The greenhouse gas effect The greenhouse gas effect is the accumulation of natural and man-made gas in the atmosphere which does not block sunlight but trap heat to keep the temperature on Earth suitable for life. Imagine a greenhouse that is made of glass that supports plants growth. Visible sunlight can go through the glass but the heat in which it contains can’t go back through the glass‚ thus a greenhouse keeps plants warm allowing them to live and grow happily. The same process with gas replacing

GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS ON ANTARCTICA The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem‚ by damaging the polar caps‚ and harming all of Antarctica ecosystem. Global warming started to occur around the late 19th century‚ and it continues to proceed to increase as time goes on. The main gases to blame for global warming are Carbon dioxide‚ Methane‚ and Nitrous Oxide. These gases are trapping the heat inside the atmosphere causing the temperature to rise‚ this process is also

The Seriousness of Global Warming Luis Green Columbia Southern University The Seriousness of Global Warming One of the most controversial and popular environmental topics is the effects of global warming on the planet. Although global warming has become a more talked about issue in the last few years‚ scientists have been warning the world for a long time about the devastating impact that human related greenhouse gases is having and will continue to have on the environment

Is Global Warming a Myth? “Global warming is a fact‚ and human activity is the cause”‚ were the words of Bill Clinton on his views concerning global warming. A biased statement that lacks scientific proof‚ but is partially true. Yes‚ global warming is a fact‚ but it is not only a cause of human activity; it is also occurring due to nature. I believe that Global warming is not a myth. People have many misconceptions in their minds regarding global warming. So what does global warming really mean

this could be the description of our not too distant future. For years‚ scientists have been studying Earth’s rising temperatures‚ otherwise known as global warming‚ and warning the public of the consequences to come if mankind does not react and respond quickly to this issue. Even so‚ we choose to turn a blind eye to the problem of global warming‚ taking little or no action to make a difference. The result? A huge and critical one-degree rise in earth’s temperatures over the past year! According

Professor Ali Ashkiani English 114-64 20 October 2014 Global Warming is real! Global warming has been a massive controversial theory that has been researched and calculated for years. An abundance of people do not know that their lives have been impacted by global warming. These researchers have been collecting data for years and years proving its existence. Many scientist and intellectual figures may say that in fact global warming is real; many other scientist and intellectual figures may

believe that the building of such structures not only has a negative environmental impact‚ but it also opens up the area to loggers and more roads. To build a hydroelectric dam‚ acres of land must be flooded‚ which causes decomposition and release of greenhouse gases. Local people can also be displaced by dam projects‚ causing further deforestation when these people resettle elsewhere. Although not all deforestation is intentional‚ some is caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires

How fast globalisation have been rising and spreading has gradually affected the environment rigorously. The effects of globalisation are: regional and global inequality; climate change and increasing poverty. The consequences of globalisation can be found and seen anywhere and everywhere for example: a few wealthy people and relentless poverty for everyone else. Plus Globalisation

the year 2007‚ the concept of ‘Sustainability’ was established in the mind of people and businesses in the world. In the year 2009‚ the UN Climate Change conference held in Copenhagen firmly developed the issue of potential threats of global warming in both the global political and business arenas. Since the industrial revolution in the late 18th century‚ new factories were built which means more deforestation‚ more use of electricity‚ more burning of fossil fuel and resulting in emission of more Carbondioxide

are what is wrong and we must make it right’ (Al Gore‚ 2007) In the context of global warming‚ discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. Global warming has been happening for millions of years through periods of glacial’s and interglacial’s. The last glacial period occurred during the last years of the Pleistocene‚ approximately 110‚000 to 12‚000 years ago and ever since then the earth has been warming up. However the change between the heating and cooling used to be for natural
