Global warming is ending the life in the Earth Global warming is defined as the global increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. According to NASA, January 2016 was the hottest January as it was 1.13 degrees Celsius above the 1951-1980 average (Erdman, 2016). Humans participate in increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases that act like a blanket that traps the heat. And this appear from the combustion of fossil fuel and the different industries
atmosphere, a problem that is referred to as ‘global warming’. Even though global warming is a worldwide issue, the actual effort put into understanding its risk is very minimal. Haydn Washington and John Cook claim that often climate change denial arguments are used to hide the obvious truth about global warming causing misunderstanding among people about the issue (43). Global warming affects the environment in various ways causing untimely disasters, an unbalanced ecosystem, and costly health impacts
We all know that throughout the year, the climate is different. In the beginning of the year it is very cold, whereas the middle of the year it’s very hot. Although, there has been many changes in the weather and in the environment around us. Global Warming has an observable effect. For example, there are more intense heat waves, wildfires, glaciers have shrunk, ice rivers and lakes are breaking up sooner, plant and animal ranges have shifted, trees are flowering sooner, etc. All these things are

Global Warming First discovered at the turn of the century by the Swedish scientist Arrhenius, global warming was initially thought to only cause increased greenhouse gases from coal combustion emissions. It wasn’t until fifty years later that the real causes and effects of global warming would be discovered. A British scientist by the name of Calendar correlated the 10% increase of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide between 1850 and 1940 with the observed warming of northern Europe and North America
Did you know our earth is warming and the average temperature has risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the last ten years and on top of that it's expected to dramatically increase by 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit in our lifetime? (Climate change). The Earth’s warming is caused by the increase of concentrations of greenhouse gasses that are released into the atmosphere and by the combustion of fossil fuel which releases CO2 . Over the last hundred years, Global warming has been occurring naturally due to variations
catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error,” writes Maurice Newman, chief business advisor to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott (Dunn). With this bold declaration, Australia thrust itself onto the international stage where it was widely criticized and condemned by the United Nations and environmental supporters worldwide. Already behind the world in climate change legislation, Australia quickly became the face of global warming denial
According to Alina Bradford in the article, What is global warming?, “Global warming is the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere.” Scientists have tracked and determining if the earth temperature has risen or is decreasing. Scientists have seen an increase of about 1.4 degrees in temperature in the past century and are supposed to keep rising. Climate change is a huge issue because sea level is rising, Glaciers are disappearing due to climate, increasing and melting them,

Climate Change’s Effect on Natural Disasters Introduction Climate Change has evidently had a huge impact on recent natural disasters around the world. The most noteable events in recent times has been the hurricanes that hit the United States and Puerto Rico in quick succession in 2017. These great tropical cyclones were hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria. But this is not the only year that was violently struck. In the year 2005, there were six major hurricanes. Katrina.
