Jacqueline Sanchez Brad Stiles Research Paper Global warming is no longer a myth and as consumers of resources‚ the world has to change and conserve their energy usage. There are many things one can do‚ but informing others how to take these dire steps our world needs in order to survive and support humankind. With CO2 making up over 70 percent of our atmosphere‚ we need to focus not only on how to slow down its growth‚ but removal of it s existence from the atmosphere to the right level of

Thesis: Global warming is a human induced phenomenon causing a dramatic rise in average global temperatures and posing a major threat to our planet and it’s ecosystems. Points of Evidence: The science is clear: Human activity is causing our climate to change. -When we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum‚ we cause the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping “greenhouse gasses” into the atmosphere. Though natural amounts of CO2 have varied from 180 to 300

This phenomena has been given the title global warming‚ and has sparked a new debate in local‚ state‚ national‚ and world policy. Since the end of WWII the United States has played the role of international policeman. As one of the strongest economic‚ political‚ and economic powers in the world the United Nations Special committee on Global warming research has also made us the leading emissions releaser in the world‚ with approximately one fifth of all global emissions coming from our country.

Abstract This report studies secondary research to discover the effects of global warming and the consequences it has on sea levels‚ ice melting and the polar bear. Websites researched were NASA‚ ICUN‚ National Geographic‚ BBC News‚ The Independent‚ IPCC‚ Arctic Council‚ National Resources Defense Council‚ UN News and D.V.D. called ‘An Inconvenient‚’ truth. Evidence researched supports the conclusion that scientists believe global temperatures have been rising and that human activity is a significant

CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming also causes sea surface temperatures to rise‚ precipitation patterns to change‚ etc.. (NASA‚ 2002) Global warming can have many different causes‚ but it is most commonly associated with human interference‚ specifically the release of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. (EPA‚ 2006) Global warming is caused by excessive quantities of greenhouse gases emitted into Earth’s near-surface atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are both man-made and occur naturally

challenges that global warming presents to both governments and business Introduction (250 word approx.) This essay discusses the challenges that global warming presents to both the government and also how they affect businesses. Many people think global warming is just the weather becoming warmer‚ but in fact this is not the case. Global warming makes the weather more unpredictable as some places become colder‚ some hotter‚ some more drier‚ some more wetter and so on. Global warming is defined as

Global Warming The greenhouse effect‚ in environmental science‚ is a popular term for the effect that certain variable constituents of the Earth ’s lower atmosphere have on surface temperatures. It has been known since 1896 that Earth has been warmed by a blanket of gasses (This is called the "greenhouse effect."). The gases--water vapor (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and methane (CH4)--keep ground temperatures at a global average of about 15 degrees C (60 degrees F). Without them the average

Abstract What is global warming? Global warming is the heating of the earth. Global warming happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the atmosphere. This is known as the greenhouse effect. It prevents heat and light from escaping the earth’s atmosphere kind of like the earth is a giant greenhouse. Global warming is a good thing‚ but at the same time‚ can have devastating effects if not properly monitored and
