Should Humans Have Change The Outcome Of Global Warming?

Decent Essays

Avogadro, Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac are names that ring bells in a person’s head when they think back to their first chemistry class. As pronounced as their names and discoveries are now, most people probably could not recall what they all brought to the slightly sloppy science of chemistry; the fundamental understanding of gases. Though they are long gone they might have been surprised to find that beyond their lab tables a giant open system of gas operated around them every second. Back then, this system was running fine, but presently, current humans find themselves in the dilemma of understanding how this ambiguous giant system works everyday to support their lives and even in fixing what may or may not be broken about it. The purpose of this study is to explore options that humans have to change the outcome of global warming by looking at what the primary causes are and what options are available by reviewing current research in the field of geology. This will be done over the subject of the gases, which contribute to global warming, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and methane. During the 1950’s scientists began creating models of climate on earth and how it works on the full scale. As time passed it became increasingly clear that global warming could be an issue until the 2000’s when the world was able to see the greenhouse model in effect. At this time we understand the basic make up of the atmosphere to be mostly nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and some noble gases.
