Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Globalization is the process of extending social relations across world space. Such extension results in simultaneous development in technology and trade. Some of them cause harm to the atmosphere and invites global warming. The increase in the earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of green house gases such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels etc leads to global warming. As

Global Warming: Are Humans to Blame? Kelly Gaffney October 10‚ 2011 SCI 207 Instructor Reale In order to understand the issue of global warming (also referred to as climate change)‚ you must first understand what it means and how it happens. Global warming is a result of a process known as the greenhouse effect‚ in which the light and heat from the sun are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by greenhouse gases; which subsequently raises the average temperature on Earth. The greenhouse

Cause and effect of global warming Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light‚ or heat‚ escapes the earth ’s atmosphere. Thus‚ the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earth ’s history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150‚000 years that suggest a direct association with carbon dioxide levels. In the past the temperature highs and lows have been in tandem with

Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming Today‚ at the down of 21st century‚ together with the 20th century‚ especially the second half‚ is the time when Earth’s environment change at the very rapid rate. Humans have lived on this planet for thousands of years. I think now is the time to think how do we impact the place where we live‚ and the only place where we can live. The impact of human race on the natural processes of our planet has now reached the levels that are now global‚ not local anymore

If you don’t know what Global warming is it is the increase in the earth’s average temperature due to the release of several greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by humans. Global warming is affecting many different parts of the world and in turn causes a cause and effect. Glaciers are melting which is causing the sea level to rise. When the sea level rises it causes damage to people living in low lying areas‚ and damages to plants by covering them which causes them to die. Which in turn causes animals
