With global warming concerns on the rise and growing pollution levels, we as a planet need to step back and take a look at what we can do for us and future generations. For too long now, we have been ignoring the fact that global warming is not only a national concern, but a concern for us as human beings on this planet.
The aim of this project is to inform on where we are currently with global warming, where we are going at our current rate, the effect on economics and what we can do to help prevent a growing concern for future generations. This report will provide background information on global warming, what has caused it to get where it is at today and what can be done to slow down the process.
Our planets temperature is not our only concern. Global warming has impacts on all phases of life including: economics, wildlife and geographical features. I will explain the impact on these, as well as, recommendations to prevent further damage.
Elizabeth Kolbert said “People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger, potentially catastrophic changes” (Kolbert, 2005). Everything seems to be taken for granted and we live in a world where people don’t like to think about what could happen. The fact is that global warming is happening, our planet has gotten warmer over the past 100 years. According to the National Wildlife
Global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods; our planet is warming up and we are definitely part of the problem. However, this isn’t the only environmental problem that we should be concerned about. All across the world,
The scientific consensus on global warming is sobering: Its real, it’s happening now and carbon dioxide emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels are almost certainly responsible. Predicting what the exact effects will be on humanity and the planet’s living resources is trickier, but a growing body of evidence suggests they will be profound…, and most wealthy industrial nations have adopted mandatory limits on carbon emissions under the 2005 Kyoto Protocol. (Woodard, 2007, p.27).
Climate change is evident throughout the world and is a major issue. It is no secret that our planet is getting warmer. Global warming is now recognized in the scientific community as a real problem. There are multiple aspects that are causing this issue. Majority of the warming is caused by greenhouse gases. Volcanic eruptions and changes in the intensity of solar radiation have offset the warming partially. It is estimated that average annual temperatures will increase 3.5°F-9.5°F by the century’s end.
This evidence combined with evidence presented by NASA, makes it difficult to argue that climate change is not occurring, or that it is happening rapidly. Now it is time to examine some of the effects of climate change and how they could impact Life on earth.
Global warming is and has been known as one of the largest and most challenging problems that pertains to the environment today. Around the world many are experiencing negative impacts on the daily, those from farmers to those living in more forest like environments. As the ecosystem becomes more and more devastated, awareness and prevention of climate change has never been more important. Many people doubt the existence of global warming, however its is clearly evident through the intensification of heat waves and the melting of ice caps.
Thesis Statement: Global warming is a growing concern of scientists and researchers who believe that it is a serious problem for our planet. The concerns and research have also been questioned and have even been called myths. Millions of people find themselves affected by these weather pattern changes and are concerned for their futures. Activists on both sides of the argument are very passionate and not afraid to attack each other in every way they can. There are many questions that are still not answered, however, we continue to see drastic weather changes to Earth. We must go beyond the arguments and learn as much as we can to stop what could possibly lead to the destruction of our planet, our way of life and our future.
Many people around the world are not aware of the effects that global warming produces or do not care what happens to the earth. Will global warming become a bigger concern than what global warming is now, or will humanity continue to set global warming aside? Leaders around the world may or may not properly address the subject of global warming. Global warming is the increase in the earth’s average temperature that occurs naturally (Flynn). Global warming and climate change are used as interchangeable in public discourse. Though the term global warming pushes more attention to the temperature increase, others may use the term climate change. Global warming has a plethora of data and research dating back to as far as the Stone Ages. With a debate at hand, many have tried to prove who is right on the topic of global warming. Two sides have formed. Is global warming a problem or is global warming not a problem? Is global warming causing harm to the animals and vegetation of the earth? Should government find solutions to prevent more harm from global warming or should the money go towards other issues happening in the world? If the government does do something about global warming what solutions should be used? These questions are what people need to ask themselves. The global warming controversy is a global issue. For years, many have been at odds over whether or not global warming is an issue to be concerned about.
In general climate change affects the world in devastating ways. For example the reefs in the caribbean an Australia's Great Barrier Reef are in great danger because of climate change according to “Warming Signs by Andrew Klein” Also “The changing water chemistry
Global warming is a sizable threat, no doubt, but it is not as scary as people like to think that it is. There is solid evidence that shows that global warming is not new. In fact, scientists have strong reasons to believe that it has happened bounteous times before. The researchers at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have done
Global warming can be defined as the rise of the “Earth’s average surface temperature” (Riebeek par. 2). Many scientists focus their careers on researching the causes, effects, and solutions of this phenomenon. While global warming is still considered highly controversial topic, there is research and statistics that help explain global warming is happening. Global warming is significant to not only to the lives of people today, but also to the lives of future generations.
Every six years, the UN releases a report about global warming that is written by more than 800 authors and 50 editors from countries all over the world. This report shows statistics, news, and possible effects that rising temperatures could have on various countries. It serves to inform every member of their part in global warming. It also serves to provide possible solutions that governments can put into effect.
Ever since the late 1970’s, global warming has commonly been considered a hot issue. While the initial craze has died down a bit during the past decade, the overall influence of global warming has definitely left a mark on our eternally evolving society. Naturally, thanks to a handful of documentaries that set out primarily to give the general public a definition of what global warming exactly was and the dangers that it would bring along with its presence, the ever-looming threat of climate change roots itself within most of the population’s minds. As a result of this, such threats have grown to become slightly exaggerated over time, causing several to needlessly panic over what should be considered a nonissue. The truth is that global warming should not really be viewed as a serious affair by anyone, as it is only a part of a natural cycle our planet goes though from time to time.
The report will state the facts and issue about global warming all over the world. The report will focus on the impact of global warming and consider what actions can be taken by Greenpeace to fight global warming. Global warming, which will trigger hurricanes and tropical storms, has a negative effect on human beings and wildlife. According to the report, thanks to global warming, a million species have already become extinct and approximately 150,000 people will die by the end of the 21st-century ¹. What’s more, sea level will rise nearly three feet by 2100, which will threat people in coastal area². In addition, global warming will elevate occurrence of strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters³. This report will showcase some key facts and data concerning global warming, considering the effect on human’s life, animals and the environment. In addition, this report will list different ways in which we as an environmental organization can tackle the problem of global warming.
A slight change in temperature may not seem that bad but a small rise in global temperature can do a lot of damage. Global warming is an increase in the earth 's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate [11]. This report is going to discuss the many causes of global warming as well as the effects that come with it. It will also discuss ways to prevent global warming from happening.
When one encounters the concept and idea of global warming, we inquire a wide range of opinions, facts, assumptions, and philosophies. As the general population of the world, the idea
