The Effects Of Global Warming On The Environment

The first video I watched was “An Inconvenient “by Al Gore. In this video Gore is explaining about how the earth has became hotter than it ever has before. The ten hottest years we have ever had have been in the last fourteen years. According to the video the hottest year was in 2005. From Gore’s viewpoint we as the people are causing global warming by ourselves. Because we are the ones that are causing global warming it is having some major effects on the earth. You have Mt. Kilimanjaro, which over the years has had a lot of snow on top of the mountain, but over the years the mountain has been getting less and less snow. Global warming is not a political issue it is a moral issue that we have to make better. The reason we have stronger storms today is because of the temperature increase according to Gore. An example of a huge storm would be hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. In today’s world we worry about terrorist, but we should really be worrying about global warming. If we don’t take this seriously our Artic is going to be completely melted. Some of our states such as Florida and New York will be under water. Gore says we need to work together and stand up before it is to late and the place we call home is gone.

Global warming can be defined as the increase in the earth's sea level due to an increase in surface temperature. In decades past, there have been debates on what can be causing global warming. Greenhouse gasses and ozone depletion are one of the most important factors that geologists are facing in the fight against global warming. It presents a major problem for not only geologists, but also for policy makers, foresters, scientists, and most definitely the inhabitants of the Earth. Greenhouse effects consist of natural processes in which the temperature of the earth stays habitable. There are also many medical issues and health hazards that can harm humans, due to global warming and climate change. The ozone is also a major defense

Global warming is a gradual process of heating of earth’s surface and whole environment including oceans, ice caps, etc. The global rise in atmospheric temperature has been clearly noticed in the recent years. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in the past century there is increase in the earth’s surface average temperature by around 1.4-degree Fahrenheit. It has also been estimated that global temperature may increase by another 2 to 11.5 degrees F in the next century.

Global warming, by definition, is the increasing average temperature on a global scale. Many scientists agree that the primary cause of this phenomenon is the collection of various “greenhouse gases” and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These gases are said to come from the burning of fossil fuels in order to produce electricity, which has been gradually but greatly increasing since approximately 1750. For the most part, global warming, or climate change, is a universally accepted truth – but for some reason, there is a large resistance to the legitimacy of it.

Climate Change also referred to as Global warming, is the process of long term change in the earth’s climate. The increase of “average” atmospheric temperature is the effect. Global Warming is caused by many natural and even manmade processors that continue to affect our environment. The two main contributors to the climate change is the release of carbon dioxide and methane gases. The cost and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. Balance can be difficult to access for moderate climate change and there will be more negative consequences due to larger changes in climate, which will make life much more harder. Global warming has become a threat to everything and everyone that live on Earth. The question that remains now is, how can we fix this global epidemic? Can reducing our carbon footprint for example, as in buying more fuel efficient cars, cutting back travel, recycling, reducing energy needs, making homes a little bit greener than before help this problem?

Society should be educated about the causes of global warming due to the way people are treating the environment. According to a continuous study done by N.A.S.A. the Earth’s global temperature has risen by 0.8 degrees Celsius, 1.4 if converted into degrees Fahrenheit, since the year 1880. Currently sitting at 14.82 degrees Celsius, predicted to rise another 6.4 degrees Celsius during the 21st century, human activities continue to add carbon dioxide into the air. Global energy all depends on how much is radiated from the sun and how much is released back into outer space. When humans over produce CO2 some of the energy is unable to escape, causing a greenhouse effect continually heating the globe. Global Warming, also known as the Greenhouse effect, is a problem everyone will soon have to face.

Global warming is the increase of the Earth's atmosphere’s overall temperature, caused by the greenhouse effect, that includes increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. There have been several indications that global warming is caused by humans. For example, the burning of fossil fuels, like coal to heat a home, causing greenhouse gases^4. There are a lot of arguments that global warming is a hoax, but with science backing the global warming case, it is actually happening, and it is in the early stages that i could possibly be reversed if the human race act now.

Global climate change is having disastrous effects on the planet and it is too late to change many of these impacts. However, there are some that can be limited by changes humans make in their daily lives. There is scientific evidence that shows how global warming is impacting the Earth. One example is how the global temperature has risen a few tenths of a degree (Sandor 2004). This may not sound like much but it can have huge effects on the plant life, like trees blooming earlier which in return affects animal life and more (Sandor 2004). Global climate change is mainly caused by the greenhouse effect and human activity and the impacts will eventually lead to devastation unless the current solutions are implemented.

Presently, climate change is one of the largest threats to the Earth, and all recent research points to an anthropogenic cause. As humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere where they remain at unprecedented levels. As a result, greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and trap the radiation as heat, which should have left the atmosphere and entered outer space. This heat causes a gradual increase in the average temperature of the oceans and atmosphere, which scientists believe is permanently changing the climate of the Earth. Global warming is already greatly altering the surface of the planet, with many observable effects that include sea level rise, droughts, species loss, glacier melt, and ocean acidification (U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2016b). Recent studies also indicate that global warming is also responsible for altering the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones. Observation has pointed towards warming ocean temperatures as responsible for fueling stronger hurricanes and the creation of fewer storms annually. This phenomenon is of concern due to the historically immense damage caused by high intensity tropical cyclones.

Every place becomes warmer because people always do the things that would damage the planet. For example the people usually use the air conditioner, this would discharge a lot of greenhouse air. That is too late to save it from complete destruction when climate change has damaged the planet beyond repair. Global warming is caused by the factory and cars always discharge CO2. ’ Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet.’ (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2011) Some people think that it is not a serious problem to damage the planet or they can still save the planet. However, Global warming has already caused serious destruction to the planet and it is too late to save it because the planet start to arise many problems and people cannot do anything to help the planet.

Global warming is called by some as a threat to all people on all nations while others disregard it as another publicity stunt by the media. Research tends to indicate that humans have caused most of the past century 's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. The result is global warming with the weather patterns shifting and glaciers melting, the world we know today is slowly dissipating as these changes bring about dramatic consequences for all on the planet including humans and other animals. There have been many claims about the seriousness of global warming as well as the root cause of the problem. While there are are well-founded claims, others are completely fallacious.

Every living organism in the world needs water to survive. Unfortunately, the world has a continually diminishing freshwater supply. With the severity of global climate change and the continued increase in population, the outlook for freshwater ecosystems is bleak. Numerous steps have already been taken to solve the water scarcity problem but the methods being used are not getting the job done. These methods include wastewater recycling, desalination of seawater, and harvesting rainwater. While these methods are helping water scarcity, they cost millions of dollars and are only temporary fixes. Something has to change or human beings are going to run the world dry. Instead of throwing money and resources at creating new technology to

Imagine this, it is one hundred and two degrees outside. The polar ice caps are gone along with all the people and animals dependent on them for their survival. Long, intense heat waves continue scorching the Earth. Global warming is a problem that some people choose to ignore. They claim it doesn’t exist. Global warming is real. It is time for people to stop ignoring it and start finding a solution.

Since our earliest adaptations, our species has always been dependent on this Earth. Long before we raised our bows and became hunters, our gathering instincts lead us to drink from rivers, collect berries, and plant seeds. We asked for nutrients, and so the Earth provided. Through hundreds of years, however, we have rapidly increased our planet 's destruction, and so when we ask for the same nourishment, the Earth had a different answer. Instead of the plains of grass, and springs of fresh water that previously greeted us, we have become accustomed to the polluted wastelands that surround us in our day to day lives. The fact of the matter is: by killing our planet, we have begun to kill ourselves as well.

The world is increasingly getting warmer each year, and these increasing temperatures could have the effect of destabilizing the status quo. It has been widely asserted that the increasing global mean temperatures are culminated from human actions. In neglecting care of the environment, humans have essentially instigated a deterioration of living conditions. The increasing temperatures will create a domino effect, by causing environmental conditions that could amplify the rate of extinction of rare species. At the current moment, a number of species are facing a real danger of extinction. Unless the situation is addressed, future generations will face the brunt of the environment damage that has been created thus far. It is even plausible for human extinction to occur, although it may not be in the near future, it is still a possibility. It is the current generation’s responsibility to ensure, or rather play a role in, the vitality of future generations.
