Taking a Look at Climate Change

“The Earth has cancer and the cancer is man.” This contentious quote was said by Mihaljo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel, the two authors who wrote the book Mankind at a Turning Point. In this book Mihaljo and Eduard talk about how our actions as mankind are killing, spoiling, and taking for granted the Earth that we are given. Some people think that the heating of Earth is natural and is inevitable no matter what mankind has to do with it. Whether man is affecting the warmth of earth, or if it is just a natural ongoing process is an open-ended and continuous argument. Because of its reoccurring and destructive circumstances the Greenhouse Effect has become a dilemma that is being researched and worked against amongst the world.

If we are going to look at the consensus on climate change we should start by defining which group of people is supposed to be reaching that consensus. All scientists are supposed to know all there is to know about every field of science; 17,000 scientists signed a petition saying there's no convincing evidence that greenhouse gases will disrupt the earth's climate; 31,000 scientists are saying that global warming is beneficial. A lot a meteorologist become weather forecasters or pilots or teachers or homemakers or businesspeople. There are no longer Geophysicist who specialize in measuring seismic and magnetic anomalies. So the petition suggestion that everyone with a degree in meteorology or geophysics knows a lot about climate change or is familiar with all the research that's been done. Phil Chapman was described as a geophysicist when he wanted to promote his thoughts on climate but his bio on NASA's website shows that he was a physicist who specialized in aeronautical instrumentation. Tim Ball has a variety of titles 28 years professor of climatology at the University of Winnipeg, 32 years as Professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg, a former climatology professor. Professor Tim Ball of the Department of climatology at the University of Winnipeg; first of all there is no climatology department at the University Winnipeg, climatology was just one small element of the geography course that you taught your major was in geography and you were geography

There are various human and natural causes of global warming. All these causes contribute to the amount of greenhouse gases which are the major cause of warming of the earth atmosphere. Human activities like deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, emissions from manufacturing industries, emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2, CFCs, NO2 and halocarbons which is a group of gases containing fluorine, chlorine and bromine. Burning of fossil fuels like petroleum, coal, etc. release carbon which combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide which is a

Global warming: we've all heard these two words many times before. The problem is caused by us, and therefore- must be solved by us. Of course, it is going to take a few more people than those who are reading this report. The question is, do enough people know about global warming? Do they understand the real causes? Do you understand the real causes? Do you know how you are contributing to this worldwide issue? In this report I aim to inform you the answers to these questions, and some ways we can help prevent this problem.

Increasing human activity and accelerated development , the climate is changing because of human activity affects the installation of the components of the Earth's atmosphere through the buildup of gases , especially carbon dioxide , methane and nitrous oxide , a greenhouse gas known greenhouse gases and has the property of attracting heat and thus the accumulation causes global warming, despite the fact that the interaction of the Earth with the changes in the atmosphere and try this planet to modify climate , however, global warming is clear solar energy emitted by the sun shock land that absorb part of it , and unlike the other part of the spread in the atmosphere, thus heating the air above the ground , and without this process, the temperature above the ground will be very low , which makes life impossible , but increasing the concentration and accumulation of these greenhouse gases , the temperature will increase more than can its potential , which could cause problems for life above ground .

Global warming has been a hot topic for generations. Questions like "Is it natural or man-made?", "What is causing it?", or "How can we reduce it?", have stumped scientists and engineers. Most people think that reducing global warming means having to buy expensive "green" contraptions or driving electric cars, that can be dangerous, due to their size, and can take hours to charge. Those would be great things to do to reduce our impact on global climate change, but unfortunately, in our current economic state, most people don't have that kind of money. Fortunately, there are effective and cost efficient ways to reduce global warming and live a cleaner, greener and healthier life. There are many theories as to why global warming is

There are various reasons as to why global warming is happening, but it is mostly caused by greenhouse gases. An article entitled, “Global Warming and the Neglected Greenhouse Gas,” the author, Andrew Jorgensen states that the greenhouse gas emissions are the “second largest anthropogenic contributor to global warming” (Jorgensen 2006). The Greenhouse gases that are found in earth’s atmosphere are water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide which help increase and maintain the earth’s temperature. Most of the earth’s energy comes from the sun, and when

Global warming has many causes contributing to its rapid growth in the last few decades. “A NASA satellite has been mapping the changing amounts of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. In an image derived from data collected in October 2014, swirls of CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuels in the Northern Hemisphere are clearly visible” (National Geographic). This quote shows that the Northern Hemisphere is more polluted than the Southern Hemisphere, which shows a direct correlation of carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases in highly populated areas with many factories. Also, the other greenhouse gases such as water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide are becoming more and more common in the atmosphere. Many greenhouse gases are overlooked and people usually just classify it as Carbon Dioxide, but really there are other gases such as methane which is 84 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide. It is just less common. With all these gases in the atmosphere, they start to heat up the Earth. “Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation

There are two sides on what has caused global warming; chemistry, and the physical aspects. In specifics, the greenhouses are collected in the atmosphere, absorbing sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off of the earth’s surface, and can’t escape, so the air pollutants keep absorbing, and gaining heat, instead of escaping into outer space^4. Carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of combustion of fossil fuels, which is where humans burn coal and oil to heat homes, and use in vehicles. In the reaction of burning fossil fuels, O2 reacts with glucose and the end product is water, carbon dioxide and energy, shown in the chemical reaction below^2:

Global warming is caused by CO2, air pollutants, and greenhouse gases, such as CH4 and N2O. These gases have the ability to last in the atmosphere for years and trap heat. Over time, these gases start to build up in the atmosphere and absorb the sunlight that has bounced off of Earth’s surface. There are many sources as to where these gases come from. The most popular are from humans. Humans produce about two billion tons of CO2 every year from burning fossil fuels. We use fossil fuels for transportation, power plants, etc. People use gasoline to power their cars. Gasoline contains S. S+O2=SO2+Heat. SO2 has a pungent, toxic odor and it is very harmful to human health

As defined by dictionary.com, global warming is “a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.” Global warming is caused by expansion of the “greenhouse effect.” NASA states the greenhouse effect is “warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.” Some gasses that cause the greenhouse effect include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The main gas contributing to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide. The Union of Concerned Scientists writes, “We are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily drives up the planet’s temperature.” Humans are the main cause of this increase in carbon dioxide. The main source of the excess carbon is from humans burning fossil fuels. The

A predominant factor as to why global warming happens is more gas particles exposed in the air because of an increase in gases produced by industries. Gases such as CO2 and SO2 are constantly harming our environment by regularly adding more harmful gasses into our atmosphere. Due to forest fires, industries, factories, and new found technology such as the car, many harmful gas molecules are surrounding us. These harmful gas molecules collide with our healthy atmospheric particles which make the amount of gas particles increase dreadfully. Since more collisions between these different particles are occurring, the average kinetic energy is raised therefore the temperature increases as well. As more particles are added into the atmosphere, it becomes denser and gasses are getting trapped into our

Global Warming is the result of too many gases, which accumulate in the atmosphere. These chemicals build up and produce what is known as greenhouse gases. This results in temperature changes and various weather patterns. The gases, which rise up into the atmosphere retain a lot of heat, which can cause higher temperatures and more moisture in the air. Many of the pollutants in the atmosphere come from everyday human activities, such as using automobiles, factory fuels, and agricultural waste.

The main cause of global warming is due to greenhouse gases as well as other air pollutants that collect in the atmosphere. Sunlight and solar radiation that should have bounced off the earth’s surface is absorbed by these pollutants. If the pollutants weren’t in the atmosphere, radiation would escape into space. Pollutants are known to last as long as centuries within the atmosphere, they trap heat and in turn cause the planet to overheat. This is the greenhouse effect; the greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming.

Global warming has been affecting the Earth temperature for many years, caused mainly by greenhouse gases emissions from burning fuel that is used for generating power, operating vehicles, running factories and other industrial activities, all of which are human-caused and controlled, however one cannot simply live without. All of this has endangered the environment, including a tremendous rise in Earth temperature, many species becoming extinct, arctic ice melting on a rapid pace, sea levels rising dramatically, endangering people living in coastal areas, and causing many respiratory diseases to people. The entire world is seriously paying attention to these facts and investigating methods to mitigate the dangers of global warming.
