Global warming is the constant increase of temperature in the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, greenhouse gases and many other pollutants. Chlorofluorocarbons are any type of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine which are harmful to the ozone layer. Global warming can affect many things, one example is the rising of temperature which can result in different types of disasters like storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts. Global
In 1987, the average global surface temperature was 0.33 degrees Celsius. In 2016, the average global surface temperature was 0.99 degrees Celsius. NASA states that “sixteen of the seventeen warmest years in the 136-year record all have occurred since 2001, with the exception of 1998.” NASA also states that 2016 is the warmest year on record. Global warming is becoming a bigger issue as time progresses. Global warming has to potential to cause devastating effects on Earth. Many people, though, don’t
Global Warming Global warming has often raised controversy within the last few years. Some agree that it’s an issue and others argue that it’s a hoax. Whatever one’s views global warming, keeping the world a cleaner place for future generations to enjoy should be a priority. Global warming is the result of the Earth’s global temperature rising, either through natural or man-made circumstances. Naturally, increased solar and volcanic activity are to blame. However, the biggest issues arise when humanity
Global warming, we see it as sad polar bears hopelessly swimming for their lives in the ocean. It's shown as rising sea levels that can washout entire cities. It even sometimes gets turned into politics but scientifically, what is the definition of global warming? It is the heating up the of Earth, caused by infrared radiation that gets stuck in our atmosphere because of the increase of CO2 put into the atmosphere. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation that cannot be seen by the human
belief or lack thereof on Global Warming: in a tweet, written November 6th 2012 he wrote “The concept of Global Warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to U.S manufacturing non-competitive.” Despite what this tweet may indicate, global warming is very real and the Chinese did not create it for their benefit. Unfortunately, Trump has still not seen the error in his words or thought it wise to pick up any scholarly article on the very real issue global warming is causing. Since being sworn
Global warming has been an issue for some time. Currently, the “hot topic” is being discussed as of late. Everyone is talking about it including celebrities and experts on the issue. There are those that have differing opinions, however. Both sides of the argument bring up very valid points, considering the state of which the planet is currently in, with factually based evidence to support both sides of the spectrum. I was given three references concerning the subject to global warming. One was the
Global Warming The Earth is changing on a constant basis, how much of that is caused by man-made pollutants and what are the effects we may feel if nothing is done to curve carbon dioxide emissions on a global scale? remains to be seen. Global warming is the increase of overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere which has been generally attributed to a massive increase in levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants contributed to the greenhouse effect. The increase in man-made pollutants has
The climate change debate discusses to the global controversy over whether global warming is occurring and what has caused it. It is believed by scientists worldwide, that anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases have caused an increase in global surface temperatures in recent decades (Sciences, 2013). Apart from a few bodies that hold non-committal positions, no scientific body of national or international status disagrees with this view (DiMento & Doughman, 2007). When investigating climates
There has been many research and large bodies of evidence that global warming is real and the global climate change is caused by that. As it mentioned in the article by Staurt D. Jordan this is a serious matter and it needs our awareness. There are many factors that contributes to global warming, it includes; human’s actions such as deforestation, burning fossil fuels, increase of greenhouse effect. Many scientists believe that 98% of climate change is because of human actions. This problem is not
Global Warming: A Hot Topic Amidst a Chilling Reality Earth provides life to all living beings and asks for very little in return. Earth gives fiery, red sunrises to help greet the new day and briny oceans of blue that extends as far as the eye can see. How does humanity repay the planet for such gifts? By degrading it. By poisoning it. By wounding it, and by depleting it of its resources that were never anybody's to own, but merely to borrow. Consumerism, industrialism, materialism, and a lack
