    primary issue with global warming is whether humans are causing the planet’s climate to warm to damaging levels. Contrary to what the mainstream and social media would lead people to believe, global warming is most likely a natural cycle that planet Earth witnesses. Considering that politicizing global warming has become a national distraction, much of the discussion has become vague as to what is even at the core of the debate. To comprehend the debate about global warming, one needs to understand

    The greenhouse effect occurs when the major gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and water vapour which then will trap heat in the atmosphere therefore those gasses act as a thick layer outside the planet surrounding the whole planet to control the climate (REF). If we did not have this layer that surrounds the planet and keeps it warm, the temperature would drop and it would not be inhabitable for humans. (REF) Containing this heat causes heat waves, droughts, and climate changes

    history. According to EPA’s recently published document “Causes of Climate Change”, “ Earth 's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system. In the past before the industrial revolution, global warming existed in Earth naturally. Natural emission of greenhouse gases, volcanic eruptions,and solar activity rather played a major role in increasing temperature in earth. During that time period, global warming was an earth’s balancing activity to keep the

    predicted by global warming scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate that the average temperatures of the globe could possibly increase between 1.4℃ and 5.8℃ by the year 2100. This temperature rise can and will possibly affect planet Earth in many different ways. The effects and changes of global warming are many. Changes include rising sea levels due to melting of glaciers and at the Earth’s polar ice caps. Ice is melting worldwide in mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica

    providing us with electricity that light up our homes, or fuel that gets our cars running, taking us from point A to B.

Lankford). This can then be seen as a problem made by human activity. The questions that are to be explored are; How is global warming caused and the effects? How it can be prevented or stabilized

    In response, the scientist who discovered the Van Allen belts, James Van Allen, proposed a controversial method of removing the trapped radiation. He suggested that a nuclear detonation in space might cause the trapped protons to escape from the Earth 's magnetic field. The theory was never directly tested, but a similar test that detonated a 1.4 megaton bomb in the atmosphere showed that in fact more radiation was added as a result~cite{popsci}. The second source of space radiation is called

    study of Earth is essentially founded upon mankind’s human nature to fathom its origins. While it was formerly believed that intelligent life was distinctive to Earth, we have acquired an admiration that even though Earth is probably not singular, the reality of developed life on planets may considerably be unfamiliar. We have not yet recognized other stars that have planets similar to that of Earth, noting that none of the other planets possess compound, satisfactory life the way Earth can. It
