Global Warming and Its Effect on Our Planet

A study shows that there was a 97% consensus among scientists who were interviewed said that global warming is caused by humans in 2015. The number is always changing considering the fact that there was a 100 percent consensus by 2004, with a percentage of 91 scientists in agreement in the beginning of 2014 with a 93 percent consensus by the end of 2014. (Friends) All of these scientists believe that global warming is being caused by and can be prevented by humans. They see that sea levels are rising because of melting ice caps, the number of immense wildfires is increasing along with the length of the wildfire season, droughts are becoming more severe, storms are becoming more extreme and common, and dangerous heat waves are becoming an issue. Sea levels rising dramatically increases the risk of flooding, especially in the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. East Coast. Similarly, more rain falls during the heaviest downpours, increasing the risk of flooding events even more with the temperature increase caused by climate change. Scientists see that climate change has significant implications for our health, including increased air pollution and a longer and more intense allergy

One of the major concerns pertaining to climate change is the effects on the planet. As we, all know, along with the increase in atmospheric surface temperatures on the earth, the weather begins to alter its patterns and change. This results in some rather unusual events. The United Nations panel on Climate Change (2007) actually released some rather disturbing findings. It reported that overall, there has been a considerable increase in the power of global hurricanes ever since the 1970’s. The Poles are losing more and more of their ice in the summer months, the North Pole loses almost all of it, glaciers are receding globally, and there is a noticeable increase in the rising of the oceans…that’s only the beginning! Each

As science has shown global warming is dangerous and needs to be dealt with. As Amanda MacMillan stated “Scientists agree that the earth’s rising temperatures are fueling longer and hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, heavier rainfall, and more powerful hurricanes” (Global Warming 101). Graphs have shown that over the years Co2, Land ice, and other contributions have increased dramatically. Studies have linked more frequent tropical hurricanes to the rising of greenhouse gasses. Also, that in the future more power and frequent storms are likely to occur. Hurricanes and other tropical storms are so powerful that it is destroying homes and habitats for animals in the area. It also affects resources that

Climate change has been a very popular topic lately with all the crazy natural acts of destruction occurring lately. Hurricane Harvey, Irma and now Hurricane Nate. Most experts argue that the recent occurrence of tropical storms has to do with the tremendous amount of global warming within the atmosphere. I for one agree that there is a correlation between climate change and natural disasters. The outcomes of an increase in global temperatures include increased risk of drought and increased intensity of storms and tropical cyclones with higher wind speeds.

Global warming is an increase in the overall temperature of earth atmosphere. Earth 's climate is changing, temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall are shifting, and more extreme climate like heavy rainstorms and high temperatures are already affecting the society and economy. Scientists are confident that many of the observed changes are happening because of the global warming. Warming and climate are changing and increasing every year. The main Cause are by people burning fuels to generate electricity, heat and cool buildings, and power vehicles. Many cause and effects are happening in the world because of the global warming in the whole environment.

Global warming is “the gradual heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere” (Bradford). This issue has been a constant worry around the world for as long as the world has been around, along with humans occupying it. Many people tend to believe that global warming is an issue that cannot be solved. However, this is a false accusation about the overall health and condition of our world.

There are many definitions for global warming, but there is one common definition that many scientists can agree on. Global warming is “an increase in the earth 's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution” (Merriam-Webster). It is believed to be caused by many gases gathering together, creating a thick blanket in the earth’s atmosphere, and raising the earth’s temperature. According to S.M. Enzler MSc, Svante Arrhenius suggested in 1896, there would be a relationship between the carbon dioxide concentration on earth and its temperature. Arrhenius then did research with Thomas Chamberlin and predicted that human activities and their release of carbon dioxide would warm up the earth’s atmosphere (en. Enzler). They predicated then that humans would have a huge influence on the climate change. After a while the topic of

Global warming is the term used to describe the rise in the Earth’s temperature observed over the last century. It has had significant effects on the polar ice caps, as the rising temperature is causing them to melt. It has also been linked to rising sea levels as the rise has been quicker than ever recorded in the last century. It is believed to be caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, due to burning fossil fuels, other human activities and volcanic activity. It also doesn’t help that most of the world’s forests are being cut down to be used for wood and other materials, this means those plants can no longer photosynthesise and get rid of some of the CO2 (which is a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere.

Global warming has emerged as one of the most serious concerns for scientists and environmentalists in the 21st century. This is based on the negative impact of global warming, which is not limited to deforestation, drastic variations in climate, decline in output of global agricultural industry, degradation of ice sheets in Antarctic, decrease in ocean productivity, rise in sea levels, and increase in tornadoes, hurricanes and floods. The primary reason for global warming has been identified as the continuous increase in energy demand by the global population, which has further increased the dependence of global energy industry on burning fossil fuels. Accordingly, a review of literature is conducted to assess the primary reasons and

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 a subject that elicits different opinions, even in the political sphere. During the 2016 presidential campaign, the Democratic candidates all declare that global warming is a national crisis and that some policies need to be implemented. On the other hand, the majority of the Republican candidates claims that global warming is all a hoax and that designing policies to combat global warming are a waste of money and energy. The different stances happening in the political sphere are also happening outside of the political sphere. Everyone in the world has different views on global warming, but very few of us did anything to lessen the impact of global warming in that the majority of us each drive our own fossil fuel-using vehicles instead of using public transportation, and the majority of us rarely reuses and recycle. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in Earth 's atmosphere because some of the sun 's rays cannot escape. It is a worldwide phenomenon that impacts each and every one of us because it cause irregular climate patterns, increases the sea levels, and decreases human living standards.

Global Warming has been devastating the earth and economy for the last twenty-five years. Greenhouse gases developed from the production of chemicals such as R-22, oil, and factories have been destroying o-zone and ecosystems. Carbon dioxide is developed naturally and absorbed by plants and animals, but, too much, and it good be deadly. With the increase in automobiles and production, the world government has begun to address the issue of greenhouse gases with limits and requirements for larger nations, with higher impacts of production and driving. The effects of greenhouse gases and global warming should be a major concern for society because the increased temperatures have caused degradation of permafrost, ozone to deplete, ocean levels and temperatures to rise, and promotes uncontrolled growth of plants and species causing some to become extinct.

Global warming is the ever growing tension and a controversial issue that is debated widely for the past few years. There are many critics and disbelievers still present in the politics and science field , who do not think that this issue is increasing at such a large scale. It may be due to the lack of evidences in this field, that resulted into this thought that it is the natural process that is evolving on this planet in cycles. In this present era the existence of global warming is not remained any controversial issue, but the causes and impact of global warming are still in the hot debates.

Over the last few decades global warming has become one of the biggest environmental issues of all times. Every year, global warming gets worse and it’s affecting the way people live, it is affecting the atmosphere in general, and other living organisms in our planet. Global warming is the gradual and increasing rise of the overall temperature of the Earth caused by the greenhouse effect due to the increased levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

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
