Global Warming Is One Of The Biggest Concerns To Our Planet.

It is often said that humans are the largest threat to Earth, but not because of violence between one another. Humans are the largest threat to Earth because we as a species pollute the air, land, and water of the very planet we call home. Without Earth all life as we know it will cease to exist. Global warming is the product of the pollutants created by mankind. If mankind as a whole does not change its ways we will ruin our one and only planet that is suitable to sustain life. In Warm, Warmer, Warmest an article by Nicholas D. Kristof argues that that “stopping global warming should be the paramount struggle of our time”(Warmer). While researching this topic I used multiple resources to better understand what Nicholas Kristof is explaining in his article. I first looked at a government run website that helped explain global warming and how it is affecting us today. Then I looked at news articles from different news organizations. Lastly I watched a video that explained why we can no longer ignore global warming. All of those resources helped me better understand my research topic and I feel that I have gained more knowledge about global warming.

A scientist that reports for National Geographic Magazine stated, “Since 1990, yearly emissions have gone up by about six billion metric tons of “carbon dioxide equivalent” worldwide, more than a 20 percent increase”(“Causes of Global Warming”) Humans are the cause of global warming. Overpopulation of the human race has resulted in a multitude of carbon dioxide gas getting trapped in the atmosphere, warming the earth as if it was a greenhouse. Carbon dioxide (Co2) is a “waste” gas of human beings. One human approximately exhales two and one third pounds of carbon dioxide gas a day(Palmer) Consequently, the gas is warming the earth from the core up. Humans are the cause of global warming.

We might disagree on the causes of global warming; however, we cannot ignore that it is happening. Although we still experience cold winters, average global temperatures has risen drastically for the past three decades. Polar ice caps are melting; as a result, sea levels are rising. Scientist predict more extreme weather in the coming decades, in fact, droughts will probably be more common. Also, flooding and tropical temperatures might cause large amounts of methane gases to be released, which could be disastrous for our atmosphere. Climate change may have human causes and also it might be a natural occurrence. Nevertheless, we must find ways to save our planet.

People can reduce emission of greenhouse gases this will stabilize the levels of gases in the atmosphere. Decreasing fossil fuel burning is critical. Humans can develop clean energy including solar, wind, and geothermal energy. This will helps to reduce the amount of coal and oil burned in powering electrical generating plants,( NASA ,2012). Transportations options like all the cars, trucks, plains and trains that had a massive effects on the climate. If people will limit their use on transportation it will also reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Lowering thermostats in the winter and using energy –efficient light bulbs will also reduce the effects on global warming. If we as human do not change the way we live it will leave this earth with a shortage of food and water and without the food and water people and animals will not

Global warming is the number one concern on the planet right now (Ankara 1). Ankara University suggests that “the most common definition of global warming is the process in which Earth’s temperatures increase due too many human activities” (“The Impact of Global…” 1). A basic background of how climate change is provoked is that it is caused by fossil fuels and carbon dioxide being released in the air due to many human activities. This event can potentially harm the human population and put many ecosystems around the world to extinction. Marine ecosystems, in general, are parts of the Earth’s hydrosphere, which make up large parts of the Earth and contain magnificent biodiversity from beautiful fish to the

The first things we can look at about Rome and Carthage is Rome’s citizens and Carthage’s wealth. We can draw conclusions from these and begin to compare both. One of the prominent things about Rome was its “hand-to-hand combat” skills of its soldiers. Rome was not originally a navy, but had to become a naval power to take on Carthage. Before Rome ever faced Hannibal in the second Punic war (B.C.218-201) it faced Carthage in the first Punic war (B.C. 264-241) and had fewer losses than it did in the Second Punic war. We can examine what Carthage’s advantages were, and what Rome’s disadvantages were (Morey, 1901).

What would a student from Saudi Arabia gain from going through the Establishment Clause jurisprudence in America ? A lot actually. One thing is to witness the empirical proof in the long exhausting discussions held by the Supreme Court justices that silence is not always wise! However, another important gain is to be reassured that there is something equally problematic to theocracy, which is the inevitable problematic consequences of extracting concepts and social tools, that were the natural products of the developments in a society, and employ them in a foreign societal context; secularism in a non-secular society.

The tale of the human race and our connection to the ecosystem can be viewed as an unfolding adventure shrouded in mysterious occurrences. The impacts of the overall climatic change have signaled danger for a long time, and it is clear that there is a global crisis facing us. One would wonder where we are headed and if the earth will be able to sustain life in the next century. Global warming continues to manifest itself to us every day through rapid changes occurring to the climate system. Some of us still hide from reality and hold on to the notion that climate change is just, but another scientific

[Abstract: Climate change is the single greatest threat facing our planet. Senator Bernie Sanders, Democratic Party nomination seekers in the US presidential election 2016, repeatedly urges in his campaign: ‘climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and it is already causing devastating harm here in the United States and to people all around the world.’ Nonetheless but humans are liable to climate change, and are also affected by it with others. This article will focus on our collective and individual moral obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as our moral obligations to climate change affected poorer countries in order to argue that we have a moral obligation as a whole. The United States, the wealthiest country in the world, contributes far more than its share of greenhouse gases. It is now clear that these emissions have caused serious risks to the world as a whole, particularly the poorest nations. In response to the question ‘Does an US individual has a moral obligation to impose reasonable curbs on its future greenhouse gas emissions?’ Armstrong and Johnson have advanced a novel and sophisticated argument for the right of individuals to remain stable in their personal emissions. We believe that the general shape of their position is attractive since it (i) grants the individual the right to emit without suggesting that any and all restrictions are permissible; (ii) distinguishes between the relative strength of collective moral

Solar energy is capable of providing a cleaner energy than most forms of energy generation, and solar energy is able to be generated economically. Solar energy reduces the amount of harm to the environment from energy generation, by providing a cleaner alternative. Solar energy also provides jobs for construction and installation of solar powered technologies.

A new pentagon report mentioned that global warming is one of the urgent and growing threat to “national security”(Nakamura, 2015, para 1). Presidential contender/Senator/ Bernie Sanders also pointed out that “global warming, not terrorism or nuclear weapon proliferation or chinese hacking, is the biggest threat facing the country”(Follett, 2015, para 1). Global warming contribute to the death of 400,000 people a year and costing the world more than $1.2 trillion, which is about 1.6% of the annual global GDP (Harvey, 2012, para 4). Raising social awareness about the effect of global warming is the first step to avert the damaging consequences.Today, I would like to present to you what causes global warming, the effects of global warming on weather conditions as well as the economy, and the effects of global warming on biodiversity.

Global warming is one of the greatest challenges the world faces today. One of the leading causes of global warming is the drastic increase in carbon dioxide emissions created by the burning of fossil fuels for energy. The consequences of global warming have far reaching effects, ranging from personal to social to economic global scenarios. However, the path of current destruction facing the planet can be altered by using energy more efficiently, thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gases. Global warming has many dire consequences, and if not reduced it could very truly destroy our planet.

Global Warming has always been an issue for our planet; climate has changed throughout the 4.5 billion years of Earth’s existence. In particular, the world was much warmer sixty-five million years ago during the Paleogene period in the Paleocene epoch. The average temperature was 10 degrees Celsius higher than it is today. The cause for this was a massive and geologically sudden release of carbon. Something much alike is happening today with all the massive amounts of fossil fuels that are being burned. The difference is that sixty-five million years ago, the carbon dioxide (CO2) that was release was pure. Today, most CO2 that is release into the air is mixed with a lot of man-made fluorocarbon pollutants (PFCs) with radioactive

There is an abundance of evidence that the global climate is warming, but the exact causes are unknown, one susceptive cause is actives of mankind. There are many different studies that show the level of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere has increased since the second half of the 18 century also known as the Industrial Revolution. This is the time mankind started to make their carbon footprint on the environment. This footprint included technological changes such as the use of raw materials, new energy sources, the invention of new machines, new organization of work known as the factory systems, improvements in transportation and communication. While these actives have caused an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane and other pollutants that have affected the atmosphere, the

Global warming is no longer just a prediction it is actually happening. It is undisputed that the average temperature at the surface of Earth has increased over the past century by 1 degree Fahrenheit, with both the air and the oceans warming. Since 1880, when people in many locations first began to keep temperature records, the 25 warmest years have all occurred within the last 28 years. The problem is that if we keep on hurting our own environment and ecosystems we are just going to destroy ourselves sooner or later. If we don’t start to change the way we are doing things around the United States with our factories, the way we dispose of things, or the way we get affected by the pollution, we will see some major issues in the future. This paper will examine the problem of Global Warming in the United States. The paper will first discuss how global warming works, and why it is damaging not only our lives but the lives of the animals around the United States and other major issues. It will also address the consequences for global warming for such a long time of a period. Next the paper discusses three environmental solutions to the problem of global warming: wildlife affects, glaciers and sea levels, the weather patterns. The paper will first explain each global warming solution. Then it will analyze the pros and cons, and potential strengths and weakness of each solution. Last this paper will offer some personal observations of the
