The Problem Of Global Warming

Drastic weather conditions, as a result of heatwaves, take a toll on people worldwide, and the effects are lasting. “In 2015, for example, scientists said that an ongoing drought in California – the states worst water shortage in 1,200 years – had been intensified by 15 percent to 20 percent by global warming.” (“Global Warming 101”). Global warming also has the power to extend and increase the chances of heatwaves, heighten magnitudes of storms, and increase rainfall dramatically. As the temperatures continue to rise, it allows water vapor to enter into the atmosphere causing a more humid environment. The hotter and humid environment causes water vapor to evaporate and this is where storms gain their power. (“The Impact of

Within the last fifty years, global temperature has increased significantly faster than the past 650,000 years. In the next one hundred years, the global temperature is supposed to rise by three to nine degrees. This may not seem like such a big change however, with a rise in temperature, many negative consequences will being to show. Some of these consequences include but are not limited to destroying the O-zone, increase in disease, powerful weather disasters, rising sea levels, and overall decrease in health for all things living on Earth. If people do not become informed by the consequences of what they do every day, humans may no longer have a planet to call home.

Recently all news and media has been revolving around politics, Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, and the Kardashian’s. The United States has lost sight of the bigger picture and has put aside the state of our planet in order to focus on immediate matters. This is understandable, but once we choose a president and once one event is over, the next one comes into the spotlight and leaves no room for people to worry about our planet.

Barack Obama once said, “Climate change is no longer some far-off problem; it is happening here, it is happening now.” One section of climate change Obama talks about is global warming. This major topic has been a developing controversy around the world. Global warming is a growing problem in the world and it needs to be solved. Global warming is a growing problem that can be seen in the history, cause, effect, different aspects, and possible solutions.

Global warming is a huge concern in society that is only growing bigger because people either are not well informed about it, or they are not concerned about it. Some think that it will just go away and others still believe that it doesn’t exist, even though there is hundreds if not thousands of pieces of evidence that supports otherwise. One of the biggest pieces of evidence that proves global warming is real is the effect that photosynthesis has on global warming.

Motorised vehicles have been the mainstay of transportation for the past 200 years or so, and we cannot imagine a world without such a reliable machine, however, the pressing issue of global warming has become relevant for these vehicles and for the wider population on an international scale. Oil is the main source of energy in the world, we call it petrol, but this source of fuel is not reliable nor is it environmentally stable for future use. It is stated by Barrett and Worden (2016), that the burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 Giga tons of CO2 every year. Taking into account the natural processes of plant life, that can only absorb half of those emissions the world creates, in which on average creates a net worth of

The issue of global warming should be on the list of our top priorities. Studies show that the average of global temperatures have risen since the Industrial Revolution began. Since the Industrial Revolution, human emissions has quadrupled the frequency of certain heat extremes and many scientists have warned that a failure to bring greenhouse gases under control could eventually lead to a 62-fold increase in extreme heat blasts (Gillis Justin A17). Most of the increase is due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These activities contribute to a build-up in carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is made of gases like nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gases act as a blanket that covers and gives us warmth, but once these gases such as carbon dioxide absorbs heat, but does not release it back into space in which causes the increase in global temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect because it only traps heat but does not release it.

Global warming is no longer just a prediction it is actually happening. It is undisputed that the average temperature at the surface of Earth has increased over the past century by 1 degree Fahrenheit, with both the air and the oceans warming. Since 1880, when people in many locations first began to keep temperature records, the 25 warmest years have all occurred within the last 28 years. The problem is that if we keep on hurting our own environment and ecosystems we are just going to destroy ourselves sooner or later. If we don’t start to change the way we are doing things around the United States with our factories, the way we dispose of things, or the way we get affected by the pollution, we will see some major issues in the future. This paper will examine the problem of Global Warming in the United States. The paper will first discuss how global warming works, and why it is damaging not only our lives but the lives of the animals around the United States and other major issues. It will also address the consequences for global warming for such a long time of a period. Next the paper discusses three environmental solutions to the problem of global warming: wildlife affects, glaciers and sea levels, the weather patterns. The paper will first explain each global warming solution. Then it will analyze the pros and cons, and potential strengths and weakness of each solution. Last this paper will offer some personal observations of the

Global warming and the environment are two topics that have become more and more relevant in today’s discussions. With the help of political figures such as Al Gore and the outreach of charities for help such as the World Wildlife Fund, American citizens have become more aware of their impact on the environment and the effects they have on the Earth. Not only is the United States concerned with these changes, countries such as England, Australia and Canada are joining in on trying to limit the causes. Global warming is an international phenomenon that was brought on by humans, has caused environmental and economic changes, and has spurred controversy between people and nations.

“It’s a well-kept secret, but 95 per cent of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO2 emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error,” writes Maurice Newman, chief business advisor to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott (Dunn). With this bold declaration, Australia thrust itself onto the international stage where it was widely criticized and condemned by the United Nations and environmental supporters worldwide. Already behind the world in climate change legislation, Australia quickly became the face of global warming denial.

Global warming presents a huge problem in the world today, but not every scientist believes this. They think that the weather is just supposed to change naturally. If you look around there is evidence to support this theory. The sea level is rising, the global temperature has become warmer, the oceans are not as cold, and the Arctic ice has begun to disappear. Greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer also contributes to Global warming. There are many predictions about Global warming, the Greenhouse effect, sea level rising. Scientist have various predictions on how life on Earth will change by the year 2100.

The author explains how America worries more than Europe about all nature of global security, while Europe worries more about global warming. These explains the dependency that Europe has on America, they don 't need to worry about any military action or terrorist attacks, because America has them covered and that shows how weak that have become military wise. A better way to put this is Americans are “Cowboys” according to Europeans, there is some true to this, the United States does act as an international sheriff trying to enforce some peace. Using this Wild West analogy Europe is the saloon keeper. Outlaws shoot sheriffs not saloon keepers. As we discussed in class America always tries to stick their head in everything, just like Obama tried to sooth the tension between the Palestinians and Israelis, but made matters worse. How he tried to be the world police and wanted to get involved with business that isn 't his or getting involved with policies that he is not aware of. Obama also showed signs of managing world problems when he sent a tremendous amount of money to Iran, so they do not have the chance to expose to the world their weapons of mass destructions, and he believed that sending cash would buy us some time to avoid danger. Sometimes it is only right for America to act like the world 's police, and help out countries that are in danger. Europeans claim they know what it is like to live with danger, to exist side by side with evil, and that danger now being

With the increasingly serious problem of global warming, Australia’s climate has warmed since 1950. ("State of the Climate 2014: Bureau of Meteorology", 2016) Compared with air conditioners which required for high cost, electricity expense and health hazard (under an enclosed environment, there has poor air circulation and air quality which would have negative effect for human body. Moreover, without appropriate maintenance, some particulate matter such as bacterial, pesticides and allergens can enter houses from outside environment which will cause health problems.)

Transportation uses fossil fuels to run and as a result, it produces gases such as carbon
