Global Warming Has Left Upon Our Natural Environment

The changing nature of snow cover as a result of climate change is a modern phenomenon that climate scientists are beginning to understand. The negative impact of climate change on snow cover has serious implications for the Australian alpine ski industry, in particular the longevity of the industry. This essay discusses the impacts of climate change on snow cover and the alpine landscape, social attitudes, changes in the ski industry’s economy, as well challenges and adaptations facing the ski industry. The essay highlights the danger of short-term solutions resulting in permanent damage to our environment.

I chose this topic because I wanted to find out what the impacts of climate change can make on the ski industry. Snowboarding is a very big part of my life and it is important for all of us as it brings in all the tourists into our country.

The changing nature of snow cover as a result of alpine climate change is a modern phenomenon that climate scientists are beginning to understand. Declining snow depth and duration have serious implications for Australia’s ski industry, in particular the longevity of the industry. This essay discusses the impacts of alpine climate change on snow cover, adaption strategies to sustain the industry’s economy as well as the unsustainable nature of snowmaking as a long term solution. Limitations on water and energy resource make snowmaking problematic as a substitute for natural snow. The essay highlights the unsustainability of snowmaking as a short-term solution, and raises concerns of the longevity of the ski industry.

Global warming has been a universal issue for many decades. It started back at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when people unknowingly released fumes from factories into the air. Although global warming has been an all-around topic, it has recently started to gain media attention due to the many catastrophic events that have occurred around the globe. Global warming can be defined as, “a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.” Humans burning fossil fuels discharge greenhouse gases. Not only are we gravely endangering the earth for ourselves, but we are also causing the environment to become an unsuitable habitat for all the wildlife that has already inhabited the earth for many, many years. As we continue to destroy the earth, the consequences will increase in a grave manner. I will make the argument as to why we should become more eco friendly in order to save the earth’s natural state of being.

There is no dispute about the basic facts of this issue: carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas; the world's automobiles and power plants pour nearly 6 billion tons of it into the air every year; and there are countless indications that the planet is warming. Perhaps the most revealing is the fact that average temperatures have been gradually rising, and the ten hottest years on record since the 1860s have occurred since 1973.

Human impact such as industrialization, livestock farming and the increase in recent population have all caused serious environmental impacts that have let to dramatic global climate change. “Scientists generally agree that the globe has warmed over the past 40 years, due largely to human activities that raise carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere” (Clemet). Greenhouse gasses have always existed, but not to the extent that they do in today’s world; they are causing a dramatic change in climate and causing major environmental issues. Although some may argue the fact that climate change occurs naturally and humans have no impact on the speed of climate change, humans are dramatically increasing the rate in which our seas rise, our ice

Ever since the 1980’s Global Warming has been an intriguing topic among citizens, scientists and government officials. It’s ironic to think that only years earlier in the 1970’s the phenomenon was global cooling, now on a dime it suddenly shifted from intense glaciation to excessive carbon dioxide emissions that raise the temperature of the planet. A large number of influential scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are necessary. This is simply just another bizarre fad that will soon fade due to wishy washy scientific theorems and emphasized social agendas. With the use of basic science and logic the idea of Global Warming can be dismantled and proven to be illegitimate and a hoax.

There is no doubt that global warming becomes one of the most dangerous, serious and popular issues in the 21st century. It is possible to identify the probable and effective solutions by means of the population around the world to reduce negative effects on our planet. Joseph and Roy (2014) points out 97% of the scientists and professionals are trying to discover the best explanations, which can prevent our world from violent disasters that can damage the lives and wealth of all nations and animals. This essay will consider how global warming worsens day by day, the consequences of global warming and the solutions to overcome it.

Global warming is an increasing in average global temperatures across the planet. This is due to the rising temperatures on the continent. Temperatures continue to rise yearly causing global warming. The greenhouse effect is sun light radiation being driven back to the earth. When solar energy is released into the atmosphere, there is an effect of bouncing back. Solar radiation is bounced back into the atmosphere causing the temperature of the earth to remain steady. However, over time greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have caused the bounce back solar radiation to have a double back. This is when the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause the solar radiation to bounce back to the earth forcing the temperature to rise and remain higher than normal. This in effect causes global warming to occur. The atmospheric temperatures rise because the solar radiation is not escaping the atmosphere like it is designed to do. The two work hand in hand. Atmospheric temperatures are being pushed to higher levels because greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are at an all-time high. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause the solar radiation to push back to the earth, in return raising the overall atmospheric temperature of the earth. There are several different types of gases in the atmosphere that cause solar radiation to bounce back to the earth keeping it trapped in the atmosphere. These gases are vital to the earth because if there were no gases the earth would freeze. The overall

One of the more troubling themes of over the past few years is global warming. Global warming is the result of human activity overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other toxic emissions. These emissions trap heat, drive up Earth’s temperature, and create significant and harmful impacts on our health, our environment, and our climate. In an effort to hinder global warming, advocates have made several efforts to decrease the amount of harmful emissions being released into the atmosphere and have put pressure on the government to be involved in the fight against global warming. The U.S. Federal Government responded by making certain atmosphere-harming actions illegal and providing incentives for individuals and companies to

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.

Global Warming is the result of too many gases, which accumulate in the atmosphere. These chemicals build up and produce what is known as greenhouse gases. This results in temperature changes and various weather patterns. The gases, which rise up into the atmosphere retain a lot of heat, which can cause higher temperatures and more moisture in the air. Many of the pollutants in the atmosphere come from everyday human activities, such as using automobiles, factory fuels, and agricultural waste.

Intro- Imagine a life where polar bears in the Artic are extinct. Cities along the coast no longer exist from the ocean rising and covering it. Heat waves and floods are much more common. All of these things are predicted to happen in the future due to global warming. Whether humans cause global warming or if it is natural has been at debate for a long time.

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, 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.
