Every thing present in this universe is a part of
environment including ourselves. Whether they are
animals, living thing, or nonliving things. All of
the external factors affecting an organism. These
factors may be other living organisms (biotic
factors) or nonliving variables (abiotic factors),
such as water, soil, climate, light, and oxygen.
All interacting biotic and abiotic factors
together make up an ecosystem. Organisms and their
environment constantly interact, and both are
changed by th...

... to be correct." I think this is very foolish
considering that the earth will naturally warm up
again, and when it does that it will warm up a
little more than it was before. 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...

of global warming? The numbers are striking. No
region of the world will be unaffected if Global
Warming continues to increasingly grow. Yet day

earth and its climate in significant ways. Many
people just stand motionless as the wave of
climate change becomes more apparent. The IPCC

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Ions

Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms
that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light
energy into chemical energy which can be stored in
the molecular bonds of organic molecules.
Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains
and food webs on the Earth. The net process of
photosynthesis is described by the following
equation: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy = C 6 H
12 O 6 + 6 O 2 This equation simply means that
carbon dioxide from the air and water combine in
the presence of sunli...

The Enhanced Green House Effect

The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect For the past ten
thousand years the earth's climate has been
extremely good and beneficial to mankind. Today
however, major changes are taking place. Humans
beings are changing the face of the entire planet
by destroying the rain forests and pumping our
pollutants into the air and water. Some of these
gases are very toxic and they are destroying our
ozone layers which allows life to exist on earth
These things are changing the make-up of the
earth's biosphere and i...

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 ...

... weather is hot and more humid than usual.
Hotter temperatures and more rain in different
areas will cause more heat and humid weather. This
will allow mosquitoes to find new places to love

are being reported for the first time at high
elevations in Asia, Central Africa, and Latin
America. An increase in winter temperatures, which
tend to limit the distribution of insect
populations, may be increasing mosquito survival

Global 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...

Average Global Temperature Amount Of Carbon Dioxide
861 words
Weather changes all the time. The average pattern
of weather, called climate, usually stays pretty
much the same for centuries if it is left to
itself. However, the earth is not being left
alone. People are taking actions that can change
the earth and its climate in significant ways.
Carbon dioxide is the main culprit. The single
human activity that is most likely to have a large
impact on the climate is the burning of fossil
fuels such as coal, oil and gas. These fuels
contain carbon. Burning t...

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...

Methane Nitrous Oxide Rise In Sea

The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is an
increase in the atmospheric temperature caused by
increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. These
gases act as a heat blanket insulating the Earths
surface absorbing and trapping heat radiation
which normally escapes from the earth. They
include carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane,
nitrous oxide, CFCs, and other halo-carbons. The
earths atmosphere goes through two processes
constantly. Global cooling is the first process.
This process uses the cl...

environmental scientists have become increasingly
confident that the average global temperature has

highly controversial theory, the facts have
compelled scientists, politicians and the
environmentally conscious to take a closer look at
the statistics. Periodic global warming

Smog Historically, the term smog referred to a
mixture of smoke and fog, hence the name smog. The
industrial revolution has been the central cause
for the increase in pollutants in the atmosphere
over the last three centuries. Before 1950, the
majority of this pollution was created from the
burning of coal for energy generation, space
heating, cooking, and transportation. Under the
