`` Happiness Is A Warm Planet `` By Thomas Gale Moore

First of all, the main effect of global warming is the fact that it causes warmer temperatures. While warmer temperatures may seem beneficial and good, the ways the atmosphere is becoming warmer isn’t that great. According to the article, Global warming, it states, “Natural processes on Earth constantly create and destroy greenhouse gases.” “Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, add an extra seven billion metric tons per year” (“Global Warming”). To explain, what this shows is that nature is already creating greenhouse gasses and people are adding even more to the atmosphere. While people strive on greenhouse gasses for warmth, the amount of greenhouse gasses forming will cause numerous environmental hazards in the future.

Disasters occur naturally, but climate change causes them to be more violent and more unpredictable. Climate change also makes it more likely that a natural disaster will happen. “The kind of surge related flooding that Superstorm Sandy brought to parts of New York City is about 50 percent more likely than it was in 1950” (Borenstein). Flooding on coast lines can be caused by the melting of the polar ice caps. The thing that causes the polar ice caps to melt is the rising temperature of the atmosphere. The melting of the polar ice caps is bad because it raises the level of the ocean. When the level of the ocean is raised it can cause less land to be by the ocean. Another way the rising temperatures of the Earth is catastrophic is the harm it does to some national parks. There are several national parks that are getting hit the hardest. A couple that are affected are Glacier National Park, and Joshua Tree National Park. “Across the West, bark beetles, which thrive on warmer winters, are infesting more and more pine trees, turning once-green hillsides into fire hazards” (Duncan). This is a problem because trees are major producers of oxygen, and they help take the carbon monoxide, that we breath, out of the air. Even though there is a lot of evidence that climate change is man made, there are still people who deny it and say that it occurs

Global warming has become such a prevalent topic in world politics and news. I chose the book Eaarth by Bill McKibben because global warming is becoming a large problem, and if left unheeded, global warming will destroy our environment and present brutal obstacles for our grandkids and future generations. In his book Eaarth, Bill McKibben urges us to seriously examine global warming to solve this perplexing difficulty. By increasing awareness on this threatening development, we may be able to solve this problem.

Rising temperatures are causing melting glaciers, which cause rising oceans. Rising oceans will envelop entire coastal cities, killing or displacing millions of people. Our food sources will dwindle; entire species of animals will become extinct as we destroy their homes to rebuild; and as our population skyrockets, an unimaginable number of humans will be left homeless, starving, and sick.

“False happiness in the material world is the source of distress.” –Srimad Bhagavatam. Far too common do you find a lack of happiness being compensated with materials and drugs. In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley emphasizes the need for identity with the use of soma, the savages, and the emptiness within various characters. In Brave New World, there is the recurring idea that happiness can come from drugs and conditioning.

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.

According to the statistic, average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit around the world since 1880, and the rate warming is still keeping increase. The 20th century’s last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, which is what people say global warming. Global warming not only influences the temperature but also have many bad impacts. In the article “Seafarming at the End of the World” by Peter Meehan, he mentioned that some of the ocean species are going to be driven extinct by climate change. Similarly, in the article “Global Warming Impacts” the writer shows that global warming will have bad influences in many different ways.

After watching National Geographic’s videos on global warming and learning about it though other supplementary mediums provided I can certainly agree global warming is a growing problem, that needs to be seriously addressed. Although it may not be a threat at the current moment, global warming will become a serious problem that we as a planet will not be able to control or reduce if we do not act now. It truly terrifies me that future generations may not be able to enjoy everything this wonderful earth has to offer because of global warming. For example, on page 97 in “Intro to geophagy” by Dahlman Renwick it states how global warming will result in rising sea levels. “Rising sea level presents threats to low-lying coastal areas.” If sea levels

The warming of the Earth is not a good thing.  If the ice caps on the mountaintops were to melt it would raise the ocean by eight feet and many lives

Overall, there are very justifiable stances on viewing global warming as either benefits of the world or drawbacks. As given by the article and seen as agreeable from a reader’s perspective one can conclude that global warming would have a negative connotation and stigma for as long as it’s a problem without a solution. The effects of global warming result in the rising of sea levels, spread of diseases, droughts and destruction of environments and living species in the environment. Global warming is not too far gone that it cannot be stopped. There are many solutions that we as a society can do that will improve the worlds global warming issues such as a decrease in the destruction of the forestland because forestland can increase the amount

The first thing I want to start off with is telling you what global warming is and give you an idea of what it can do to our planet. Global warming increases temperature all around the world. It also put a lot more carbon dioxide in the air by us humans. Pollution of Carbon dioxide is one is the most common one and is mostly caused by running vehicles exhaust, burning of fossil fuels such as coal,and factory smoke.when we let carbon dioxide in the air it has nowhere to go except in our atmosphere. therefore is causes rising temperature to build up in our atmosphere over time slowly.

Second of all, global warming has caused the ozone layer to start to break. The ozone layer is a layer that absorbs the rays of the sun. There is a very big hole in the ozone layer. The breaking of the ozone layer has caused the suns rays to come down at the humans very sharp. The hole in the ozone layer lets the UV enter the atmosphere; it can cause skin cancer, general cancer in addition to many more diseases to humans. There’s a list of things humans can do to help reduce global warming including; plant a tree, carpool, take a shower instead of a bath, use less hot water, use less hot water there is a lot more to this list.

The effects of global warming touch every human, animal, plant, ocean, landmass, and atmosphere level on this planet. The numerous effects of global warming are mixes of "good" and "bad" results, depending on how your definition of "good" results and "bad" results are. A "good" effect, a person could say, would be for regions with normally cold temperatures to receive warmer temperatures for their normal. Yet, there are more "bad" effects that seem to out weight the "good" effects. Some of the effects would include increases of flooding, severe storm systems, and rising sea-levels. One major consequence would be an increase of temperature globally. This would

Global warming has a lot of causes and effects throughout the globe, including: icecaps melting, deforestation, carbon emissions, factory smoke, forest fires, coral reefs dying, and extreme weather catastrophes. All of these causes and effects listed can be prevented if only the population of people who do not believe it is real would start caring about the environment and what we release into the atmosphere.

Climate change, also know as global warming, is a huge, global issue in our world today. Eventually, our lives “may be threatened by rising sea levels, disrupted food production, extreme weather, and emergent diseases” (TGES). Since 1750 and the early 19th century, “the planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century” (NASA GCC). But why are people worried about the future of climate change? Well, global warming is dangerous to us humans. If the temperature continued to increase at the rate it is increasing now every year, the world would not be how it is today. Warmer air increases pollution in the ozone layer; this triggers symptoms of asthma and many other breathing problems. Humans won’t be the only thing that climate change will affect. Climate change will eventually cause most forests in the southeast of the U.S. to turn to grasslands; deserts might spread around the globe, and places like the tropics and polar regions will be unfit to live in (UXL Encyclopedia of Weather and Natural Disasters). In summary, the world will be uninhabitable.
