Currently, global warming is one of the most important issues in today’s society. But, what is the actual meaning of global warming. According to dictionary.com, global warming is an increase in the earth 's average atmospheric temperature that causes analogous changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. I have read a tremendous amount of books and articles regarding global warming. What are the effects, main causes and how the world should stand and try to reduce what causes this massive climate change. I have interviewed Jehan Albasara, who is a student’s in Wayne State University. She is very interested in natural issues like global warming, air pollution, ect. She thinks global warming is “a serious phenomenon that requires an immediate attention to help in making long term solutions to ensure that there will be a habitable earth for the next generations.” I also asked her about what the roles of the businesses to reduce this global change .Jehan said “Although the damage has been already done, but there is still, however, a ray of hope in limiting or slowing global warming.” “The UN Paris Agreement of 2015, is a huge step in making the necessary limits. Unlike other matters, global warming impacts almost everyone; no one and no nation will be exempt from the consequences of the climate change.” The second person that I did that interview with is Zabiba Jwany, a student at Macomb Community college who is majoring in natural science, and her stand
The world has many years existing in this galaxy and every day we see that is changing more and more but not in a very good way that it can end in the extinction of the planet earth. “Earth Hasn’t Heated Up This Fast Since the Dinosaurs’ End” (Lavelle). Carbon is growing so fast in the atmosphere faster than in the past 66 million years since the dinosaurs went extinct (Lavelle). All the presidents hold a position of power that could change this big problem that the planet is having, behind this problem there is other problems that are causing a much bigger problem in all the country. “By year 2100, the average temperature will rise by 5.8 degrees as a result of global warming. The Arctic ice is melting rapidly. By 2040 the region is expected to have a completely ice-free summer, or even earlier. Since 1880, the average temperature has risen by 1.4-Fahrenheit degrees” (Rinkesh). Humans are the one in power of this planet, they are often making some decisions, but they do not know if that is going to hurt the planet. Also, is because humans are selfish. These decisions often include manipulating the system of other country, how they work, what products they can make, how to get benefit from that country, and etc. Also, taking control and/ or credit over other countries work. Some countries are taking very serious the Global Warming problem, so the other countries want a prove of how are they helping to fix this problem. Many countries have agreements with other countries that
In order to understand the issue of global warming (also referred to as climate change), you must first understand what it means and how it happens. Global warming is a result of a process known as the greenhouse effect, in which the light and heat from the sun are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by greenhouse gases; which subsequently raises the average temperature on Earth. The greenhouse gases responsible for this process are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and tropospheric ozone, all of which are released into the atmosphere through naturally occurring processes (Warrick, R. & Farmer, G., 1990).
In order to understand global warming one must know exactly what it means. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, global warming is defined as “the recent and ongoing rise in global average temperature near Earth 's surface” (EPA.gov, 2014).
Global warming is an important issue in the world today and concerning its future. There are many factors that affect global warming and its levels. Though some of these causes of global warming are due to natural events, many are the result of human structures and activities. Global warming is mostly due to the emission of greenhouse gases and can have very negative consequences on the environment and society (“Global Warming”).
What’s is Global Warming? Global Warming is defined as the overall increase in temperature of the earthly atmosphere which is caused by increased pollutants, most notably CO2 levels. Global warming is a man-made disaster that also stems deforestation and the gases that come from the greenhouse effect. “Climate change is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time, responsible for rising seas, raging storms, searing heat, ferocious fires, severe drought, and punishing floods”(NRDC). In short, it’s a detrimental change in the earth’s atmosphere. There is an on-going discussion on whether global warming is a real thing or Hoax but the majority of the world believes in it, it’s the rare few that try to fight against its actuality. As students
The issue of climate change is one of the most decisive matters, in determining the ecological state of the world in the foreseeable future. The fact is that the globe has been steadily increasing at an alarming rate since the industrial revolution. It is estimated that over the next eighty years, the ecosystem in which we live, will look nearly unrecognizable in a matter of decades. As the magnitude of the problem increases, we will continue to deal with devastating weather events, that will occur as a result. Events, such as extreme weather, increase in temperature, ocean acidification, depletion of our polar cap, and a number of other environmental repercussions are likely to occur, if we do not act with reasonable care and timeliness. As policymakers and politicians, it has always been a question of whether or not this concern is something that should be dealt with within the span of our lifetimes. For a number of years, it has always been a question of whether or not a concern such as this should be prioritized. Under the Petersen Administration, environmental security will be regarded as more important than economic security. The U.S. will continue to honor its pledge from the Paris agreement, which states that the U.S.’ pledge is to cut emissions by twenty-six percent below 2005 levels by 2025, and to make its “best efforts” to reach twenty-eight percent in the coming years. Many global nations will partner with the U.S to assert that unilaterally and multilaterally,
Climate change and Global warming is a big issue in the world today. One big thing is the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is the capturing of the sun's warmth in the planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation given off from the planet's surface. Greenhouse gases affect the temperature here on Earth by sunlight hitting the Earth. Then, carbon dioxide reflects the heat from the sun and traps the heat, keeping it on the Earth causing a rise in temperature.
Global warming is define as the global increase in the average temperature of the earth, that near the air-surface and the oceans which caused by the emission of the gases. These include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen that trap the sun’s heat in the earth. It’s happened since the mid-twentieth century and its projected would be continuation. Global warming is an extremely severe problem facing the world today. Its effects and causes have been on the rise and people need to do something about it before the problem gets any worse.Global warming is an increase in the earth's temperature, which can be caused by the use of fossil fuels, and industrial or agricultural processes.
Global warming is a huge concern in society that is only growing bigger because people either are not well informed about it, or they are not concerned about it. Some think that it will just go away and others still believe that it doesn’t exist, even though there is hundreds if not thousands of pieces of evidence that supports otherwise. One of the biggest pieces of evidence that proves global warming is real is the effect that photosynthesis has on global warming.
Dear World, I want to talk about something affecting you all. It’s about global warming. This issue will more than likely take away from everyone in the end, or at least humanity’s efforts to be a greater civilization, if you don’t take care of it. My question is, why aren’t you? For billions of years your Earth withstood countless hardships and has since lived among the cosmos, but now it’s going to be intoxicated and fall ill in a manner of hundreds of years, because of you? Global warming is the issue of the earth warming up due to man’s technological accomplishments since the industrial revolution, greatly committing to the massive unnatural build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and it comes up with a great deal of many other problems, including pollution, the maintaining of ecosystems in the polar regions, and the depleting rate of fossil fuels and non-renewable energy sources. But besides the problem itself, which is already a major issue, there comes the people. There are more than one sides to a problem, and in this case, it’s about whether global warming is actually real or not. There are those who side that it is, and those who side that it isn’t, and even those who say that humans aren’t causing it. Although there are more than two sides, it needs to be said that global warming is indeed real and happening as you read this. Putting an end to the modern era and giving up our energy needs is simply too cruel, but there is never just one solution, and this
The issue of global warming should be on the list of our top priorities. Studies show that the average of global temperatures have risen since the Industrial Revolution began. Since the Industrial Revolution, human emissions has quadrupled the frequency of certain heat extremes and many scientists have warned that a failure to bring greenhouse gases under control could eventually lead to a 62-fold increase in extreme heat blasts (Gillis Justin A17). Most of the increase is due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These activities contribute to a build-up in carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is made of gases like nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gases act as a blanket that covers and gives us warmth, but once these gases such as carbon dioxide absorbs heat, but does not release it back into space in which causes the increase in global temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect because it only traps heat but does not release it.
Imagine you are placed into the future. The year is 2100. You begin to live in this
Globalization refers to the collective process of interaction and integration among different companies, people, governments, and firms of different nations; it is driven by international trade and made easier by information technology. Fundamentally, globalization is a global movement that fosters interconnectivity and interdependence across nations; its evidence is the current increase in global supply chains all over the globe (Appelbaum and Lichtenstein 2006) Naturally, globalization is usually known for spreading civilization, medical modernizations , technology, and knowledge to even the most remote places of the planet, therefore fostering the development of the world. Nevertheless, it has also been implicated as one of the leading causes of global warming. By definition, global warming is the gradual elevation of the earth’s atmosphere due to the accumulation of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons, which consequently elicit the greenhouse effect (Goldstein 2007, p. 398). Inherently, global warming is currently the most urgent concern of the international community; unless it is regulated promptly, and reversed, the extinction of the human race is guaranteed. In such a manner, those involved in environmental conservation have been adamant to determine the cause of the problem, in order to understand and mitigate it effectively (Goldstein 2007, p. 41). Correspondingly, one of the posited causes of global warming is globalization itself; this
“When taking the heating of the entire climate system into account, our planet has warmed at a rate equivalent to 4 Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations per second over the past 15 years” (Cook). Our planet is becoming warmer. When scientists add up all the heat warming the land, oceans, atmosphere, ice melting, earth is accumulating heat equivalent to four Hiroshima bombs worth of heat per second. Global warming is a serious issue faced by our world as there has been a significant increase in temperature over the years. But the article published by Dr. Mark Sircus on “Global Warming -largest science scandal in the history” refutes the theory of global warming. Dr. Sircus states that there is no linkage between carbon dioxide and temperature leading to global warming, the sea level is not rising, arctic sea ice extent is now higher and climate change is due to solar activity. Dr. Sircus also points out that that the recent weather changes are not in line with global warming and “we are in the beginning of a deep freeze” (Global Warming - Largest Science Scandal in US History). NASA and the scientific community states that global warming is not a hoax and there is a rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases released as people burn fossils. NASA states that the “key indicators of global warming are based on surface, satellite, and ocean temperature measurements, satellite measurements of energy imbalance and of receding glaciers, sea ice, and
A topic of worldwide concern is the effects of global warming on the world we live in. Our awareness of this event is elevated due to our part in accelerating the rate of global warming through the excessive production of greenhouse gases polluting the atmosphere. The changes due to global warming are small but long-reaching, slowly and slightly changing the world around us, raising sea levels and temperatures. This change is viewed in a negative light as it is disrupting the current state of nature and altering the environment. Natural, we want to resist any negative changes and would rather sea levels stay at a constant level to protect beaches and coastline cities. We like to be able to control as much as we can to sustain ideal
