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

Summary: This paper looks at the controversial issue of climatic change. In particular‚ it develops the question of if and why earth’s climate is changing? The roles of man‚ naturally occurring trends‚ and earth’s cycles are considered‚ and an outlook for what can be expected in the near and distant future is given. The uneasiness of modern man arises from a rupture between himself and nature that leaves him homeless within the universe...’ William Barrett Introduction

Climate change is one of the emerging issues for global environment. It may be defined as the long-term change in average weather conditions‚ including temperature‚ precipitation and wind. This is already apparent as evidenced by higher temperatures‚ rising sea levels‚ increased ocean acidity and ice melt. Global surface temperatures‚ alone‚ have increased by roughly 0.74 °C (1.33 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century. Natural causes alone cannot explain all of these changes. Most

known to have a significant global climatologic impact as a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. After carbon dioxide and methane‚ nitrous oxide is the third most climatologically significant greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases act like a warming blanket in the troposphere and prevent radiative cooling. Nitrous oxide is a particularly potent greenhouse gas with 300 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide over 100 yr‚ according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.2 It seems prudent
