The Effects Of Global Warming On The World

A famous photo called Earth Rise was taken in December of 1968 by an astronaut named William Anders. This photo changed the way people thought of the earth and the environment. The first Earth Day was organized less than two years later (Gore 456). Al Arnold Gore Jr. was born in Washington, D.C. in 1948, where his father was serving as a congressman from the State of Tennessee. For 8 years Al Gore was the Vice President of the United States. It was following his run with politics, Al Gore became involved with the environment. In 2004, Al Gore gave a speech at Yale University called, “The Climate Emergency”. In this speech, he would support his claims with facts and statistics and appeal to

With more extreme dry conditions in some parts of the world, there is much higher chance of severe wildfires occurring.

We hear about it on the news, we read about it in our textbooks, and it’s happening now. This “it” is global warming that is slowly tearing our earth apart. Mankind itself has been causing the earth’s temperatures to rise approximately 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880 due to constant emission of carbon dioxide from carbon based fuels. This includes industrialization, deforestation, and pollution which has greatly increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide which result in trapping heat near Earth’s surface. Humas are putting themselves at risk as the world’s temperatures rise every year and is expected to raise 5 to 10 degrees higher by the end of the century, which is faster than it has ever been according to the National Resource Defense Council’s website. Global warming has been affecting the world at an alarming rate in various ways, one major impact is the melting of permafrost.

In news everywhere, there is always something about polar ice caps melting or the ever-rising temperatures, but most people do not think twice about it since, they are not directly affected by it. They may not be feeling the effects of global warming at the moment, but in time it will become a more widespread issue. The effects of global warming are hard to refute, and there is endless evidence of this growing problem in our world today. The continuation of global warming is a serious threat to everyone and everything on Earth.

Global Warming has been such a highly controversial topic over the past 4 decades, being the cause of many debates between both scientific and political parties. Being a student with a very strong passion for chemistry as a subject and the chemical side behind large scale environmental issues, I believe there is sufficient evidence to suggest that human activity has had a negative effect on Greenhouse Gas emissions and has become the leading cause of the increased rate in which climate change is occurring.

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.

There is no doubt that global warming becomes one of the most dangerous, serious and popular issues in the 21st century. It is possible to identify the probable and effective solutions by means of the population around the world to reduce negative effects on our planet. Joseph and Roy (2014) points out 97% of the scientists and professionals are trying to discover the best explanations, which can prevent our world from violent disasters that can damage the lives and wealth of all nations and animals. This essay will consider how global warming worsens day by day, the consequences of global warming and the solutions to overcome it.

If you look at our planet in the 1950s you would see that the continents Europe and North America would be 4 feet closer together. There would also be 2/3 less humans as there is now on Earth., earth, twice as many trees covering the land and, three times as muck drinking water available to us. Another reason of future human extinction is coming is the rapid climate change. The rapid climate change is causing the Arctic ice cap to melt at a fast pace. The human race would become extinct by over population, more devastating natural disasters, along with continents converging together.

If the whole world starts saving energy at home, we can reduce global warming by a significant amount to keep the global temperature from reaching critical tipping points of temperature. The rising global climate is a problem, and is impacted severely by human actions, specifically the waste of energy in their own homes.

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 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.

Global warming is one of the most alarming and pressing issues that the world faces today. Global warming is the rise of the earth’s temperature over time. The damaging effects of global warming have become more and more apparent, with more tropical storms and hurricanes causing massive destruction, more animal species losing their habitats and coming under threat, rising sea levels, etc.

Nowadays, we are facing a lot of environmental threats, and the main of them are air pollution, water pollution and global warming. Air pollution is caused by substances that may harm living things or damage non-living things. Some common atmospheric pollutants are carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and so on. Industry production, usage of non-clean energy and vehicles are three main sources of air pollution. Water pollution includes natural pollution and man-made pollution. Due to the dissolution of geological, atmospheric precipitation leaching, erosion on the ground, mix the various pollutants into the water. Man-made pollution is made by industrial wastewater, daily life sewage and pesticide and fertilizer pollution. Global warming is related to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Due to the existence of greenhouse gases, the radiation, which comes from the Sun and reaches the Earth’s surface, is reflected back to Earth, making the temperature of Earth’s surface higher and higher.
