Causes Of Global Warming
1,518 wordsGlobal Warming may not be on the tip of everyone's tongue, nor in the foremost part of their minds. In fact, Global Warming may not even exist. Yet its consideration is worth the taking since it could have profound impacts on the Earth, the only planetary home humans possess. Global Warming is, by the EPA definition, the progressive gradual rise of the earth's surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patters the term is most ...

Global Temperature
634 wordsGlobal Warming The main gases that cause the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2), and methane, which come naturally, mainly from animal manure. Other gases like nitrogen oxide and chlorofluorocarbons; man made gases, get caught in the atmosphere as well, also the decay of animals and respiration are two main natural sources of carbon dioxide. In my opinion, the people of the world should try to slow down the emission of man maid greenhouse gases and find ways to restore the ...

Climate Change In The Ecosystem
733 wordsToday, scientist argue over the consequences of global warming. Scientist say that the heating of the atmosphere can influence many health problems. Some of the related problems due to global warming are death to heat waves and other climate changes, and infectious diseases. With the atmosphere temperature rising, we all will be at risk. The climate not only harms our bodies, it can also harm our crops and waters. Floods and droughts associated with global warming can undermine our health in oth...

1998 Global Warming Global Warming
651 wordsEnglish 101 October 31, 1998 Global Warming Global Warming is an important ecological issue because it has several negative effects upon our environment. Global Warming, or what has been called the Greenhouse effect, is the result of a fourfold ecological process. 1-Sunlight radiates from the sun, through space, to Earth's atmosphere. 2- The sunlight enters the atmosphere and hits Earth. Some of it turns into heat energy in the form of infrared light. The heat gets absorbed by surrounding air an...

Issue Of Global Warming
1,072 wordsGLOBAL WARMING IS A GRAB FOR POWER Although Sowells article was interesting reading and had some good points in it, for me, it did not support its conclusion. That is that Washington wants to scare the population about Global Warming, so it can expand its power in answer to society demand to fix the problem. First, let us examine his reasons. He uses the analogy of Paulo vs. dog to suggest we have been conditioned to respond in a fearful way to the phrase Global Warming. It is true that we have ...

Global Warming And The Effects
1,047 wordsGlobal Warming Several issues concerning the environment are brought to the public's attention every year, but none has more of a direct effect on earth and its environment than global warming. Coincidentally it appears to be the least of the populations concern. Global warming is the theory that our planet is getting hotter due to an increase in the greenhouse effect brought about by the increase of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse gas...

Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions
414 wordsWhat is global warming? Scientists have discovered that concentrations of minor greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide are rising. Theoretically, these gases could trap more heat in the atmosphere, leading to a gradual warming of the Earth's atmosphere. And, again theoretically, global warming could be harmful to the environment and to human health. The treaty, called the Kyoto Protocol, would require the U.S. to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions primarily carbon dioxi...

Suvs
348 wordsGlobal Warming The works of Bill McKibbens have been an area of controversy. Mr. McKibbens argues that a major cause of global warming is the cars that people drive today. Now days it is not uncommon to see many SUVs around that are driven by people who have them so that they feel confident and know that they could potential go off road if the need would arise. Others argue that it is not a bad thing to drive SUVs for looks. The age of station wagons and vans have passed and now to fit the whole...

Increase In Greenhouse Gases
1,737 wordsThrough 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 ...

Current Effects Of Global Warming
2,231 wordsThis essay will address the question, what is global warming, and how is it affecting the Earth and its inhabitants Despite much media coverage of the role of human activity in the furthering of harmful global warming effects, the majority of the general public does not view global warming as a definite and imminent danger. Robert T. Watson supports this in his comment about society's failure to recognize the severity of a potential environmental disaster as a result of global warming. It is imp...

Warming Of The Earth
499 wordsGreen housing the Wrong Way By Andy & Luke Exactly what is the 'Greenhouse Effect?' The 'Greenhouse Effect' is the common name given to global warming. The effect is named so due to its similarities to the function of a greenhouse. Heat from the sun is allowed into our atmosphere, and then bounces off of the Earth and heads back out to space. But now that we have a wall of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and CFC's, the sun's heat rays bounce back towards the Earth. The continuous burning...

Melt Of Ice In The Arctic Region
508 wordsThe process of warmth circulating and the natural greenhouse effect are well balanced. Every change in the concentration of greenhouse gases leads to the aggravation of greenhouse effect which in turn leads to the aggravation of global warming. Global warming is increasing the melt of ice in the Arctic region. Today scientists do not challenge the destructive force of human activity. Now, they are deeply convinced that the slightest change in the ability of Earth to absorb warmth, including the ...

Carbon Dioxide Gases In The Atmosphere
2,313 wordsThe phenomenon described as global warming has been well studied and documented by researchers throughout the world for several years. It is a phenomenon that has the potential to destroy our planet and all life on it. This essay will briefly define global warming, provide evidence of global warming, outline the main causes of global warming and discuss both the known and potential impacts of global warming on the planet earth. Comments are also made concerning actions being taken as well as oth...

Adam Believes
1,318 wordsSkeptic or Believer- An Important Choice There is little doubt that the air's carbon dioxide concentrations have been increasing since the Industrial Revolution and there are few who do not attribute this increase to the rise in humanity's use of fossil fuels. There is also little dispute that the earth has warmed slightly over the same period.

Fossil Fuels Causes Carbon Dioxide Pollution
2,022 wordsFor years, scientists have warned that pollution from burning fossil fuels would cause dangerous warming of the planet. The hottest 10 years on record have all occurred since 1980.1998 was the hottest year ever recorded. With scientists predicting more violent weather, spread of infectious diseases, and rising sea levels.

Record Temperatures On Land
924 wordsMany people disagree on the issue concerning global warming. Some believe that human activities, various forms of polluting, are the main cause of global warming. Others think that not only have humans not affected the planet by any significant amount, but that not much global warming has even occurred. Many scientists think that pollution is the cause of global warming and the greenhouse effect. There is a lot of evidence to support this theory. In the United States alone, almost 15,000 pounds ...

Florida's Projected Global Warming
1,710 wordsGlobal temperatures on the Earth's surface have increased by 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit during the last century, faster than any time in the last 1000 years (Rauber 41). Consequently, the 1990's was the warmest decade in the last 1000 years ("Global Warming"). As humans emit fossil fuels, greenhouse gasses slowly warm the Earth's atmosphere ("EPA Global... ". ). This gradual process is known as global warming. As glaciers begin to melt, sea levels rise and coastal areas in Florida may suffer immense...
