Global Warming And Its Effects

Global Warming also caused very hot weather which is bad for humanity for having too much heat, people can have heatstroke because of this. Scientists who assess the planet's health see indisputable evidence that Earth has been getting warmer, in some cases rapidly. Most believe that human activity, in particular the burning of fossil fuels and the resulting buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, have influenced this warming trend. In the past decade scientists have documented record-high average annual surface temperatures and have been observing other signs of change all over the planet: in the distribution of ice, and in the salinity, levels, and temperatures of the oceans. Most humans believe that it is their fault, which is true because humans do not take care of their

Global warming is a huge issue that we have to deal with. The world is getting warmer. Whether the cause is human activity or natural variability most of evidence says it is because of humans. Thermometer readings all around the world have risen steadily since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain (“earthobservatory”).

Antarctic’s ice melt and accelerating sea level rise, the growing number of large wildfires, intense heat wave shocks, severe drought and blizzards, disrupted and decreased food supply, and extreme storm events are increasing to happen in many areas world wide and these are just some of the consequences of global warming. The fossil fuel we burn for energy coal, natural gas, and oil plus the loss of forests due to disforestation, in the southern hemisphere are all contributors for climate change. In the past three decades, every single year was warmer then the previous year and the warmest 12 years were recorded since 1998. We are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide and trapping the heat and

Nowadays, Global warming is an incontrovertible fact, which proves that our planet and its climate are in trouble. Well global warming is a term that denotes a slow warming of the earth’s regular temperature. It was also named exclusively man-made effects, in particular carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has largely increased during the past forty years, and scientists concluded that the average earth temperature has increased solely based on man-made activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, respiration of living organisms, cultivation of land, decay of dead organisms and deforestation. The study of global warming involves many sciences in order to examine the causes of global warming and try to find

Global warming as defined by the US EPA (2016) is “the recent and ongoing rise in global average temperatures near the Earth’s surface.” This phenomenon is part of a long ongoing process where the surface of the Earth naturally heats up and cools down due to variations in its orbit. Additional change occurs with the chemical composition of the Earth’s atmosphere due to natural cause such as volcanic eruptions (Global Warming 2010). Throughout Earth’s history it has naturally become warmer and colder by itself. Because of this, many individuals are led to believe that the recent shift into warmer temperatures is normal and nothing to worry about. Furthermore, a general lack of understand about the causes and history behind global warming

You hear about it from television news broadcasts. You read about it in newspapers and magazines. You talk about it with friends and co-workers. There have even been movies made about it. The “it” is global warming. “Global warming refers to the global-average temperature increase that has been observed over the last one hundred years or more” (Spencer). Some experts argue that global warming is a result of human activities, while others believe the warming and cooling of the Earth’s atmosphere is a natural cycle. Supporters of human induced global warming stress that since the Industrial Revolution we have released excessive amounts of carbon dioxide, a known “greenhouse gas,” into the atmosphere and increased the Earth’s

Global warming was once speculative but, after much research, it has since been scientifically proven by a number of methods. One such method is that used by paleoclimatologist Lonnie Thomas who collects the cores from ice masses all around the globe for his analysis of stable isotopes found in oxygen as discussed on page 452 of the text. Essentially, Thompson and his team concluded from their findings that “…most ice cores indicate that the last 50 years were the warmest 50-year period in the last 2000 years and, in some places, for the entire Holocene! Our climate is clearly going to grow even warmer and less hospitable” (Larsen 452). What, exactly, is global warming? “The increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere

Global warming is an increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases that collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun’s heat and causing the planet to warm up. (“11 Facts About Global Warming”) Gases such as natural and manmade are trapped in the atmosphere causes the Earth’s surface become warmer. The world is affected by the dangers of global warming, and the major contributor to global warming among the greenhouse gases is CO2 emission. (Chiroma) (CO2 Concentration (ppm)) Most previous studies defined global warming hiatus by making a comparison of the surface temperature change rates between recent decades and the last quarter of the twentieth century, just as they defined the accelerated warming by comparing the growth during the mid-1970s and the late 1990s with the rate of several decades before that. (Wei) Bubbles of air in glacial ice trap tiny samples of Earth’s atmosphere, giving scientists a history of greenhouse gases that stretches back more than 800,000 years. The chemical makeup of the ice provides clues to the average global temperature. (Riebeek) Over many years, the earth’s temperatures have increased and will continue keep increasing. Global warming may be caused by man or by nature, but with a great deal of research, an opinion will be formed.

[Earth’s temperature is definitely warmer than it was hundreds of years ago, but not for natural reasons]. Gradually the Earth’s surface has become warmer over the last century and most scientists believe that the burning of fossil fuels is responsible for the temperature spike. According to Holli Riebeek, the Education and outreach specialist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Global Warming is happening now, and greenhouse gases are responsible. The burning of fossil fuels causes the release of greenhouse gases, which then become trapped inside our atmosphere and cause Earth’s surface to warm. The greenhouse effect provides a habitable environment for all species on Earth, but [the Earth’s atmosphere now contains more greenhouse gases than ever before1]. The Earth is becoming a more efficient greenhouse, which will eventually cause the Earth to become inhabitable. [The natural causes of the warming of the Earth are too minute to explain how rapid the increase in temperature has been in the past 50 years. Between 1906 and 2005, the Earth’s temperature had risen .3 degrees, but in the last 50 years, the temperature increase rate has almost doubled and is predicted to continually increase] (Riebeek). Contrastingly, despite the knowledge and evidence that greenhouse gases are a large factor of Global Warming, some

Global warming is one of the vigorously discussed topic on Earth today. According to a TechMedia Network, “Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate.” (“Global Warming … Effects”). We have been witnessing the change in Earth’s climate since past few years, and we are well aware of the consequences of climate change as well. Global warming has managed to list itself as one of the biggest problem in the world, and according to the researchers and scientists, the ones promoting this problem are humans and their activities. Global warming is not listed as biggest problem of the world

Over the last few decades global warming has become one of the biggest environmental issues of all times. Every year, global warming gets worse and it’s affecting the way people live, it is affecting the atmosphere in general, and other living organisms in our planet. Global warming is the gradual and increasing rise of the overall temperature of the Earth caused by the greenhouse effect due to the increased levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

Global warming is one of the most alarming and pressing issues that the world faces today. Global warming is the rise of the earth’s temperature over time. The damaging effects of global warming have become more and more apparent, with more tropical storms and hurricanes causing massive destruction, more animal species losing their habitats and coming under threat, rising sea levels, etc.

Generally, our common understandings about Global Warming would be that the weather or the temperature’s changing; for example, we physically feel the winter is getting warmer or the spring seems comes earlier this year. However, the effect of the Global Warming is way greater than our physical feelings. As the dictionary’s definition, “An increase in the average temperature of the Earth 's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate”, for the macro aspects, global warming is gradually affecting the sea-level, animals and plants, agriculture and human-being’s heath. Lately, I’ve been really interesting in the global warming’s affects, because the city where I live back in China is suffering a really bad pollution, people call it as Toxic Haze, not only in my hometown, but all the China’s eastern coast were blanketed by this toxic haze, a famous geographer in China bring forward a perspective that this terrible pollution is related with the effect of the Global Warming. Thus, I think the Global Warming have already involved or threaten our living quality and health. Global Warming’s situation is getting worse and more serious.

Global warming is presenting a lot of environmental and health problems to many countries. A lot of heat gets trapped on earth due to formation of a non-porous layer gases below the atmosphere. The worst effect is felt by developing countries, which are also geographically disadvantaged. The establishment of such countries is on low altitude areas. This position makes developing countries to be direct victims of floods from the melting snow at high altitude areas. A lot of scientific research associates global warming with the numerous irresponsible human activities such as industrialization in the developed countries. These industries emit a high content of greenhouse gases like carbon into the atmosphere on a daily basis. The resultant

Global warming, the growth in world population and the continual increase in quantity of waste globally are serious environment issues and as a result, the public perception towards waste and waste to energy generation cannot be over emphasised. Improving public participation will go a long way to reducing the effects of waste combustion on the environment.
