth of unplanned industries‚ the use of CFCs in packaging and manufacturing products‚ the use of detergents etc. cause Global Warming. Besides‚ overpopulation‚ deforestation are the causative factors of Global Warming. The setting up

Through the eyes of most scientists‚ global warming is seen as a very serious and severe threat. The actions taken by humans‚ such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad. By the middle of the twenty first century‚ there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history‚ and quite possibly since the

Global Warming: We Are All Guilty For every person with an opinion‚ there is another person who believes the opposite. This goes for almost any public affair in today’s society‚ it is a part of human nature to disagree and argue. Considering this‚ it is no surprise that there are many differing opinions on the numerous different parts of one of today’s biggest issues: global warming. In most cases it is perfectly fine to have differing opinions on issues. However‚ this is becoming too big of

Most people do not believe that our world is warming up‚ they believe the climate is in a cycle‚ and that humans do not contribute to the warming of our climate. Research supports the fact that Global warming is a huge factor in climate change and that
