both long term and at global scale (MetOffice, 2017). Global scale includes changes like melting of glaciers, rising sea levels, diminishing of endangered species, warmer summers, spreading of diseases, rampant floods, frequent droughts, stronger hurricanes etc. Interestingly, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) defines it as a “change of climate that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity, altering the composition of the global atmosphere” (Simon-Lewis

A bill is a proposed legislation that is brought to a legislative body. In the case of the New York City Council, the bill is introduced into the Council at a Stated Meeting and becomes a law after an intricate voting or vetoing process with the Council and the Mayor of New York City (“Legislative Process”). In the last year, many bills were passed by the New York City Council. While browsing through the list of bills passed in the last year, a bill in particular stood out to me – “Reducing city

through the burning of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity production. Therefore, human activities over the past century has ultimately caused the more recent problem of the effects global warming is posing to our ecosystem and planet. Currently, statistics have proven global warming to be a global real crisis that requires an immediate solution. Through the scientific aid in earth-orbiting satellites, it has allowed

When I thought of global warming, I would think of warmer and shorter winters, longer and hotter summers. But global warming is more than we think and there is effective ways to make our world safer and healthier. In order to end global warming, we must get companies to adapt to eco-friendly manufacturing and distribution practices. But first we must educate ourselves on what global warming really is. Many ask what is global warming, well the definition of global warming is “A gradual increase

Global warming and terrorism are two transnational problems that states face in the 21st century. Globalization has brought the attention of the entire world to come together to solve the issues of collective goods for the betterment of mankind. The effects of man-made global warming and terrorism - mainly suicide terrorism, are certainly challenges that call for solutions. When solving terrorism, states must invest heavily in homeland security in order to send a powerful message towards terrorist

rising temperature of the earth’s atmosphere is termed as global warming. Through much research scientist have found that the rising temperature of the earth is highly a result of human activities since the 19th century. Global temperatures have been steadily rising and are causing devastation. Although humans alone are not completely to blame, but people should be concerned with the consequences and how to stop global warming. Global warming happens when carbon dioxide, air pollutants, and greenhouse

I believe the world is being faced with a serious issue of global climate change due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process in the Earth's atmosphere that warms the planet. Without the greenhouse effect, on average, the Earth's surface would be about 60oF colder. The greenhouse effect occurs when visible light from the sun passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the Earth's surface. Some of that energy is then sent back to the atmosphere as heat

Global warming is a worldwide natural phenomenon in which the world average temperature slowly increases. This increase in temperature leads to certain problems around the world, such as rising sea levels and more frequent and intense heat waves. This paper will explore the causes and effects of global warming, and finally conclude with a few solutions that could delay global warming. One main cause of global warming is the “greenhouse effect”. According to NASA, this can be described as warming

Nicholas Moorman 11/7/17 English Composition Global Warming Is global warming leading toward the extinction of humanity? Americans spend billions of dollars on global warming every year but is it really worth it? The earth is warming up, the glaciers are melting, the sea level is rising, and it seems like natural disasters are occurring more often. Americans are looking for solutions to this problem, but it is taking a hefty chunk out of their wallets. Before we get into the meat of these questions

Global warming is one of the greatest challenges the world faces today. One of the leading causes of global warming is the drastic increase in carbon dioxide emissions created by the burning of fossil fuels for energy. The consequences of global warming have far reaching effects, ranging from personal to social to economic global scenarios. However, the path of current destruction facing the planet can be altered by using energy more efficiently, thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gases. Global
