many of which we are just discovering today. The most important problem started by the industrial revolution is a significant increase in Carbon Dioxide emission‚ which leads to global warming. Globe warming brings about various natural disasters. The most significant disaster is the rising of sea level. Global warming increases the melting of the polar ice caps‚ which brings about a rise in sea level. As sea level rises‚ islands near sea level sink into the sea. Residents on these islands lose

SUMMARY Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. It happens when high level of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are trapped in the atmosphere causing a rise in temperature. Although the idea that global warming is similar to climate change‚ there are still some distinctions with these two concepts. As mentioned earlier‚ there is a shift from low temperature to high temperature caused mainly by gases when we speak of global warming. While

Many people believe that trying to fix global warming is a hopeless task‚ however global warming can be halted and could even be reversed. This is a very daunting challenge because it means that people have to change the way they live and do things. We could all choose to ignore this situation but the future impact on our planet is huge. Global warming not only brings about climate changes but also will reduce the level of breathable air (O2) and reduce the levels of drinkable water on our planet

My thesis statement was a multiple sentence statement. It included linking Global Warming to relatable everyday situations‚ and the author trying to inform others about global warming. My writing didn’t really establish authority as‚ my response wasn’t really an analysis. This paper was more so a summary of the article. Although‚ I do have some statements that explain the quotes I used out of the article. My position on the first response paper is to show how the author tries to make this controversial

Effect and Global Warming Recently‚ global warming has moved to a serious scientific issue. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth‚ the law of physics say that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere‚ where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while‚ warming the surface.1 The molecules are kind of like glass in a greenhouse which is why this process of warming is called

Sylvester 16 Feb 2011 The Causes and Effects of Global Warming If you’re accustomed to thinking of global warming as something happening out there--say‚ in the Artic or the Antarctic or high in the atmosphere--you may be in for a shock.(Silvestro.) Global warming is the observed and projected increases in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans (wijkman). Today‚ this is one of our most damaging problems (Global). Global warming is caused by the buildup of atmospheric gases and

Global warming is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today. What are the causes of global warming and what measures can governments and individuals take to tackle the issue? You must answer these three things in order to fully answer the question: 1. What are the causes of global warming? 2. What can governments do about it? 3. What can individuals do about it? Example of composition: Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming

Even though we always thought of global warming affecting us‚ we never thought of how we caused problems for global warming. For the past decades we did nothing but cause this major crisis‚ now Is the time we need to help it slow down. Us can be taking in many ways‚ individuals

Lê Lan Lam – USTH BI3-044 Writing project 2: The role of CO2 in global warming Nowaday‚ climate change and global warming are very urgent problems of the world. There are many mixed opinions about the role of CO2 in those processes. Most of people – such as Rosanne Skirble write in “Scientists 95% Certain Climate Change Is Man-made”‚ or GPWayne with the article “Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming” – believe that CO2 is the main factor and human – who release majority of greenhouse

Will Biofuels solve global warming? Global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses; these trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere that should escape from the earth. Global warming is causing sea levels to rise and ice caps to melt this could lead to coastal cities flooding‚ droughts in area’s which usually get rain and less crops to list only a few affects. The cause of global warming is “greenhouse gasses” these gasses include nitrous oxide carbon dioxide and water vapour. Cars produce CO2‚ H20 and
