Depletion Of The Ozone Layer
1,370 words... portion of the ozone layer is a major concern today. The ozone layer protects us from the harmful rays of the sun; therefore it is imperative that we preserve it. Since more pollutants are produced today than ever before (because of the major increase in the population), there is a major concern that we create less pollutants to help conserve the ozone layer. In this research paper I will give vital information on how pollution affects the ozone layer and methods instituted to help the ozone...

Poem Is Written State Of Mind
729 wordsThe Preacher: Ruminates Behind the Sermon In Gwendolyn Brooks poem, The Preacher: Ruminates Behind the Sermon, she shows the reader a different side to God. The theme of the poem is that God, as esteemed as He may be, is just as human as we are. This is shown in a few different stanzas where Brooks suggests that God feels human emotions and desires simple human activities. Another important thing that expresses the theme is the style in which the poem is written. One of the most obvious places w...

Social And Political Final Goal
856 wordsAchieving excellence in terms of Aristotle's "Nichomachean Ethics" Before actually focusing on the main details of Aristotle's Argument, we must pay careful attention to the opening remarks he makes in Book I about the nature of his inquiry. The first important point that he stresses is that the study of the character of human beings is dependent on what a human being is. Aristotle states that that a human is not a "man that lives in isolation, but a man that also lives with parents, children, w...

Burning Of Fossil Greenhouse Gases
985 wordsGlobal 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 ...

2,020 wordsIn my seminar work I will try to explain you what is happening to global climate, which are the consequences and what can we do to stop changing our climate. Humans are heating the planet. Official confirmation for that came in 1995, when the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the official scientific body established in 1988 by the UN to investigate climate change - published its Second Assessment Report, written and reviewed by some 2 000 scientists. A consensus now undeniably ex...

Carbon Dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide
705 wordsThe earth s climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse gases primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The heat-trapping property of these gases is undisputed. Although uncertainty exists about exactly how earth s climate responds to these gases, global temperatures are rising. Energy from the sun drives the earth s weather and climate, and heats the earth s surface; in turn, the ea...

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...

1,135 wordsVegetation Canopy LIDAR Mission: Possible Since the beginning of time, human activities that have been altering the Earth and its atmosphere have caused the earth to warm by about one degree Fahrenheit since the late 19 th century. Whether these activities were essential or superfluous, the effects on and surrounding Earth are multitudinous. For example, a warmer Earth could lead to the spread of diseases, melting polar ice caps, receding glaciers, and a change in precipitation patterns (Gay 21)...

Methane Nitrous Oxide Carbon Dioxide Emissions
1,396 wordsGlobal Warming The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a term that is used to refer to an atmospheric process. The greenhouse effect is the inability of long wave radiation to escape the atmosphere causing increased air temperature and increasing impurities in the atmosphere. During the last 20 years the media and public have given the topic priority consideration. There is some evidence that the atmosphere is warming and strong indications that the greenhouse effect is responsible. It is...

Burning Fossil Fuels Natural Greenhouse Effect
3,312 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect, as defined in the dictionary, is the effect produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earths atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. Even though this process occurs naturally and has kept the Earths temperature about 60 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would otherwise be, current life on Earth could not be sustained with...

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...
