Global Warming And Its Effect On Human Activity

There are always two sides to every story and every different point of view has a right to be heard. When it comes to the discussion of global warming—a gradual increase in the earth’s surface temperature—there are two very distinct and opposing points of view. The world seems to be split between global warming being caused by humans and it being a natural occurrence; the latter being the viewpoint that I strongly support due to the evidence I will present in detailin this paper. In contrast, I will also discuss, in Part II, the “anti-thesis” or the opposing viewpoint that humans are actually the

The society of the modern day and age is characterized by a wide array of elements, such as unprecedented levels of technologic development, ongoing fights for human rights and societal development, but also high levels of environmental threat. The global warming phenomenon has, for decades, been assessed with importance and reticence alike. While some would argue the severity of the raising global temperatures, others would attest that global warming was a make belief phenomenon. Today however, as science has proven the existence of the phenomenon, more measures have to be taken to ensure environmental stability.

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.

Climate change is evident throughout the world and is a major issue. It is no secret that our planet is getting warmer. Global warming is now recognized in the scientific community as a real problem. There are multiple aspects that are causing this issue. Majority of the warming is caused by greenhouse gases. Volcanic eruptions and changes in the intensity of solar radiation have offset the warming partially. It is estimated that average annual temperatures will increase 3.5°F-9.5°F by the century’s end.

The ozone layer is in the Earth’s stratosphere and the necessity of this layer is to protect the Earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation rays. “Since the late 1970s, an ozone hole has formed over Antarctica each austral spring (September / October), in which up to 66 percent of the total ozone is depleted” (Ozone Layer Protection). What directly causes holes in ozone are Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs), which rapidly damage the ozone layer. However, with the rising global warming temperature the CFCs’ process is catalysed, further damaging the ozone layer. “According to the estimates made by Dasgupta and Bhaumik (1995), it is likely that 10% decrease in ozone will lead to 20% increase in UV irradiance” (Gangul and Iyer 2006). Once an uncontrolled amount of UV radiation is exposed to lifeforms, especially to humans, “According to the estimates made by Vander Leun and De Gruijl (1993), 1% decrease in total stratospheric columnar ozone (SCO) will lead to 2.3% increase in non-melanoma skin cancer, 2% increase in cutaneous melanoma and 0.5% increase in the incidence of cataracts” (Gangul and Iyer 2006). More devastating effects from the depleting ozone layer are more destruction to agricultural fields, warming of oceans and increased acidity which is diminishing the amounts of phytoplankton, which can immensely affect the stability of the food chain. Therefore, the depletion of

Global warming is drastically changing the world’s climate, causing temperatures and sea levels to rise noticeably. Caused by the usage of greenhouse gases, global warming has brought about extensive controversy concerning its causes and even its existence. Although it is an issue of ongoing concern,many make no modifications in their daily lives. Global warming remains a substantial issue for the world's people, animals and the environment; its ill health effects, forced relocations and the killing off of the food sources combine to make it a widespread problem that requires immediate attention and action.

Although holes, in the ozone layer are natural, the pollutants cause by deforestation, and fracking, can, and in fact, do, destroy the ozone layer, continually allowing the sun to emit more UV rays into the atmosphere heating the earth’s surface. The natural, or not so natural heating of the earth is a very important aspect to look at, when talking about the reasons behind global warming. In the painting, by Chantal Bilodeau, one is able to see a polar bear stranded on an iceberg in the middle of an ocean where it is unable to make the lengthy swim back to a larger land or ice mass. This photo represents the effects of climate change in terms of ocean levels rising due to melting polar ice caps. If these polar ice caps, melt, even 50%, the water levels will increase 20 meters in height, flooding the majority of coastal cities, including, New York, California, Dubai and many others. The melting of the polar icecaps, will kill hundreds of arctic species, leaving them either to migrate with the help of animal protection programs, or they will die of inhabitation along with millions of humans who will die because of severe and dangerous floods in some of the worlds most inhabited cities. For these reasons, it is clear that climate change, is an ingoing issue that can be classified as human based, and naturally based if one considered the change in pace, due to human actions. Whether, people consider it a natural phenomenon, hoax, or take responsibility for their actions, Global warming is clearly a worldwide problem that is going to eventually cause extinction of the human race if it is not resolved in the next decades, as said by both Lynas, and Klein in their outstanding scientific non-fiction

Thesis Statement: Global warming is a growing concern of scientists and researchers who believe that it is a serious problem for our planet. The concerns and research have also been questioned and have even been called myths. Millions of people find themselves affected by these weather pattern changes and are concerned for their futures. Activists on both sides of the argument are very passionate and not afraid to attack each other in every way they can. There are many questions that are still not answered, however, we continue to see drastic weather changes to Earth. We must go beyond the arguments and learn as much as we can to stop what could possibly lead to the destruction of our planet, our way of life and our future.

Over the years, global warming has gradually become a more renowned and controversial topic, some say Global warming has been incited by human activity, so humans should take action to slow down global warming, others say global warming happens naturally so there’s no use of stopping it, while some others don’t even know that Global Warming is happening. Many groups of people within different nations have different opinions of global warming correspondingly having various way of buffering the situation. The aim of my essay is to research and learn about the attitudes and actions of different

Natural atmospheric greenhouse gases, which predominantly consist of water vapor, and minor parts of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, are vital in balancing Earth’s surface temperature to a life-sustaining average. Indubitable, global warming and cooling has occurred naturally; however, data indicates that the sun’s energy distribution has virtually been constant within the past century. Furthermore, evidence indicates that the balance in greenhouse gases has been compromised by a rapidly expanding human population and their activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels over the past fifty years. The effects of humanity’s blissfulness can lead to extreme climate changes in the near future, which does not exclusively threatens our livelihood; however, the existence of all Earth’s inhabitants.

Unfortunately, with the amount of carbon dioxide increasing so dramatically, the greenhouse effect has been strengthened and global temperatures have started to increase above norms. Based on weather data collected around the world, climatologists have detected increases in global average temperatures over the last few decades (Bloom). This increase has also triggered many other environmental changes such as the shrinking of glaciers and ice sheets, shifting of plant and animal ranges, accelerated rise of sea levels, changes in precipitation, longer and more intense heat waves, and more detrimental and intense severe weather events (NASA effects). What is most worrisome for all inhabitants of Earth is not the change itself, but the rate at which it is occurring.

The global warming debate has been at the top of the list for environmentalists increasingly over the last twenty years. The controversy of global warming is either considered due to human activity or natural causes. Although the earth’s climate and temperatures have changed, that does not mean it is humanly caused. Despite the pretense linking the association between man and global warming, which is heavily supported by consensus of scientists, eco-sensitive politicians, and the effort to restrict on capitalistic freedoms, in reality global warming is merely a hoax.

Humans have been emitting increasingly large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution. A common misconception created by the Liberal Left is that this pollution is harmful to the atmosphere and is a direct cause of climate change. However many studies have disputed this claim, conversely concluding that pollution caused by human activities are not correlated to climate change in any way.

Climate change is a highly talked about topic. Scientist have been studying this for many and many years. There are facts that say climate change occurs from natural things like volcanic eruptions, solar activity, and orbital change. Scientist say that its caused by human activities. This is being sent to you because you need to know that climate change is happening from humans more then other things like natural processes. You have inspired me to try my hardest to get to the top and be my best because I have worked for it. I feel like you 're the one to write my letter to because you will understand why this will need to stop and hopefully you can do something about it.Climate Change is being speedup by human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation,and Carbon dioxide being released by cars

When one encounters the concept and idea of global warming, we inquire a wide range of opinions, facts, assumptions, and philosophies. As the general population of the world, the idea
