Carbon Dioxide Emissions Set An Example
1,843 words... in their distribution. There should be a mandated Fossil Fuel Efficiency Standard that would be applied to every generator of electricity in the country. It would set a "nationwide allowance for the average fossil fuel used per unit of energy produced and would also include a schedule of cutting fossil allowances in half over the next twenty years" (213). Afterwards, each year the allowance for fossil fuel to be used would be less from the year before. The companies would be forced to increa...

Released Into The Atmosphere Greenhouse Gases
958 wordsGlobal warming is an increase in the earth's temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. (Melissa Phillips). This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. (Caroline Quatman). Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and warms its surface; while longwave infrared radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed, and then re-emitted by trace gases. (Brent C. Willhoite) Climate changes occu...

1,647 wordsWhy are the Heads of State Increasingly Worried About Global Warming? In the last few decades the worlds sea levels have risen, the weather has become more unpredictable and countries are now facing hotter summers with colder winters. This is due to global warming, which is becoming an increasingly real problem. But why is global warming a problem? If scientists theories are correct, then the results world over would be catastrophic. Global warming is the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmo...

Global Warming A Deadly Threat For Human Life
1,510 wordsGlobal warming is one of the major environmental issues facing the world today. Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. An increase in the temperature of the Earths surface may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. One cause for Global Warming is called the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect results from a four step process. First, sunl...

Carbon Dioxide Methane Renewable Energy Sources
1,623 wordsBy the middle of the twenty first century, there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history, and quite possibly since the end of the dinosaurs, some 65 billion years ago. If we stay at the rate we our now (fossil fuel consumption / growth in population) then within the next two century the Earth's air might not be fit to breath. Many people in the world do not think that this is a major concern and that it is normal for the Earth's temperature to incr...

On contrary, in March Western European countries were trembling from cold and gloomily cast a glance at dark snowy sky mixed up with rain. People were surprised by so-called global warming. Really, winter turned out to be unusually cold, and spring came considerably late. However, this circumstance can serve no refutation of thesis...

Climate Change And Global Warming Part 1
1,817 wordsClimate Change and Global Warming (1) The problem of Global warming is considered to be one of the most troubling issues of the contemporary era. It has been noticed that the average air temperature in different parts of the world is being on the constant rise, ever since the humanity's existence began to depend more and more on exploitation of fossil fuels. While in 1870 the carbon fuel emissions in the air were almost non-existent, in 2000 their amount has reached 6 billion tons. Many scientis...

This is why the solution to Global warming has nothing to do with awakening of peoples environmental awareness, as politically-correct politicians would like us to believe. One time environmentalists were suggesting that the thinning of ozone layer over Antarctica was a direct result of people using aerosol sprays. John Dunn says: Ozone depletion did serve a useful Green purpos...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Back Into Space
2,129 wordsGeology - Climate change Global warming and climate change has become one of the most heated environmental issues recently that has triggered a lot of controversial responses. Because sunlight is constantly falling on the earth, the law of physics says that the planet has to radiate the same amount of energy back into space. Infrared radiation is sent out by the earth through the atmosphere, where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold outgoing radiation for a while, warming the surface. The molecules ...

Humankind's actions on a global scale have changed not just the landscape of the Earth, but the world's climate too. Increasingly sophisticated measurements of the world's climate and weather systems have provided a wealth of evidence that the Earth has been getting steadily warmer. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, atmos...

Stop Global Warming Carbon Dioxide
1,721 wordsEFTHIMIOS MARIAKAKIS The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse gasses, very few rays would be absor...

Effects Of Global Warming Carbon Dioxide
1,403 wordsThe Problem of Global Warming First discovered at the turn of the century by the Swedish scientist Arrhenius, global warming was initially thought to only cause increased greenhouse gases from coal combustion emissions. It wasn? t until fifty years later that the real causes and effects of global warming would be discovered. A British scientist by the name of Calendar correlated the 10 % increase of atmospheric Carbon Dioxide between 1850 and 1940 with the observed warming of northern Europe and...

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide
1,434 wordsCarbon dioxide plays a major part of impacting the Earth s climate. Carbon dioxide traps heat form the sun. This effect is considered global warming, which is often referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect traps solar heat, like a green house for plants, which causes the solar energy from being released. Global warming or the greenhouse effect is believed to have been causing our temperatures to rise. If global warming persists, many problems will begin to occur in the coming ...

Burning Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy Sources
2,292 wordsGlobal Warming Global warming is the warming near the earths surface that results when the earths atmosphere traps the suns heat. The earth is getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it has been in the past million years. As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may cause forests to die and food crops to fail. Global wa...

Effects Of Global Warming Carbon Dioxide
1,531 wordsGlobal warming is the heating of the earth. This heating occurs because of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when carbon dioxide and other gases (methane and nitrous oxide) trap energy from the sun in our atmosphere. Most of the energy we receive from the sun is absorbed by the surface of the earth. Some of the energy is reflected and would normally exit our atmosphere; however, carbon dioxide absorbs this energy and it remains in our atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide in the atmo...

Earth Surface Stop Global Warming
980 wordsIn the last century, the earth? s surface temperature has increased 0. 45 - 0. 60 degrees celsius. Although some scientists believe global warming is not a problem, many scientists believe that global warming is a serious problem, and can not be ignored. Global warming, as the term implies, is the increasing temperature of earth. A factor that is believed to play a part in this is the greenhouse effect, which is the effect in which greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide allow incoming solar r...
