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. According to NASA, the hottest year on record was 2005, which was the same as 1998. In the last ten years, twice

Global warming is already taking place. It stopped being a prediction. The temperature at the earth’s surface has averagely increased by around 0.60 C.Both the oceans and the air are warming. It is believed that the greenhouses gases’ concentrations in the atmosphere have increased dramatically since the periods of pre-industrialization. This condition is caused by the activities of human beings most especially through the burning of fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, and coal (Wang & Chameides

idea of converting waste to energy and using incinerators because if we look at the facts and how good converting waste to energy and using incinerators is if we want to save the environment we will find that it is not at it emits toxic gases like methane and carbon monoxide which are not only toxic for us but are considered greenhouse gases too. People who support waste to energy and the use of incinerators are not considering the fact that it emits way more greenhouse gases although it manages

In truth, before taking this class I never really cared about the environment, sure I would hear the occasional uproar about the effects of global warming or the growing hole in the ozone layer, however, it was always a non-factor. My passion has always been humans, their problems were my problems and I am always looking for a way to make their lives better. So, the planet may have been dying the ice caps may have been melting, however I always believed that one day humans would solve the problems

Darvon Millsaps Millsaps 1 Mr. Armao English 1A 24 April 2015 The Cause for Global Warming Global warming refers to the drastic change in climate. But who are the ones that cause global warming? Is it the people of earth or is it just the natural change in climate as the world ages? People claim that it’s just a natural change in climate, that the people have only a little influence on the climate.

Formed when organic matter gradually concentrates over the span of millions of years, fossil fuels constitute the world 's primary source of energy. Upon extraction, they are processed in refineries to create invaluable raw
