But what I think Dr. Landscheidt is are saying is that it does not need to be dealt with so fast because the planet will cool down more. So we can do it slower and spend less money on it. But we do not know if the greenhouse effect will overpower the natural effects. Unfortunately, this scenario of normal raise in temper...

Billion Years Ago Million Years Ago
687 wordsThe Principle Events in the Evolution of the Earth's Atmosphere The literal translation of the word atmosphere is "sphere of vapors." The Earth's atmosphere is a protective sphere of vapors, or air that surrounds the Earth and provides it with a layer of insulation from the harmful rays of the sun. It is a vital part of the Earth, and has changed dramatically since the beginning of time. The earth's atmosphere has gradually changed since the Earth's birth approximately 4. 6 million years ago. In...

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 ...

Cosmic Radiation Global Cooling Global Warming Salinity The hypothesis that salinity decrease caused the mass extinction of oceanic life was first formed by Beurlen in 1956 (Maxwell, 1989). Evidence for this phenomena was based mainly on stenohaline groups such as the bryozoans, ostracods and corals which were...

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...

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...

Since then, the earth has undergone many evolutionary changes. Earth began as a swirling gas which condensed to create an immense land mass. The ancient earth was basically the same as todays earth except for the environment. The atmosphere of the ancient earth was quite different, containing more carbon and nitrogen gases than oxygen. The former atmosphere is w...

Carbon Dioxide Tropical Forests
427 wordsDeforestation is the Deforestation DEFORESTATION Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests and woodlands. The population requires food production; deforestation occurs as the forests are converted for agricultural uses. Deforestation has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to four-fifths of their pre-agricultural area. Indigenous forests now cover 21 % of the earth s land surface. In the last three decades one fifth of all tropical forests were lost. Currently at the rate...

University Of Maryland Greenhouse Gases
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)...

During the course of the twentieth century, many environmental scientists have become increasingly confident that the average global temperature has elevated. Although global warming is still a highly controversial theory, the facts have compelled scientists, politicians and the environmentally conscious to take a closer look at the statistics. Periodic global warming conferences take place around the world to discuss various environmental topics. Globa...

Work Stand Point Carbon To Iron Steel
617 wordsInformative Speech Metals Purpose: My purpose is to inform the audience of how different types of steel are formed by explaining the different mechanical properties of Iron and Carbon compositions. I. Introduction A. Have you ever noticed that some steel, such as a long bridge is able to bend and have slack, whereas other types of steel are more brittle yet much harder, such as a propeller. If a bridge were more brittle, a strong perpendicular wind could easily break it in half, and a soft prope...

A lot of evidence is present that indicates that the earth has had a very long history and that all living things arose in the course of that history from earlier, more simpler forms. In other words, all species have descended from other species and all living things share common ancestors in the past. Basically, organisms are what they are because of their history.

Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer
1,519 wordsIn environmental science the green house effect is a common term for the role water vapor; carbon dioxide and ozone play in keeping the earths surface warmer than it would normally be. The atmosphere is primarily transparent to infrared radiation from the sun, which is mostly absorbed by the earths surface. The earth being much cooler than the sun, remits radiation most strongly at infrared wavelengths. Water vapor, carbon dioxide and ozone then absorb much of this radiation and remit a large pr...
