Plant And Animal Nitrous Oxide
1,631 wordsThe destruction of the rainforests is one of the most crucial environmental issues of our time. It is also one of the most misunderstood and neglected. There has been so much propaganda and publicity attached to this crisis that Save the Rainforests is becoming almost as clich as Save the Whales. Why dont we take this problem more seriously? Is it because we, as Americans, simply dont understand the devastating, long-terms consequences that continued deforestation of the rainforests would have? ...

Global Warming Greenhouse Effect
743 wordsI've chosen the topic: 'Global Warming' to analyze because it has become a major scientific and social issue during the past decade. Global Warming-the increase in greenhouse gasses- has captured broad public attention. It should be investigated because it would easily damage the nature and many soil-cultural aspects of life. In the following paragraph, I will introduce you some of the writers, such as Vaclav Smil, Ross Gelbspan, John Bongaarts and Jennifer Mccullough and their approaches to thi...

Volcanic Eruptions Greenhouse Gasses
4,222 wordsThis paper looks at the controversial issue of climatic change. In particular, it develops the question of if and why earths climate is changing? The roles of man, naturally occurring trends, and earths cycles are considered, and an outlook for what can be expected in the near and distant future is given. The uneasiness of modern man arises from a rupture between himself and nature that leaves him homeless within the universe... Over the past years most individuals have become acutely aware that...

Alternative Energy Sources Carbon Dioxide
1,085 wordsHow long can the environment endure the gradual deterioration that is increasingly instigated through car pollution? There is a tremendous environmental impact on our society that impacts us in the most unpredicted ways, and Im going to share some suitable alternatives with you. Todays technology has presented several alternatives that could potentially decrease the amount of car pollution in the environment; however, humans seemingly neglect these alternatives in favor of convenience and comfor...

Greenhouse Gasses Global Warming
770 wordsGlobal Warming: The Effects on the Global Environment When you think about what causes pollution to day, what do you first think of? The sewage from a factory spilling into the river, or is it the thick, dark, palpable cloud of smoke pouring out of the factories smokestack? Well the reason those images come to mind is because Industrial Pollution is the most visible form of pollution. In the beginning of the industrial revolution in Great Britain, it was not known nor foreseen that there would b...

Global Warming Kyoto Protocol
519 wordsThe warming also increases the water-holding capacity of the atmosphere. Thomas R, Karl explains that the increased availability of water vapor in the atmosphere also leads to a significant increase in the energy available to drive storms and associated weather fronts, therefore affecting rainfall rates, precipitation amounts, storm intensity, and related runoff. (Karl, Tomas). The loss of Brazils rainforests also causes heavier rainfall and stronger storms in various parts of the world. Since t...

Climatic Change On The Earths Temperature
1,548 wordsClimatic Change on the Earths Temperature The issue on global warming or the increase in the temperature of the Earths surface including both the air and the waters has been an issue for the humankind as far back as the late fourteenth century. In fact, people started to notice the climate change when several areas in the northern hemisphere most notably in Europe experienced extreme cold and harsh weather conditions that triggered several famines during that time; not to mention the expansion o...

Carbon Dioxide Global Warming
783 wordsIndividual proposal on global warming Recently, a series of discoveries have been made by scientists. They found the tablets of ancient summers in Iraq. Those tablets contain the most complete records of climatic terms and weather reports of all known on the Earth. Their age is about 5, 000 years. The discovery has helped to understand and estimate those phenomena which take place today with our planet. It was noticed that during those early years there were several extreme overall of the temper...

Rise In Sea Level Atmospheric Co 2
1,132 wordsGlobal Warming Debate The global warming is caused by emissions of over 20 gases into the atmosphere. The major contributors are carbon dioxide (CO 2), ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Although these gases are produced by many industrial processes, the major source is the burning of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces and automobile engines. When released into the air in large quantities, these gases cause the earths atmosphere to warm by trapping the suns heat. Infrar...

Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases
405 wordsGlobal Warming We have an obligation to weigh the risks of inaction against the cost of action. In that regard, global warming is no different than any other problem. But global warming is novel in one respect. It brings with it the possibility of global disaster, and we have only one Earth to experiment on. Michael Oppenheimer, Senior Scientist of the Environmental Defense Fund The glass panes of a greenhouse and the Earths atmosphere are both transparent to sunlight-they let in the suns energy...

1,430 words1. Explain why any one species cannot live everywhere. Any species cannot live everywhere because this would effect the natural balance. Also one species cannot adapt to all the different environments of our planet. For example a marine creature can only live underwater and cannot live on ground. 2. Explain how the activities of some species can lead to: a) an increase b) a decrease in the population size of another species. Some species act as population controllers of other species. There must...

1,972 wordsGlobal Climate Change Climate change is not a new concept; in fact there is evidence of major climate changes throughout the earths history. However since the industrial revolution and especially since world war two, there has been an unprecedented change in the earths atmosphere (Gates 4). As of March 1999, scientists reported the construction of a thousand-year record of the average temperature on earth. The results of their study concluded that a nine hundred-year cooling trend has been decis...

Plants And Animals Global Warming
709 wordsGlobal warming refers to the increase in average ground temperatures on earth. These higher temperatures across the planet are caused by an intensification of the greenhouse effect. Before recent scientific inquiries into this phenomenon, the greenhouse Effect simply referred to the natural process by which the earths atmosphere traps heat and warms the planet to a livable temperature. This heat trapping, however, has begun to escalate to possibly dangerous levels. Scientists have attributed thi...

Surface Of The Earth Nitrous Oxide
613 wordsGlobal Global Warming Introduction: Global warming is a term that describes the green house effect-that is rise in temperature of the earth. The earths climate is predicted to change because activities are altering the chemical composition of through the building up of green house gases-primarily CO 2, CH 3, N 2 O and chlorofluorocarbon. These green house gases trap energy from the sun and heat would not escape back in to space. Thus, they warm our world. But problem is arising because the atmos...

Polar Ice Caps Rise In Sea Level
2,227 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect Issue Statement While some people believe the earths climatic changes are due to the fact that the universe is getting older, others believe it is due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a naturally occuring phenomenon that is responsible for trapping heat near the earths surface and keeping the planet warm. It is called the greenhouse effect because the way it works is similar to the way in which a green house functions. In a greenhouse sunlight passes throu...
