measures changes in Earth’s gravity field by deducing satellite data and determining changes in ice mass. When considering the retreat of the Greenland and the Antarctic ice sheets it is important to understand how global warming is affecting the total mass and volume of the ice sheets. Global warming, put simply is affecting ice sheets in two main ways. Warmer temperatures cause higher levels of precipitation, which means more snowfall. On the contrary, warming temperatures cause ice sheets to thin and

Assignment 2: Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation Introduction to Physical Science xxxxxxxxxxxx December 6, 2015 Strayer University Professor xxxx xxxx One of the most all time debated and controversial topics to date in science is global warming. Over the last few decades climate change have lead scientist to develop a theories that human beings are the major contributors to the global warming crisis

How has the media’s objectivity been affected by the explosion of information sources? Will individuals increasingly live in worlds of their own ideological and moral construction by further isolating themselves from competing ideas? Are we entering an era of “choose your truth”? How does information technology further expand the same rifts between civilizations and between individuals in the same communities? How does it bridge those divides? The media has been adversely affected by the explosion

conferences all over the world, summoning the best of the scientist, to solve the increasing problems of climate change. Kyoto Protocol was born in Japan, to prevent the increase of carbon dioxide, which was considered to be the main cause of the global warming. Some nations however considered this as a threat to the stability to their economy, so they rejected it, making this project a less successful policy. However this was only the first big step; that humanity has done to handle the problems

can be leached into the soil from the waste which can seriously affect the land for animals and plants in the area. Biodegradable waste that is dumped causes a huge problem by producing the flammable gas methane which contributes to global warming. Human Activities Human activities pollute air, water and land in different ways. Oil spills are becoming a large scale problem, causing devastating effects to marine wildlife. The oil is almost impossible to clean

movies depicting global destruction with an onslaught of rapid global climate changes. Is all this news media accurate and depicting true and accurate events covering our planet and solar activity? As a reader begins to look deep into the rhetoric, they will notice that there is very little – if any – scientific data to support the coming of a “Mini Ice Age” (Mann) as indicated by the multiple media corporations. As many scientists have pointed out, we are experiencing global climate change –
