Effects Of Global Warming Animals And Plants
1,848 wordsGlobal Warming Is A Serious Issue That Should Have Immediate Attention As Vice President Al Gore has said about the threat of global warming, it is "the most serious problem our civilization faces" (2). It has become quite an issue internationally because of the threat of increasing greenhouse gasses. It is these gasses, when released into the air, accumulate and then trap the heat inside our atmosphere. Our climate is greatly affected by this. Therefore, affecting all of the organisms on earth,...

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...

These NEV's will lead to non-industrial neighborhoods. Neighborhoods will keep the industrial world and all of its problems out by making the roads smaller so they handle only NEV traffic. Households will tend to "run" less and instead of ...

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...

The periodicity of hurricanes in the next hundred years is going to increase by 60 - 70 % according to recent studies. Its been noted the formation of hurricanes is closely related to weather conditions around the globe. In 1991 the winters were particularly cold in Alaska and Siberia, yet it was the same year when many furious hurricanes, notab...

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...

Alternative Energy Sources Parts Per Million
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...

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...

Greenhouse Gasses Carbon Dioxide
330 wordsCarbon dioxide has been rising in the atmosphere throughout time. Recently though, the levels of carbon dioxide have been increasing at a more alarming rate. The cause of this is a direct result of man? s burning of fossil fuels. We know that every action we make, as humans, will have some effect on the environment around us and those effects can be either good or bad. The rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may potentially inflict some negative effects on our environment. The term...
