Greenhouse gases

A rain forest is an area of thriving forest where the rainfall exceeds 1000 millimetre a year. Rainforests are commonly found in a tropical climate rainforests can be found in mild climates. Forests are precious and vital to the Earth’s survival (Oxfordreference.com, 2017). Forests are important as they’re providers of food, home to many animal and carbon sinks. A major carbon sink is the photosynthesis in plants. As photosynthesis is the production of sugar by using carbon dioxide and sunlight

discussed several different topics of great concern to global warming; such as permafrost, climbs in temperature, extinction of species, drought, and fatigue to name a few. Four writers in five different articles discussed the three topics of greenhouse gases, climate change, and causes of global warming. These writers are writer and scholar Bill McKibben in “Think Again: Climate Change” and “How Close to catastrophe”; William J. Broad, writer for the New York Times in “From a Rapt audience, a call

warming refers to the rise in global average temperature caused by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, hydrochlorofluocarbons, hydrofluocarbons, chlofluocarbons and sulphurhexafluoride. Much like covering oneself with a blanket and feeling warm, greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation from the sun which ensure favorable temperatures for living organisms and life processes. However, when such gases exceed acceptable concentrations in the atmosphere they absorb more

atmospheric climate over time is a direct result of human activities that cause significant and harmful climate changes including. Therefore in this manner numerous countries confront that immediate international action has to be performed to diminish greenhouse gas emissions to avoid serious atmospheric changes 2. At the Paris climate summit in 2015, 195 nations endorsed a notable accordance to decrease the carbon radiations, with the

Son T. Chau Professor Hansen ENGWR 302 November 1, 2016 First Draft Humans are Responsible for Global Warming On November 8th, American citizens will go to the polls and vote for the next president of the United States. During the presidential campaign, both candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have their own different points of view on environmental issues. Hillary Clinton affirms her commitment to the fight against climate change. She supports the Paris Agreement, which is an agreement

and environment. Greenhouse gases ,such as carbon dioxide, is absorb and emits heat into the earths atmosphere, keeping the Earth warm enough to support life. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, are adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Earth must get rid of energy at the same rate it receives energy. More greenhouse gases means that more heat is being held in the atmosphere, which makes the temperatures higher. All the greenhouse gases people have added

themselves produce 150 billion gallons of methane per day. Methane is 50 times more destructive than carbon dioxide. All the greenhouse gases being emitted causes climate change and with the rate we are going at, by 2050 there will be 80% of emissions into the atmosphere. Manure is also plays a part in pollution and 7 million pounds of it is being produced a day. With feces comes toxic gases like ammonia, 80% of ammonia is produced from feces. The problem with ammonia is that it causes breathing issues. Reducing

change if a positive effect is to be caused on the climate and recreate a safe environment. Changes such the reduction of burning less fossil fuels which reduces greenhouse gases, changes in public perception are needed to clean the environment. One change that has to be made in industries is to burn less fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gases. According to James E. Hansen, in the article, “Climate Change is Here - And Worse Than We Thought” he says, “ We can solve the challenge of climate change with

Overview Global warming are the environmental and social changes caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases. Human activities have been the primary cause of this significant change, resulting with extreme weather conditions, increasing sea level, and climate changes. In this paper I will compare and contrast natural versus anthropogenic climate changes of global warming, mitigation strategies, mitigation effectiveness, policy implications, costs, and address some policy changes to help stabilize

Without the natural greenhouse effect that these two gases produce, the Earth’s average temperature would be roughly −20°C. However, because the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor can vary on Earth, we know that this natural greenhouse effect has produced a climate system which is naturally unstable and rather unpredictable. The effect of climate change on the planet and various
