more prevalent over the years. It has become a concern to me because my health is affected as well. Not only does it impact our health and well-being, air pollution is causing multiple environmental disturbances, including contributing to global warming and global dimming. The existence of air pollution has been around since the early days. Air pollution is the introduction of a harmful or poisonous substance in the air. There are

Broome also reminds the reader, who is most likely from a developed country, that the western lifestyle causes the greatest damage, yet the global indigenous societies, who contribute virtually nothing to greenhouse gas emissions, will be hit the hardest. I found this introductory chapter to be very powerful and the rest of the book was easy to absorb because I was constantly thinking back to

Trees are one of the most important and vital organisms on our planet earth. They’re very good for our environment and our world because: one, probably most importantly, is that they produce oxygen. Oxygen is one of our most vital assets to how we live, because we have to have oxygen to breath, and we have to breathe to live. Just think if there were no trees on this planet, there wouldn’t be very much life at all. Maybe a few non-oxygen using organisms if there are any may be roaming around but

forcings, or anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in the landuse” The UNFCC also defines climate change as “a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over time periods.” Climate change is influenced by the greenhouse effect which is the increase of Carbon dioxide, Methane, Ozone and Nitrogen Oxide. On one hand, the presence

Brooke Lee Ms. Swindell English 4 20 October, 2014 Global Warming In order to successfully understand how hazardous global warming is you must fully understand the way it affects us. It is crucial to know that it is not only killing our environment but also our health. This can event in several severe consequences if we do not stop global warming soon our health will truly suffer the consequences. Global warming is steadily increasing over the years causing the years to become increasing warmer.

bias. As a society, we should rethink some opinions and investigate numerous perspectives before making judgments in order to avoid prejudice. An intimidating ordeal that has received much attention in the media is climate change caused by global warming. Global warming is a gradual rise in the general temperature of earth’s atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect, which is caused by increasing carbon dioxide levels, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. The greenhouse effect occurs when solar

international organizations, industrial professionals and federal governments have been working on addressing one of the major challenges the world has been challenged to this day which widely is known as Global Warming. The Kyoto protocol is the well-known abiding playground internationally recognized as a global treaty placing obligations on developed nations to significantly minimize their Green House Gas emissions first adopted in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. Three actions are recommended for the UN to take

Industrial Revolution.” now, obviously there are some issues with this, and more than a few theories pertaining to it; all of which relate to the primary culprits of the gases. Things like the burning of fossil fuels, as an example. Other things like global deforestation, the clearing of huge swaths of Amazon Basin, and even cattle! Unfortunately, there are a number of conflicting opinions as to whether or not any or all of these are contributing factors of climate change. One of the major concerns

Fossil fuels are finite resources that come from the earth, including sources such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal. All are used to generate electricity and power advanced industrial nations, but there is a lurking danger just under the skin of fossil fuel usage. In our homeland, the United States of America, it is obvious that all of us, in one form or another, use fossil fuels. Almost all of our kids, and their kids as well, will grow up in America and, like the current generation, use fossil

protecting life on earth from the deadly UV rays and harmful global temperature rise. All around the world today the ozone layer is constantly depleting and the overall global temperature is constantly heating up whether anyone is acknowledging it or not, but there is a cause. Ozone layer depletion and global climate change are naturally occurring events that have been extremely and negatively heightened by human life. Not many people know what global warming or the ozone layer actually is. The ozone layer
