Warming And Global Warming
Climate change and global warming is not a myth or a faux like most people believe, they are real and it's affecting everyone in the world. Even if
they don't realize it right now, they soon will. Climate change and global warming are caused by human activity. Global warming and climate change
is not just a phase and not enough is being done to stop it and to help save our earth's natural resources like our water, air, and soil. Climate change and
global warming are affecting our air quality, by the burning of fossil fuel, exhaust from factories and wildfires. The burning of fossil fuel causes the
release of sulfur dioxide(SO2) into our atmosphere, which is a toxic gas and is harmful to the respiratory system. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency(EPA) states " High concentration of SO2 in the air generally also leads to the formation of other sulfur oxides SO2 ". This is
trying to say that with the formation of other sulfur oxides can cause more harm than the SO2 because other sulfur oxides cause the formation of
small particles that can penetrate more deeply into our lungs and cause major health problems. Not only does it affect us human but it also affects the
environment. Wildfires caused by global warming also affect our air quality since they release tons of carbon dioxide into the air. In recent events,

Environmental Warming In Global Warming
Summary: In wake of impending climate change impacts, the scientific community has taken it upon themselves to reverse engineer the predicted
negative impacts. Since the 1990's, geoengineering, or the addition of aerosols into the stratosphere, has been proposed to halt the warming of our
climate. The main issue with injecting microscopic aerosols into our atmosphere is that the ozone layer would respond negatively. Since the 1990's,
studies have concluded that injecting sulfate aerosols will lead to a general decrease in ozone concentrations (Pitari et. al 2014). In Pitari et. al 2014,

With respect to the ozone response to stratospheric geoengineering, we now have new information that will need to be further investigated outside of
computer simulations to determine the true impact of stratospheric geoengineering on the ozone layer. Similarities and differences between Pitari et. al
2014 and Keith et. al 2016 Both research papers aim to negate the potentially negative impacts of stratospheric geoengineering. They both conclude that
in computer model simulations, sulfate aerosols will ultimately damage the ozone layer. Keith et. al 2016 concludes that using calcite aerosols could
have significantly less environmental risks, such as less ozone depletion, claiming the need for more extensive research beyond the traditional mindset
that is stuck on sulfate aerosols. Both papers exclusively used computer modeling, Pitari et. al 2014 used ULAQ–CCM, MIROC–ESM–CHEM, and
GEOSCCM, while Keith et. al 2016 used AER 2–D, RRTM, and hand computing chemical reactions. Heterogeneous chemical reactions occurring on
the surface of sulfate and calcite aerosols were computed using ULAQ–CCM, MIROC–ESM–CHEM, GEOSCCM and AER 2–D. The models differ in

Global Warming. Global Warming Is Defined As A Gradual
Global Warming
Global warming is defined as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere. (Google definition). The warming is generally
attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants in the atmosphere. There is
overwhelming evidence to support the existence of global warming, its cause and the time is how to act to reduce green houses gasses. Human activity
is the major cause for global warming. Greenhouse gases (CO2) are directly caused by human consumption and burning of fossil fuels.

It has long been recognized dating back to 1859. The greenhouse effect more commonly known as global warming has become one of the hottest
contested issues of our time. Culminating in 2007 when former Vice President Al Gore advocated in a documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" that
humans caused climate change is real and without immediate action to reduce greenhouse gasses, major climate changes will occur leading to a
possible collapse of the industrial world. This documentary has been seen by over 5 million people worldwide and given Vice President Gore's
standing, his name has increased awareness of global warming. Proponents of global warming and former Vice President Gore advocate that the
evidence of global warming and its effects are all around us. For instance, between 2003 and 2009 due to slight temperature increases, the Himalayan
glaciers lost an estimated 174 gigatons of water. This melting contributed to catastrophic floods of the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. Global
warming has also contributed to the reduced size of the Arctic ice cap. As the Arctic ice cap shrinks it reflects less of the suns energy causing air and
water temperatures to rise. According to the glacier monitoring service, since 1980 worldwide glaciers have lost nearly 40 feet. In addition to the

Third Main Point: Global warming can be stopped if we take action now.
Sub point: Larry West author of What is the Greenhouse Effect states the following: We need to do our part to reduce waste by using reusable
products instead of disposable. Whenever possible we need to recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. By recycling our household
waste, we can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.
Sub–sub–point: We need to use less heat and air conditioning, by adding insulation and installing weather stripping or caulking around doors and
windows. By setting your thermostat 2 degrees lower in winter and higher in the summer we can save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
Sub–sub–point: We need to replace our light bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs, (CFL, Compact Fluorescent Light) if every U.S. family did this
we would eliminate 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gases which would be equivalent to 7.5 million cars off the roads.
Supporting Point: We need to buy energy efficient products like cars and household appliances. If possible use less hot water and set your water

The China Statistical Yearbook published that for the year 2015, China had an estimated 2,801,143 factories in the nation, approximately ten times the
amount in the U.S. Overall, the increase of CO2 is establishing a much warmer environment than in the past decades, something that can be easily
identified by the amount of heat increasing within the oceans and thus influencing surface temperatures both in Earth's northern and southern
hemispheres. A key impact presented with Global Warming is this gradual increase in temperatures and change inclimate. Many of the changes are duly
noticeable in the U.S, where states such as California have declared the presence of a drought and weather can be seen to be very sporadic. Indeed,
this change is affecting many people in the U.S, particularly in areas of agriculture where some farmers have had numerous problems cultivating and
harvesting crops, leading to failures in the regular supply of foods. But this change is not only affecting humans, but largely animals as well, with
many such as polar bears and fish have suffered due to the change in ocean temperature. Polar Bears have seen a dramatic loss of their habitable
environments, whereas the polar ice caps in the Arctic rapidly melting, and the fish in the Pacific Ocean have seen a decrease in population due to
excess fishing and the warming of the oceans.

When you hear the word Climate Change, what do you think of? Some people have discussed this topic for many years. It is described as an average
temperature of the Earth's climate, which many studies have shown the climate system has been warming. Climate change exists, and it has thrown an
effect on animals, humans and things. It has been proven by scientific research that it is a threat on civilization. For many of years the scientist and the
government has been hiding how dangerous the climate change really is and, how it's effecting our world as a nation. There is many research have
shown that there is a debate of climate and has been a global threat for humanity.
Research has suggested that climate change is a valid argument, by discussing what climate change versus what global warming is together. There is
various of research that explains the fact that they are both different in many ways. In the article, "Global Warming and Climate Change" it has
explained that climate and global change are two various changes. With, climate change is earth's temperature, clouds and winds over time. As Global

In recent years, global climate change due to global warming has been largely researched. The paper, "Global Climate Change Triggered by Global
Warming," offers compelling evidence from various scientific papers that the process of Earth's climate undergoing significant change has already
begun and requires our attention due to the probability that human–generated greenhouse gases are the primary cause. Major focal points are shifting
towards determining the causes to mitigate the effects rather than establishing the existence as sufficient amount of evidence has proven that global
warming is indisputable. During the final decade of the 20th century, climatologists have concluded that the past millennium to be the warmest,
especially in the year of 2005. Solutions towards the cause would require assistance from the population as a whole. An example of a catastrophic
climate change is a period known as the "Younger Dryas," an epoch in time when the mean global surface temperature dropped drastically in a couple
of decades and lasted for one millennium. Although the circumstance of the Younger Dryas is quite different compared to the present, it shows how
cataclysmic a drastic climate change could enforce. Two important or major definitions presented in the work are mean global surface temperature and
(global) climate. Mean global surface temperature is defined as "average of the air temperature measured at the land surface and of the surface water
temperature measured over large bodies of water" (Jordan, 2006, p. 159). As for global climate, according to Jordan (2006), "the average of the global
weather...over a time interval appropriate to the rate at which the climate is changing" is the best definition. These two terms appear frequently
throughout, which shows the significance of comprehending the meaning as it relates to the argument and explanation.
Arguments on the veritable source of action outlined in the paper are the sun, the long–term quazi–periodic process, the urban heat–island effect, and

Although the greenhouse gas might contribute a little to the climate change, human industry emits more than 100 times of gas than the volcanos. In
other words, the effect of volcanos cannot account for the change of temperature. Moreover, the add up of these three natural factors also shows that
even though these natural phenomena fluctuate in the past century, the observed temperature increase does not match their changes. Then the research
starts to consider the factors besides the natural factors but human factors, such as deforestation, ozone pollution, and aerosol pollution. Deforestation
pointed out that people have cut and plowed more than half of the land surface on earth in the past hundred years. That fewer trees and plants absorb
less carbon dioxide emitted by human activities and greenhouse gas is left in the atmosphere is the reason for it to be a candidate for global warming.
On contrast, although carbon dioxide is less transformed to oxygen by plants, the forests after cutting trees actually cause cooling effect because they
are lighter than before to reflect more sunlights. For ozone pollution, it is true to be able to block sunlight and make climate hotter, but the overall

Climate Change vs. Global Warming The fact is that in the farthest reaches of the north and south, there is a nightmare becoming a reality that must be
clearly understood. In order to understand this rising threat at hand, it is important to clarify the common terms of climate change and global warming
that the crumbling of ice is most often referred to. Climate change is the overarching term that is used to encompass changes that are occurring to the
planet such as global warming, sea level rise, glaciers dissolving, and ice sheets disappearances. While climate change refers a broad range of changes,
these changes are mostly consequences that result from global warming. Global warming is the term within the climate change category that was first
used by scientists to refer to the phenomenon of the constant warming of the planet as a result of excess amounts of greenhouse gases being released
into the atmosphere. More often than not, climate change and global warming are terms that can be used interchangeably but strictly speaking they do
not mean the same thing.
Heat Transfer To understand global warming, one must first become aware of how the transfer of heat works onEarth, what is most commonly referred
to as the "heat budget" [ ]. In order to maintain the steady average of 59 degrees Fahrenheit on this planet, the radiations coming in from the sun must
be at the same level as radiations going out. From this heat exchange, radiations are then responsible for the cooling and heating of planet Earth. The
role of the atmosphere is to

rays pass through the atmosphere, it is absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules into the Earth's surface, then re–emitted in all directions. This is also
known as the natural greenhouse effect. By maintaining this process, the Earth is able to provide enough warmth as well as sustain heat in the lower

Global warming is defined as the global increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere. According to NASA, January 2016 was the hottest
January as it was 1.13 degrees Celsius above the 1951–1980 average (Erdman, 2016). Humans participate in increasing the concentration of carbon
dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases that act like a blanket that traps the heat. And this appear from the combustion of fossil fuel and the
different industries which release a large amount of CO2. Moreover, cutting millions of trees to provide there different needs such as: papers and
furniture. In fact, trees play a critical role in decreasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere through using it in the photosynthesis process. As
reported by Union of Concerned Scientists that CO2 today are 25% higher than in 1957. Due to the releasing of CO2 and chlorofluorocarbons to the
atmosphere that lead to ozone layer depletion, more sunlight is passing to the earth surface. In addition, the natural disaster has the role in rising the
temperature, for example: volcanoes. This essay will state the scientific problems of climate change and how it threatens the life of organisms. Also, it

Global Warming
What is global warming? Global warming is the increase of Earth's surface temperature and the atmosphere. Our use of energy affects the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is condensing due to the pollution we put in the air. This is a problem because it captures more heat from the sun's rays while rapidly
warming up the Earth's surface. The more the Earth warms up the more catastrophic disasters are sure to come, affecting people, animals, and the entire
world. Many people ignore the effects of global warming which has caused the rapid increase of the Earth's temperature.
Global warming is a huge issue but it can be slowed down by reducing the amount of emission into the atmosphere. Reducing the amount of emission in
to the atmosphere prevents greenhouse gases forming in the atmosphere, slows down the rapid increase of the Earth's temperature and it helps stop the
migration of animals and the spread of disease.
When the sunlight reaches the Earth's surface most of it is radiated back to the atmosphere while some of it is absorbed and warms the earth. The
absorption of the radiant energy warms the atmosphere. The greenhouses gases reflect back to the Earth some of the heat which would have been lost
to space.
The reflecting back of heat energy by the atmosphere is called the "greenhouse effect". Due to global warming the ice is melting in polar ice caps and
mountain glaciers. When polar ice caps melt the sea level increases and the water becomes less saline. Warmer

As temperature increases, oceans get warmer. The warmer the oceans, the more CO2 they emit. "When you warm the ocean up, just like warming up
a Coke bottle, it drives the gas out" (Zukerman). Now a day, considering that global temperatures are increasing constantly, oceans emit more CO2
than they did before. Volcanoes are a significant source of CO2 emission. "Volcanoes produce more CO2 each year than all the factories and cars, and
planes, and all the man–made sources put together" (The Great Global Warming Swindle). Animals and plants, like humans, emit CO2 during their
respiration process. Although we humans emit a big amount of CO2 on a daily basis, we are not the main source given that natural sources produce
much more than us. Throughout history, Earth has had variations in climate during different periods of time. Many of these climate changes show no
relation at all to human activities, and "we are told that the Earth climate is changing, but EarthВґs climate is always changing" (The Great Global
Warming Swindle). It is scientifically proven that when sunspots (black spots that appear in the sunВґs surface) increase, global temperature also does.
Data collected and charts made by a group of scientists show that there is a higher correlation of sunspots and global temperature than there is on CO2

The Causes Of Global Warming
What is global warming? Global warming is the average temperature of Earth has increased since 1950 until now the temperature continuing increasing.
Global warming can also refers to climate change that causes an increase in the average of temperature. However global warming are caused by natural
events and human that are believed to be contribute to increase in average temperatures.
The climate has continuously changing for centuries. The global warming happens because the natural rotation of the sun that changes the intensity of
sunlight and moving closer to the earth.
Another cause of global warming is greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide it trap the solar heats rays and
prevent it from escaping from the surface of the earth. This has cause the temperature of the earth increase.
Volcanic eruptions are another issue that causes global warming. For instance, a single volcanic eruption will release amount ofcarbon dioxide and ash
to the atmosphere. Once carbon dioxide increase, the temperature of earth increase and greenhouse trap the solar radiations in the earth.
Finally, methane is another issue that causes global warming. Methane is also a greenhouse gas. Methane is more effective in trapping heat in the
atmosphere that carbon dioxide by 20 times. Usually methane gas can release from many areas. For instance, it can be from cattle, landfill, natural gas,
petroleum systems, coal mining, mobile explosion, or industrial waste process.

Democrats are also more likely to target and blame carbon emissions on the rising temperatures. Nevertheless, William McDonough, a famous urban
planner, says that targeting carbon is a purely political move. Further, carbon should be a useful resource for humans, and an imbalanced carbon cycle

International Efforts Today global warming is an international challenge and needs global strategies to prevent it.Greenhouse gas emanation has the
same effect on the climate whether they occur in London, Washington, or Dhaka. As a result, steps taken by one country to minimize emissions will
result slight to decelerate global warming except other countries so something as well. Eventually, an effective plan will need action and dedication
from all countries with major emission. In this regard, the international reaction to the change in atmosphere was started in 1992 with the agreement
on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 2. The purpose of this convention was to become stable with efforts
on greenhouse gases to keep it on constant level in order to restrict risky anthropogenic intervention with the atmosphere system. Again, by realizing
that stronger plan was required, global countries discussed the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which starts working on 16, Feb, 2005. In this convention
countries agreed "to reduce emission by 5.4% in 2012 in comparison of 1990 emission level" 2. To control global warming, in 2003, the Pew Center

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's surface. Since the late 1800's, the global average temperature has increased about
0.7 to 1.4 degrees F (0.4 to 0.8degree C). Climate change is happening and its effects are real. However, the larger the change in climate, the more
negative the consequences will become. Global warming will make life harder for most people .When the carbon–dioxide level doubles, the temperature
will go up by 5 degree Celsius. It would lead to melting of polar ice caps, rise in sea level and there would be dramatic changes in the map of the world.

Unfortunately, global warming is endangering those water sources. Glaciers are melting more quickly, this rapid melting can mean floods in the spring
and drought in the late summer because the water has drained away. Hence, there will be threats to human health; tropical disease such as malaria
might spread to larger regions. Heat waves can cause more death and illness, and Floods and drought can increase hunger and malnutrition. Due to
global warming, crop yield could decline. Therefore, yield in the tropics might fall because the temperature there is too high for many plants to tolerate.
Everyone can participate in reducing global warming. Alternate energy sources that do not emit carbon–dioxide and that can convert the sunlight, wind

Causes Of Global Warming
Global Warming
What is it?
Global warming is when the average global temperature increases. The global temperature has increased to the fastest ever recorded rate in history in
the past half century. Climate changes like global warming is the result of human practices like the emission of Greenhouse gases. Global warming
leads to rising temperatures of the ground and oceans causing melting of polar ice caps, a rise in sea levels as well as unnatural patterns of
precipitation such as flash floods, excessive snow or desertification.
Why does it occur?
The main cause of global warming is due to greenhouse gases as well as other air pollutants that collect in the atmosphere. Sunlight and solar radiation
that should have bounced off the earth's surface is absorbed by these pollutants. If the pollutants weren't in the atmosphere, radiation would escape into
space. Pollutants are known to last as long as centuries within the atmosphere, they trap heat and in turn cause the planet to overheat. This is the
greenhouse effect; the greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming.
How do you know Global warming occurs?
There are 10 main indicators of Global Warming, these indicators are; land surface temperature, sea surface temperature, air temperature over the
oceans, lower troposphere temperature, ocean heat content, sea level, humidity, glaciers, the Northern Hemisphere snow cover and sea ice.
Temperatures (Land, sea, air, lower troposphere) have all rose to the highest recorded in history in the last decade. This has caused the humidity to
increase as well as the ocean heat content, because of the increase in humidity, glaciers and snow covers have been melting and due to ocean heat
content sea ice levels have decreased.
Who it affects and negative effects.
Global warming affects everyone. It affects our environment, the place we call home, and in turn it affects us. Humans can't function without the
environment, we rely on the environment for food, for water, and as our home.
An increase in temperature can cause serious issues in agriculture, there has been a struggle to maintain the specific conditions crops need in order to

warming is affecting the world economy, the overall health of the population, and most importantly the environment that surrounds us. Ignoring this
problem will not just make it suddenly disappear; the world has to make an effort to stop it while it can still be maintained. Accepting the fact that it is
happening is just the first step, the next step is taking action and becoming informed on the issue. Leaders from all around the world are discussing the
topic of how global warming is happening and what toll it is taking on the world (Pew Global). They met in Copenhagen to discuss the changing of
the climate (Pew Global). They came to the conclusion that they are willing to sacrifice a little to confront the issue of global warming (Pew

The Threat Of Global Warming
For decades, scientists have been warning world governments about the threat that global warming poses to life on Earth. The scientists have raised
the alarm numerous times, even as the effects become noticeable today. But why then, as the effects of global warming are becoming more obvious as
time passes, have countries like the US, Australia, and Canada done nothing to address the problem? As Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and other
pacific island nations sink due to rising seas perpetuated by global warming, these countries have been accelerating the demise of these small island
nations by not only refusing to address the problem of climate change, but by throwing gasoline at the fire as they embrace dirtier sources of fossil
fuels. The answer to why there's inaction on global warming lies on the internal situation of these nations, which have similar things in common, such
as concern that taking action to mitigate global warming would have devastating effects on their respective country's economies, but most importantly,
because of the lack of interest by the public to deal with the problem, which is only being worsened by a disinformation campaign being led by fossil
fuels companies. When NASA climatologist James Hansen raised the alarm about greenhouse warming in his famous senate testimony in 1988, there

One of the scariest things about global warming is its ability to dramatically affect our way of life if we do not curb our greenhouse emissions. Sea
levels can rise drastically, spilling over into the land where people, plants, and animals live in. The polar ice caps can melt, also causing massive
destruction, and much less habitable land will be available for people and animals to live on. To that end, it is absolutely vital that we take changes to
minimize our emissions and environmental impact so that Global warming can somehow be reversed and even fixed for the continuation of life on the
planet.
On an individual level, there are many things that people including myself can do to minimize the effects of global warming. Many of these things
more or less add up to simply using less power and fewer non–biodegradable goods. Turning off lights when they are not being used, investing in more

one aspect that the scientific community seems to agree on is the fact that since the mid to late 19th century, just prior to the Industrial Age, theearth

burning fossil fuels, and speculate that this tendency will wreak devastating consequences on the earth due to this fact. On the other side of the debate
lies those who state that these perceived effects of global warming is a hoax, as is the effect of humanity on the earth's average median temperature,

Global Warming And The Warming
Global warming has become a well conversed topic among scientists and peoples in the world today. There are extremists who do everything
possible to stop contributing to the warming, but the average person does little to alleviate the issue and in many cases refuses to acknowledge that
there is a problem at all. Dating back to millions of years ago, even before humanity was born, the world has always experienced one form or another
of warming; so the warming seen today is not as bizarre as many may think. The prevalent saying that history often repeats itself, is no joke when
discussing global warming. As to what is kindling the current warming, that is where a query is imposed. Scientists from around the globe have
theorized close to every possible contributor to the warming seen today, and the conclusion that present occurrences of global warming are being

On the other hand industries release various gases into the water and air. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide are the major greenhouse gases.
Different gases have different heat trapping capabilities. Some of them trap more heat than carbon dioxide. Methane is much more effective then
carbon dioxide in entrapping heat in the atmosphere. By driving cars, using electricity from coal fired plants and heating up our homes from natural
gases, we release carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases in the atmosphere. 2. Deforestation
Deforestation is the cutting down of trees and plants to make way for any development activity. Carbon dioxide is the air that our body lets out
when we breathe. Trees take in this carbon dioxide and release oxygen that we breathe in. With the cutting down of more and more trees is leading
to greater concentration of carbon dioxide in the air. Deforestation is blamed for rise in the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere by cutting or
burning them. New development projects, requirement of land for homes and factories, requirement for wood and also soil erosion are the major
factors that are causing deforestation, which in turn leading to global warming. 3. Landfills When we throw garbage out of our house it goes to

We hear it so much that it feels like a buzzword. But it is far from it. Climate change is arguably the most critical and controversial topic of the 21st
century. The words "climate change" and "global warming" are used interchangeably by people who lack the proper understanding to decipher between
the two similar words. Global warming refers only to the Earth's rising surface temperature, while climate change includes warming and the "side
effects" of warming–like melting glaciers, heavier rainstorms, or more frequent drought. In layman's terms global warming is a symptom or a
byproduct of a larger problem of human–caused climate change.

Water vapor is believed to increase surface warming because its concentrations depend on the heat generated by other greenhouse gases. All of these
gases are being emitted to the atmosphere at alarming rates because the human population, scale of energy use, industrial activity, and agriculture are
growing drastically.
Greenhouse gases come from such mainstays of modern life as electrical power plants, automobiles, and heavy industry. Growing consumption of fuel
by less efficient cars and light trucks suggests that motor vehicles may soon overtake industry as the largest source of gases suspected of causing global
warming by effectively creating a greenhouse around the Earth. Many people do not want to decrease their standard of living by reducing their
consumption of fossil fuels. These people do not realize that if they reduce their consumption, there will be a reduction in the amount of greenhouse
gases. If this does not happen and global warming continues, the long–term effects may be catastrophic.
One of the most serious effects of global warming, as it continues to intensify, is the increase in the ocean levels. Thermal expansion of the ocean

The Discovery Of Global Warming
Did you know that global warming is real and extremely dangerous for our environment? Today, there are a variety of environmental problems that
affect our entire world; some of them include rain forest destruction, air pollution, land pollution, acid rain, and over population. However, out of all
these problems, Global warming is the major problem that exists in our environment. According to Merriam Webster's dictionary, global warming is an
increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature due to which the climate changes. This is caused by the greenhouse effect, where the
atmosphere builds up by gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, and the heat from the sun stays in the atmosphere, which rises the temperature on
earth. Each year, we see natural disasters that affect our environment and kill many innocent people. For instance, in April 2011, Japan was hit by
earthquake that took away thousands of lives and destroyed everything. If we ignore the facts now, then the consequence could be catastrophic. Since
many past years, global warming has been a problem with many causes along with effects, and it is time to solve this problem before it devastates our
whole world. Global warming is a problem that has been around since many years, and has occurred many times in the Earth's history. According to an

Global Warming And Global Warming
Carbon and Carbon dioxide create global warming when we break carbon bonds. Carbon is what scientist call a social atom; meaning it does not
like to be alone. So, when carbon bonds are broken it looks for a new partner to grab onto. As it turns out the most desirable partner is oxygen,
because it is such a stable, settled atom making it a perfect partner with carbon. However, carbon doesn't like to just grab one oxygen atom it likes to
grab two oxygen atoms, thus making carbon dioxide. The partnership makes it extremely hard to break this bond. CO2 then floats in the air where it
will be eaten by trees or absorbed by the oceans when it rains. The problem that has occurred is that we are adding more CO2 into the atmosphere then
the trees and oceans can effectively remove from the atmosphere. The direct result is that there is more CO2 in the atmosphere thus creating what
scientist call a "greenhouse effect." The greenhouse effect occurs when the sun rays bounce off the surface of the earth and back into the sky. When the
sun rays hit the CO2 molecules they don't break their bond because it's almost impossible to break, they instead heat up, thus warming the air, which
then warms the oceans, melts glaciers, and we can keep going on the domino effect this has.
What can be done to stop global warming is create less CO2. One problem with that statement is that carbon is the central element of life, since it is
pretty much in everything that is alive, stopping global warming will be a huge challenge. The most obvious way to use less carbon is to start with
using alternative energies like solar, nuclear, and wind are just a few popular examples. A more challenging way is to invent a way to capture Co2
from smokestack emissions, the sky, or any other place CO2 is omitted then stick it directly into the ground until a time when scientist can find ways to
break the bond or use the energy cleanly without harming the atmosphere. This type of removal of CO2 is called carbon sequestration. Ensuring the
preservation of the earths rain forests, so that there are more trees to eat away the CO2.

Warming And Global Warming

  • 1. Warming And Global Warming Climate change and global warming is not a myth or a faux like most people believe, they are real and it's affecting everyone in the world. Even if they don't realize it right now, they soon will. Climate change and global warming are caused by human activity. Global warming and climate change is not just a phase and not enough is being done to stop it and to help save our earth's natural resources like our water, air, and soil. Climate change and global warming are affecting our air quality, by the burning of fossil fuel, exhaust from factories and wildfires. The burning of fossil fuel causes the release of sulfur dioxide(SO2) into our atmosphere, which is a toxic gas and is harmful to the respiratory system. The United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) states " High concentration of SO2 in the air generally also leads to the formation of other sulfur oxides SO2 ". This is trying to say that with the formation of other sulfur oxides can cause more harm than the SO2 because other sulfur oxides cause the formation of small particles that can penetrate more deeply into our lungs and cause major health problems. Not only does it affect us human but it also affects the environment. Wildfires caused by global warming also affect our air quality since they release tons of carbon dioxide into the air. In recent events, throughout the Los Angeles and Ventura areas had 4 wildfires in the same week. In Justin Worland Article from Time called What's Making California's ...

  • 2. Environmental Warming In Global Warming Summary: In wake of impending climate change impacts, the scientific community has taken it upon themselves to reverse engineer the predicted negative impacts. Since the 1990's, geoengineering, or the addition of aerosols into the stratosphere, has been proposed to halt the warming of our climate. The main issue with injecting microscopic aerosols into our atmosphere is that the ozone layer would respond negatively. Since the 1990's, studies have concluded that injecting sulfate aerosols will lead to a general decrease in ozone concentrations (Pitari et. al 2014). In Pitari et. al 2014, "Stratospheric ozone response to sulfate geoengineering: Results from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP)", multiple simulations... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... With respect to the ozone response to stratospheric geoengineering, we now have new information that will need to be further investigated outside of computer simulations to determine the true impact of stratospheric geoengineering on the ozone layer. Similarities and differences between Pitari et. al 2014 and Keith et. al 2016 Both research papers aim to negate the potentially negative impacts of stratospheric geoengineering. They both conclude that in computer model simulations, sulfate aerosols will ultimately damage the ozone layer. Keith et. al 2016 concludes that using calcite aerosols could have significantly less environmental risks, such as less ozone depletion, claiming the need for more extensive research beyond the traditional mindset that is stuck on sulfate aerosols. Both papers exclusively used computer modeling, Pitari et. al 2014 used ULAQ–CCM, MIROC–ESM–CHEM, and GEOSCCM, while Keith et. al 2016 used AER 2–D, RRTM, and hand computing chemical reactions. Heterogeneous chemical reactions occurring on the surface of sulfate and calcite aerosols were computed using ULAQ–CCM, MIROC–ESM–CHEM, GEOSCCM and AER 2–D. The models differ in the sense that AER 2–D was used to differentiate the heterogeneous chemical ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Global Warming. Global Warming Is Defined As A Gradual Global Warming Global warming is defined as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere. (Google definition). The warming is generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants in the atmosphere. There is overwhelming evidence to support the existence of global warming, its cause and the time is how to act to reduce green houses gasses. Human activity is the major cause for global warming. Greenhouse gases (CO2) are directly caused by human consumption and burning of fossil fuels. When we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum, carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat–trapping greenhouse gasses are released into ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It has long been recognized dating back to 1859. The greenhouse effect more commonly known as global warming has become one of the hottest contested issues of our time. Culminating in 2007 when former Vice President Al Gore advocated in a documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" that humans caused climate change is real and without immediate action to reduce greenhouse gasses, major climate changes will occur leading to a possible collapse of the industrial world. This documentary has been seen by over 5 million people worldwide and given Vice President Gore's standing, his name has increased awareness of global warming. Proponents of global warming and former Vice President Gore advocate that the evidence of global warming and its effects are all around us. For instance, between 2003 and 2009 due to slight temperature increases, the Himalayan glaciers lost an estimated 174 gigatons of water. This melting contributed to catastrophic floods of the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. Global warming has also contributed to the reduced size of the Arctic ice cap. As the Arctic ice cap shrinks it reflects less of the suns energy causing air and water temperatures to rise. According to the glacier monitoring service, since 1980 worldwide glaciers have lost nearly 40 feet. In addition to the melting glaciers, the bizarre weather patterns we are having demonstrate that radical changes in the atmosphere are occurring. Torrential rains in Colorado, flooding in ...

Third Main Point: Global warming can be stopped if we take action now. Sub point: Larry West author of What is the Greenhouse Effect states the following: We need to do our part to reduce waste by using reusable products instead of disposable. Whenever possible we need to recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. By recycling our household waste, we can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually. Sub–sub–point: We need to use less heat and air conditioning, by adding insulation and installing weather stripping or caulking around doors and windows. By setting your thermostat 2 degrees lower in winter and higher in the summer we can save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Sub–sub–point: We need to replace our light bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs, (CFL, Compact Fluorescent Light) if every U.S. family did this we would eliminate 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gases which would be equivalent to 7.5 million cars off the roads. Supporting Point: We need to buy energy efficient products like cars and household appliances. If possible use less hot water and set your water heater to 120 degrees, this will save 500 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

Global Warming Both A Time For Change and A Change In Time The disastrous change in weather, a dangerous impact on animal species, and the increase in the depletion of resources, all caused the changes in the Earth's increasing temperatures. Global Warming is a prominent reason why the U.S should go further to address the world–wide conflict, not only for the sake of the common good for humans and other animals respectively, but for the Earth itself. Over the past decade, this controversial topic has grown very rapidly to come to the attention of many world powers, these of which include both the U.S and China, two of the main facilitators to this problem. Global Warming can be primarily described to be caused by major factors such as the emission of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The China Statistical Yearbook published that for the year 2015, China had an estimated 2,801,143 factories in the nation, approximately ten times the amount in the U.S. Overall, the increase of CO2 is establishing a much warmer environment than in the past decades, something that can be easily identified by the amount of heat increasing within the oceans and thus influencing surface temperatures both in Earth's northern and southern hemispheres. A key impact presented with Global Warming is this gradual increase in temperatures and change inclimate. Many of the changes are duly noticeable in the U.S, where states such as California have declared the presence of a drought and weather can be seen to be very sporadic. Indeed, this change is affecting many people in the U.S, particularly in areas of agriculture where some farmers have had numerous problems cultivating and harvesting crops, leading to failures in the regular supply of foods. But this change is not only affecting humans, but largely animals as well, with many such as polar bears and fish have suffered due to the change in ocean temperature. Polar Bears have seen a dramatic loss of their habitable environments, whereas the polar ice caps in the Arctic rapidly melting, and the fish in the Pacific Ocean have seen a decrease in population due to excess fishing and the warming of the oceans. ...

  • 8. Global Warming Vs Global Warming When you hear the word Climate Change, what do you think of? Some people have discussed this topic for many years. It is described as an average temperature of the Earth's climate, which many studies have shown the climate system has been warming. Climate change exists, and it has thrown an effect on animals, humans and things. It has been proven by scientific research that it is a threat on civilization. For many of years the scientist and the government has been hiding how dangerous the climate change really is and, how it's effecting our world as a nation. There is many research have shown that there is a debate of climate and has been a global threat for humanity. Research has suggested that climate change is a valid argument, by discussing what climate change versus what global warming is together. There is various of research that explains the fact that they are both different in many ways. In the article, "Global Warming and Climate Change" it has explained that climate and global change are two various changes. With, climate change is earth's temperature, clouds and winds over time. As Global change is warming over time with gases and temperature with greenhouse gases. ".

  • 9. Global Warming Global Warming In recent years, global climate change due to global warming has been largely researched. The paper, "Global Climate Change Triggered by Global Warming," offers compelling evidence from various scientific papers that the process of Earth's climate undergoing significant change has already begun and requires our attention due to the probability that human–generated greenhouse gases are the primary cause. Major focal points are shifting towards determining the causes to mitigate the effects rather than establishing the existence as sufficient amount of evidence has proven that global warming is indisputable. During the final decade of the 20th century, climatologists have concluded that the past millennium to be the warmest, especially in the year of 2005. Solutions towards the cause would require assistance from the population as a whole. An example of a catastrophic climate change is a period known as the "Younger Dryas," an epoch in time when the mean global surface temperature dropped drastically in a couple of decades and lasted for one millennium. Although the circumstance of the Younger Dryas is quite different compared to the present, it shows how cataclysmic a drastic climate change could enforce. Two important or major definitions presented in the work are mean global surface temperature and (global) climate. Mean global surface temperature is defined as "average of the air temperature measured at the land surface and of the surface water temperature measured over large bodies of water" (Jordan, 2006, p. 159). As for global climate, according to Jordan (2006), "the average of the global weather...over a time interval appropriate to the rate at which the climate is changing" is the best definition. These two terms appear frequently throughout, which shows the significance of comprehending the meaning as it relates to the argument and explanation. Arguments on the veritable source of action outlined in the paper are the sun, the long–term quazi–periodic process, the urban heat–island effect, and the greenhouse effect. Most of the cases on the natural force have been rejected or eradicated, such as the sun, due to contradicting evidence found by further research on the hypotheses stated. The most ...

This HD screen is designed to show the process of the discussion about "What's really warming the world? " through NASA's visualization model. Global warming, one of the hottest climate topics all around the world in the past few years, is the observed century–scale average temperature rise and related effects. Start from 1880, the average temperature rises around 1.4℉ in the following 130 years. The speed of increasing temperature is actually double in the past 50 years than the past 100 years. As a result, increase temperature accelerated the speed of glacier melting and increased ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although the greenhouse gas might contribute a little to the climate change, human industry emits more than 100 times of gas than the volcanos. In other words, the effect of volcanos cannot account for the change of temperature. Moreover, the add up of these three natural factors also shows that even though these natural phenomena fluctuate in the past century, the observed temperature increase does not match their changes. Then the research starts to consider the factors besides the natural factors but human factors, such as deforestation, ozone pollution, and aerosol pollution. Deforestation pointed out that people have cut and plowed more than half of the land surface on earth in the past hundred years. That fewer trees and plants absorb less carbon dioxide emitted by human activities and greenhouse gas is left in the atmosphere is the reason for it to be a candidate for global warming. On contrast, although carbon dioxide is less transformed to oxygen by plants, the forests after cutting trees actually cause cooling effect because they are lighter than before to reflect more sunlights. For ozone pollution, it is true to be able to block sunlight and make climate hotter, but the overall effect is not obvious enough to say that it is in charge of the change. Similar to the deforestation effect, aerosol pollution, which means microscopic particles, such as ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Warming Vs Global Warming Climate Change vs. Global Warming The fact is that in the farthest reaches of the north and south, there is a nightmare becoming a reality that must be clearly understood. In order to understand this rising threat at hand, it is important to clarify the common terms of climate change and global warming that the crumbling of ice is most often referred to. Climate change is the overarching term that is used to encompass changes that are occurring to the planet such as global warming, sea level rise, glaciers dissolving, and ice sheets disappearances. While climate change refers a broad range of changes, these changes are mostly consequences that result from global warming. Global warming is the term within the climate change category that was first used by scientists to refer to the phenomenon of the constant warming of the planet as a result of excess amounts of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. More often than not, climate change and global warming are terms that can be used interchangeably but strictly speaking they do not mean the same thing. Heat Transfer To understand global warming, one must first become aware of how the transfer of heat works onEarth, what is most commonly referred to as the "heat budget" [ ]. In order to maintain the steady average of 59 degrees Fahrenheit on this planet, the radiations coming in from the sun must be at the same level as radiations going out. From this heat exchange, radiations are then responsible for the cooling and heating of planet Earth. The role of the atmosphere is to Figure 1: Natural Green House Effect reflect, absorb, and direct the incoming radiations from the sun's rays through space. As depicted in Figure 1, the rays pass through the atmosphere, it is absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules into the Earth's surface, then re–emitted in all directions. This is also known as the natural greenhouse effect. By maintaining this process, the Earth is able to provide enough warmth as well as sustain heat in the lower atmosphere, exactly like a blanket. Relating back to the topic at hand, seawater and ice on the planet are the ones most responsible for doing the this reflecting. The ocean water and polar ice help reflect the incoming ...

According to NASA, January 2016 was the hottest January as it was 1.13 degrees Celsius above the 1951–1980 average (Erdman, 2016). Humans participate in increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases that act like a blanket that traps the heat. And this appear from the combustion of fossil fuel and the different industries which release a large amount of CO2. Moreover, cutting millions of trees to provide there different needs such as: papers and furniture. In fact, trees play a critical role in decreasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere through using it in the photosynthesis process. As reported by Union of Concerned Scientists that CO2 today are 25% higher than in 1957. Due to the releasing of CO2 and chlorofluorocarbons to the atmosphere that lead to ozone layer depletion, more sunlight is passing to the earth surface. In addition, the natural disaster has the role in rising the temperature, for example: volcanoes. This essay will state the scientific problems of climate change and how it threatens the life of organisms. Also, it will suggest solutions for this problem.

  • 13. Global Warming Global Warming What is global warming? Global warming is the increase of Earth's surface temperature and the atmosphere. Our use of energy affects the atmosphere. The atmosphere is condensing due to the pollution we put in the air. This is a problem because it captures more heat from the sun's rays while rapidly warming up the Earth's surface. The more the Earth warms up the more catastrophic disasters are sure to come, affecting people, animals, and the entire world. Many people ignore the effects of global warming which has caused the rapid increase of the Earth's temperature. Global warming is a huge issue but it can be slowed down by reducing the amount of emission into the atmosphere. Reducing the amount of emission in to the atmosphere prevents greenhouse gases forming in the atmosphere, slows down the rapid increase of the Earth's temperature and it helps stop the migration of animals and the spread of disease. When the sunlight reaches the Earth's surface most of it is radiated back to the atmosphere while some of it is absorbed and warms the earth. The absorption of the radiant energy warms the atmosphere. The greenhouses gases reflect back to the Earth some of the heat which would have been lost to space. The reflecting back of heat energy by the atmosphere is called the "greenhouse effect". Due to global warming the ice is melting in polar ice caps and mountain glaciers. When polar ice caps melt the sea level increases and the water becomes less saline. Warmer ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The warmer the oceans, the more CO2 they emit. "When you warm the ocean up, just like warming up a Coke bottle, it drives the gas out" (Zukerman). Now a day, considering that global temperatures are increasing constantly, oceans emit more CO2 than they did before. Volcanoes are a significant source of CO2 emission. "Volcanoes produce more CO2 each year than all the factories and cars, and planes, and all the man–made sources put together" (The Great Global Warming Swindle). Animals and plants, like humans, emit CO2 during their respiration process. Although we humans emit a big amount of CO2 on a daily basis, we are not the main source given that natural sources produce much more than us.

However global warming are caused by natural events and human that are believed to be contribute to increase in average temperatures. The climate has continuously changing for centuries. The global warming happens because the natural rotation of the sun that changes the intensity of sunlight and moving closer to the earth. Another cause of global warming is greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide it trap the solar heats rays and prevent it from escaping from the surface of the earth. This has cause the temperature of the earth increase. Volcanic eruptions are another issue that causes global warming. For instance, a single volcanic eruption will release amount ofcarbon dioxide and ash to the atmosphere. Once carbon dioxide increase, the temperature of earth increase and greenhouse trap the solar radiations in the earth. Finally, methane is another issue that causes global warming. Methane is also a greenhouse gas. Methane is more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere that carbon dioxide by 20 times. Usually methane gas can release from many areas.

  • 24. Causes Of Global Warming Global Warming What is it? Global warming is when the average global temperature increases. The global temperature has increased to the fastest ever recorded rate in history in the past half century. Climate changes like global warming is the result of human practices like the emission of Greenhouse gases. Global warming leads to rising temperatures of the ground and oceans causing melting of polar ice caps, a rise in sea levels as well as unnatural patterns of precipitation such as flash floods, excessive snow or desertification. Why does it occur? The main cause of global warming is due to greenhouse gases as well as other air pollutants that collect in the atmosphere. Sunlight and solar radiation that should have bounced off the earth's surface is absorbed by these pollutants. If the pollutants weren't in the atmosphere, radiation would escape into space. Pollutants are known to last as long as centuries within the atmosphere, they trap heat and in turn cause the planet to overheat. This is the greenhouse effect; the greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming. How do you know Global warming occurs? There are 10 main indicators of Global Warming, these indicators are; land surface temperature, sea surface temperature, air temperature over the oceans, lower troposphere temperature, ocean heat content, sea level, humidity, glaciers, the Northern Hemisphere snow cover and sea ice. Temperatures (Land, sea, air, lower troposphere) have all rose to the highest recorded in history in the last decade. This has caused the humidity to increase as well as the ocean heat content, because of the increase in humidity, glaciers and snow covers have been melting and due to ocean heat content sea ice levels have decreased.

  • 34. A Solution to Global Warming Human beings are the advanced species on the earth. The ability of our ancestors to think outside of the box is the reason why humans are the most dominant species. Once upon a time humans were same as the wild animals. The daily chore for human from the past was to hunt, eat, and survive. At present, the life of human beings is more convenient with all the inventions like cars and air conditioners. These inventions have made our lives easier but have also helped to cause global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide from these machines in the atmosphere causes global warming. Global warming, defined by Oxford dictionary is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse ...

Developed countries are more likely responsible to produce more CO2 than the developing countries because they use too much technology that produce such gases. The people of both of the countries can be taught about the importance of trees in their junior level education or the awareness message can be broadcasted through the communication media. The people of the rural parts of developing countries can be helped by the organizations like COTAP. COTAP stands for Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty. This organization teaches the rural people of developing countries about the necessity of the forest and how they can benefit from it. This solution is easy to implement but is a little costly because the organizations such as COTAP need donation money to achieve their respective destinations. Other solutions for the global warming include reduction in the use of electricity and increasing the vehicle's fuel efficiency. These two solutions have their promises to reduce global warming but these two solutions seems inferior to planting the trees. The common thing about these solutions is that they both have the same source to deliver the public awareness, and both solutions tend to conserve environment and save money. The reduction in the use of electricity and increasing the vehicle's fuel efficiency are limited to those countries or places with cars and electricity; but what about the places without these ...

  • 35. Global Warming : A Global Issue Global Warming: A Global Issue Global Warming has many opposing viewpoints. Some people might say that it is not a big deal and others say that it is a very important issue. In my opinion, it is critical that we pay attention to this issue and take it seriously, as well as take action. It is important that we, as humans try to help slow down the process of the Earth warming. There are many factors contributing to global warming. Humans are a huge part of it, and we might not even know it. A great amount of daily human activities supply large quantities ofcarbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which is the main reason for the increasing global temperature. Global warming is responsible for many disastrous environmental changes. The Earth is heating up and it is taking a huge toll on the environment, animals, and humans. Everyday humans contribute to global warming and they might even know it. Daily human activities like driving a car, operating a machine, and burning wood release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and as a result causes the global climate to warm. I know that I contribute to global warming every single day by just riding or driving a car. Robert T. Watson, whom is an associate director for environment in the White House office of science and technology, believes that global warming is largely caused by human activities that increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which presents a serious environmental threat.

On the other hand industries release various gases into the water and air. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide are the major greenhouse gases. Different gases have different heat trapping capabilities. Some of them trap more heat than carbon dioxide. Methane is much more effective then carbon dioxide in entrapping heat in the atmosphere. By driving cars, using electricity from coal fired plants and heating up our homes from natural gases, we release carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases in the atmosphere. 2. Deforestation Deforestation is the cutting down of trees and plants to make way for any development activity. Carbon dioxide is the air that our body lets out when we breathe. Trees take in this carbon dioxide and release oxygen that we breathe in. With the cutting down of more and more trees is leading to greater concentration of carbon dioxide in the air. Deforestation is blamed for rise in the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere by cutting or burning them. New development projects, requirement of land for homes and factories, requirement for wood and also soil erosion are the major factors that are causing deforestation, which in turn leading to global warming. 3. Landfills When we throw garbage out of our house it goes to landfills.

  • 37. Essay On Global Warming And Global Warming We hear it so much that it feels like a buzzword. But it is far from it. Climate change is arguably the most critical and controversial topic of the 21st century. The words "climate change" and "global warming" are used interchangeably by people who lack the proper understanding to decipher between the two similar words. Global warming refers only to the Earth's rising surface temperature, while climate change includes warming and the "side effects" of warming–like melting glaciers, heavier rainstorms, or more frequent drought. In layman's terms global warming is a symptom or a byproduct of a larger problem of human–caused climate change. Climate change denier come in many forms. Some including the current president Donald J. Trump who argue that the entire situation is hoax fostered by delusional people. However, some do acknowledge that man–made carbon emission have contributed to the development of the warming, but not enough to justify their action and try to counter the impact. Donald Trump has repeatedly been saying that climate change and global warming is a hoax and believes that it is a "money making industry". Climate change as we know it today is characterized by an abrupt increase in the Earth's temperature. It has estimated to have gotten 1.2 to 1.4 degrees fahrenheit warmer in just the last century. 10 of the last 13 years were the warmest on record.One of climate changes biggest victim is our oceans. The sea level has risen 6 to 8 inches over a span of 1 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. Global Warming Through the eyes of most scientists, global warming is seen as a very serious and severe threat. The actions taken by humans, such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad. By the middle of the twenty first century, there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history, and quite possibly since the end of the dinosaurs, some 65 billion years ago. If we stay at the rate we our now (fossil fuel consumption / growth in population) then within the next two century the Earth's air might not be fit to breath. Many people in the world do not think ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Water vapor is believed to increase surface warming because its concentrations depend on the heat generated by other greenhouse gases. All of these gases are being emitted to the atmosphere at alarming rates because the human population, scale of energy use, industrial activity, and agriculture are growing drastically. Greenhouse gases come from such mainstays of modern life as electrical power plants, automobiles, and heavy industry. Growing consumption of fuel by less efficient cars and light trucks suggests that motor vehicles may soon overtake industry as the largest source of gases suspected of causing global warming by effectively creating a greenhouse around the Earth. Many people do not want to decrease their standard of living by reducing their consumption of fossil fuels. These people do not realize that if they reduce their consumption, there will be a reduction in the amount of greenhouse gases. If this does not happen and global warming continues, the long–term effects may be catastrophic. One of the most serious effects of global warming, as it continues to intensify, is the increase in the ocean levels. Thermal expansion of the ocean and glacial melting are likely to cause a .5 to 1.5 meter rise in the ocean level by the year 2100. As the ocean level rises and if no protection is provided, many freshwater supplies could be jeopardized. Tens and possibly hundreds of millions of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 39. The Discovery Of Global Warming Did you know that global warming is real and extremely dangerous for our environment? Today, there are a variety of environmental problems that affect our entire world; some of them include rain forest destruction, air pollution, land pollution, acid rain, and over population. However, out of all these problems, Global warming is the major problem that exists in our environment. According to Merriam Webster's dictionary, global warming is an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature due to which the climate changes. This is caused by the greenhouse effect, where the atmosphere builds up by gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, and the heat from the sun stays in the atmosphere, which rises the temperature on earth. Each year, we see natural disasters that affect our environment and kill many innocent people. For instance, in April 2011, Japan was hit by earthquake that took away thousands of lives and destroyed everything. If we ignore the facts now, then the consequence could be catastrophic. Since many past years, global warming has been a problem with many causes along with effects, and it is time to solve this problem before it devastates our whole world. Global warming is a problem that has been around since many years, and has occurred many times in the Earth's history. According to an article, entitled "The Discovery of Global Warming," the author, Piers hale states that the Global warming first started in the early nineteenth century when ice ages ...

  • 40. Global Warming And Global Warming Carbon and Carbon dioxide create global warming when we break carbon bonds. Carbon is what scientist call a social atom; meaning it does not like to be alone. So, when carbon bonds are broken it looks for a new partner to grab onto. As it turns out the most desirable partner is oxygen, because it is such a stable, settled atom making it a perfect partner with carbon. However, carbon doesn't like to just grab one oxygen atom it likes to grab two oxygen atoms, thus making carbon dioxide. The partnership makes it extremely hard to break this bond. CO2 then floats in the air where it will be eaten by trees or absorbed by the oceans when it rains. The problem that has occurred is that we are adding more CO2 into the atmosphere then the trees and oceans can effectively remove from the atmosphere. The direct result is that there is more CO2 in the atmosphere thus creating what scientist call a "greenhouse effect." The greenhouse effect occurs when the sun rays bounce off the surface of the earth and back into the sky. When the sun rays hit the CO2 molecules they don't break their bond because it's almost impossible to break, they instead heat up, thus warming the air, which then warms the oceans, melts glaciers, and we can keep going on the domino effect this has. What can be done to stop global warming is create less CO2. One problem with that statement is that carbon is the central element of life, since it is pretty much in everything that is alive, stopping global warming will be a huge challenge. The most obvious way to use less carbon is to start with using alternative energies like solar, nuclear, and wind are just a few popular examples. A more challenging way is to invent a way to capture Co2 from smokestack emissions, the sky, or any other place CO2 is omitted then stick it directly into the ground until a time when scientist can find ways to break the bond or use the energy cleanly without harming the atmosphere. This type of removal of CO2 is called carbon sequestration. Ensuring the preservation of the earths rain forests, so that there are more trees to eat away the CO2.
