Problem Of Global Warming Amounts Of Carbon
456 words
The problem of global warming, an increase in the
average temperature on Earth, is getting worse.
The Earth has warmed 0. 3 to 0. 6 degrees Celsius
since the late 1800 s. Scientists believe that the
cause is the greenhouse effect, the process of
trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere because of
the presence of large amounts of carbon dioxide,
chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrogen oxides.
Less oxygen is being produced and cleaning the
atmosphere allowing more of these gases to do its
work o...

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide
722 words
Global Warming is sometimes referred to as the
greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the
absorption of energy radiated from the Earth's
surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the
atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to become
warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing
the temperature on the Earth to rise, and creating
many problems that have started and will continue
to occur in the coming decades. Life could not
exist if there was no natural greenhouse effect.
The reason for the...

Burning Of Fossil Greenhouse Gases

Global warming is a steady increase in earths
average temperature which appears to be
acknowledged by many scientists and people at the
present as reality. Increasing human activities
are changing the Earth's temperature which
includes natural influences that have been there
over the past. By and large, this warming takes
place due to the use of green-house gases emitted
in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Some skeptics
believe and some studies seem to point out that
human production of greenhouse ...

Global Warming Im Glad

I remember the first time I ever saw and heard
about global warming. I was probably in the first
or second grade at the time. I was watching the TV
and a commercial came on, it was a cartoon with
two kids and an adult. They were in the park
enjoying the day, when the guy started talking
about global warming. The kids didnt know what he
was talking about so he fast forwards time and
shows them what the earth is going to be like when
they are his age. The future earth is barren and
desert like. Th...

Imagine that all the coastal areas in the world
were completely submerged in water and the
national parks and rangelands of the world were
nothing but barren disasters. This scenario will
become a reality if global warming continues to
occur. Ecosystems will be severely damaged due to
the change in weather it causes. Studies show that
the change in weather can also spread contagious
diseases that are carried by mosquitoes and other
virus carrying animal that dwell in warm areas.
The cause of thi...

People are inflicting major damage to the Earths
environment, and if we dont do anything to stop
the destruction soon, the results could be
devastating. Most people know about global warming
and think it may be a serious problem in the
future. What most people dont understand is that
global warming is happening now, and we are
already feeling some of its destructive power.
Because of the dangerous effects of global
warming, alternative energy sources need to be
aggressively pursued. Finding and ...

Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuels

In talking about global warming, we need to learn
what causes the greenhouse effect. Rays from the
sun are taken up and absorbed by water vapor that
is natural in the atmosphere. The United States
emits the largest manmade greenhouse gases in the
world. As Americans we must realize the
responsibility to reduce the emissions. (Gore,
Albert) Water Vapor is eighty percent of
greenhouse warming. The last twenty percent
results from other gases that are in very little
amounts. A huge absorber of the ...

Effects of Global Warming On Polar Bears and Polar
Seals Introduction Polar bears depend on polar
seals as a source of food in the polar region.
Polar bears hunt polar seals before winter comes,
so they can get all the proteins and fats they
need in order to survive. Global warming is
increasing the melt of ice in the Arctic region.
As a result, polar seals will not be able to
survive and face the environmental changes
including climate. Therefore, polar bears will be
threatened by starvation an...

Bush Wont Regulate Carbon Dioxide Updated 7: 30 PM
ET March 13, 2001 By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated
Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Backing off a
campaign pledge, President Bush told Congress
Tuesday he will not regulate carbon dioxide
emissions from power plants. The decision,
outlined in a letter sent to a Republican senator,
came after furious lobbying from the coal
industry. It was a blow to conservationists who
see curbing emissions of such greenhouse gases as
key to reducing global warming. The...

Reptiles Enjoyed Warm Arctic (Global Warming) An
article written by ABC News writer Kenneth Chang
discusses the change in climate of the arctic from
ninety million years ago. Seven hundred miles from
the North Pole, lies an island called Axel
Heiberg, a barren land that scientists have dug up
fossil bones of a cold-blooded reptile known as a
champsosaur. How does this happen in an arctic,
freezing land? How does a reptile that needs the
warmth of the sun to survive, live in a frigid
climate? Wel...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Science And Technology
1,145 words
Every year, Earth s surface receives 1. 73 x 10 17
W of energy from the sun. This is about 15, 000
times as much the human population uses annually
(Merritt's 267). Global warming occurs when the
levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared
light, or heat, escapes the earths atmosphere.
Thus, the temperature experienced on Earth begins
to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earths
history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in
overall average temperature for the past 150, 000
years th...
