In recent years, global warming is a topic that has received much attention. It’s is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants, which also known as the green house effect. Global warming can negatively affect the earth's delicate ecosystems. It has been linked to dangerous new weather patterns, the extinction of plant and animal species and so many others bad effects. Global warming is caused by pollution eating away at the ozone layer of the atmosphere, as well as greenhouse gases trapping heat. The global average surface temperature rose 0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.1 to 1.6° F) between 1906 and 2005, and the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. (Riebeek 2) Many scientists believe that the effects of global warming will greatly impact the planet. Direct effect of Global Warming is increased heat on Earth then it will cause ice on poles to melt, leading to rising sea levels and land loss, because many areas will be under water. Besides that, many events of catastrophic weather will occur, such as droughts, floods, volcanic, tsunamis and earthquake. Although some areas of Earth will become wetter and flood due to global warming, other areas will suffer serious droughts and heat waves. Obviously, Africa will receive the worst of it, with more severe droughts also expected in Europe. After all, these effects spell one thing for the countries of the world: economic consequences. The chaos of weather patterns brought hurricanes, tsunamis, or earthquakes that cause billions of dollars in damage, diseases cost money to treat and control and conflicts exacerbate a... ... middle of paper ... ...bulbs for more efficient replacements, such as compact fluorescents would save billions of kilowatt-hours”, said David Biello (Biello 3). Beside, there are a lot more solutions to decrease the rate of global warming. In my own opinion, I think that the government should bring the lesson about the solutions of global warming into education, so that people or the next generations would have a good knowledge about it. In conclusion, we can now see that the more production humans need and want, the more harm we do to ourselves. It not only affects us but the animals also have to suffer the consequences. Moreover, if we ignore the fact now the result could be catastrophic and the future generations will have to pay for this. For the good of ourselves and the good of our next generations, we should do whatever we can now to help it. We can’t stop it but we can reduce it.
Rather than worry too much about emissions, we should accept the world is going to get warmer anyway and adapt to global warming by building better flood defenses and developing drought resistant crops.
We can see global Warming as a hazard, because of this hazard, sea level begins to rise, because of this hazard, ice caps are melting, because of this hazard, we could be experiencing extreme storms, and weather, and because of this hazard, temperature are rising abnormally. With Global Warming present, we can be having tremendous happen to us, as well as the Earth, so we must protect the Earth, so humanity can live for a longer time on Earth.
Global warming is an increasing threat to the Earth and future generations. Global warming, sometimes called climate change, is the name given to the process of heat getting trapped in the atmosphere and damaging the environment. Greenhouse gases cause heat to gets stuck in the atmosphere by trapping the sun’s rays. When the sun’s rays enter the Earth, they should bounce back into the atmosphere. Instead the gases trap them, causing the temperature to rise. In the past the temperature of the Earth has risen slowly and evenly but recently the temperature has risen faster. The temperature of the Earth has risen at least one degree Fahrenheit during the twentieth century. If global warming is not controlled there are serious consequences. People, animals, and plants could be living in an atmosphere that is not suitable for sustaining healthy lives.
Global warming and global climate change is the study of future increases of temperature across the globe. Studying climate change refers to how the over- all climate will change such as the dry places getting dryer and the wet places getting wetter. Global climate is dependent on “the greenhouse effect a natural process that helps regulate temperature” (Easterling and Karl). In the past few centuries humans have had a monumental effect on increasing of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Climate change is result of the increase amount of the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere such as methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and ozone. “Global temperature has rose approximately 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over
Global warming which is also known as climate change is the term used to illustrate a continuing expansion in the standard temperature of the earth’s surface air and seas since about 1950. (White, 2013) The climate change affects a permanent increase in the average temperature of the minor atmosphere. Although there are still several continuing argument on various groups, the scientist has managed to verify that the planet is in the condition of getting warmer in every year, it is now becoming the uttermost trouble to our planet. There could be loads of different factors that lead to Global warming, but it is mostly related to human interference, especially the release of continuous levels of greenhouse gases.
There are some measures for individuals and governments to take for reducing the effects of global warming.
It’s quite alarming how global warming affects the world. Imagine the world’s coolest places, the Arctic and Antarctica with its ice melting and pouring significant amount of water to the sea. The sea levels are rising fast, weather conditions change rapidly and sometimes getting more unpredictable.
Global Warming is a very controversial set words known worldwide. Global Warming is “the recent increase in the world's temperature that is believed to be caused by the increase of certain gases (such as carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere. (Merriam-Webster).” We have all heard the term Climate Change and/or Global Warming, but is it actually happening or is it a hoax?
Global warming is also called as climate change, when temperature rise more than usual. Earth is getting hotter, temperature in arctic is decreasing and many animals` habitats are disappearing. The results from the effects of global warming is called greenhouse effect. CO2, Methane, Water vapor, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the examples of green house gases. The greenhouse gases is to allow heat to enter the enclosure easily but it doesn`t let the radiation to go back to atmosphere. The ray that enters the atmosphere`s wavelength is short and when it enters, the greenhouse gases take heat from these rays and it increases the temperature. Also the heat will be unable to go out the atmosphere because infrared rays have longer wavelength. Power plant is the major reason of carbon dioxide emission. The plants work by burning fossil fuels and it produces large amount of Carbon Dioxide. Also, Vehicles is one of the causes of global warming. In addition, deforestation is also a cause of global warming. Trees can take in CO2 from atmosphere and it releases oxygen. Moreover, Increase in Sea level is also a reason. Earth is warming so ice is melting and it increases the water levels. However the ice caps are made of freshwater and if it mixes with ocean the eco system be imbalance. Also when ice caps will make sea to expose to the sun and this will make earth hot (Global Warming and Carbon
Many climate scientists, researchers, and environmentalists are expressing concerns about shifts in the overall climate of the earth. It is believed that a dramatically dangerous warming is taking place in the overall global climate, a problem that is referred to as "global warming”. Global warming is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system. This temperature rise is due to the damaging effects of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels. It is our responsibility to preserve our planet and our way of living but in order to do that we need to act now. If we continue to destroy the planet with no regard as to how serious this matter is there could be several negative effects to us as human being and other living thing on Earth. This is why global warming is truly a global issue and needs to be tackled collectively. We must to act now in order to reduce the dangerous levels of carbon dioxide emissions and we must to work together.
Global warming is an ever growing problem faced by our society today. It seems too often that people think that global warming is only a myth, but I’m here to say it’s not. Global warming is a serious problem with serious effects on the world as a whole. Global warming is caused by air pollution; this type of pollution causes the release of greenhouse gasses. The way greenhouse gasses effects the environment is they turn the shorter radiation that is easily absorbed into the ozone layer into longer radiation. This change to longer radiation makes it harder to absorb causing the heat to get trapped between the ozone and the earth. Although, there’re some positive effects of global warming there’re far more negative effects of global warming on the world.
The term greenhouse effect is used to describe the increased warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere due to increased levels of carbon dioxide and other atmospheric gases that absorb radiated energy in the atmosphere and then reradiate it back to the surface. But if it were not for the greenhouse effect, temperatures at the Earth's surface today would be much colder then they are now, and life as we know it could not exist. Scientists are now concerned that the greenhouse gases are being increased by human actions to levels that could be very harmful to life on Earth. Almost all specialists agree that without drastic steps to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the average global temperature will increase 1 to 3.5 degrees Celsius during the next century because effective levels of carbon dioxide are expected to double sometime between 2050 and 2100. Many of the greenhouse gases remain in the atmosphere for a long time, and because this happens their tendency to warm the Earth persi...
While global warming may have current impacts on the world, it also can have future impacts. Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 to 23 inches by the end of this century and the continuation of melting at the poles can add about 4 to 8 inches more. If the global temperatures increases, hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger. Other weather catastrophes like floods and droughts will be more common. The availability of fresh water in the world will be decreased due to fresh water resources melting. Some animal species will move from...
Global warming is an important ecological issue and has many negative effects upon our environment. Global warming, or what other calls it, the Greenhouse effect, is the result of a natural process. This ecological process keeps our planet warm enough to provide life, but because of the increase of temperature, caused by the high accumulation of gasses, our recent way of life and environment could be in danger. Over the years the Earth’s temperature has been increasing as a consequence of industry, fossil fuels, and agricultural processes produced by gas emotions, human and natural actions. It has been definitely proved that the planet has been threatened by global warming over the past years. The threat of global warming is real; it has
Global warming is the increase of earth’s average surface temperature. Over the last century, the average global surface temperature has increased by more than one degrees Fahrenheit, while the twelve warmest years ever recorded have all taken place after 1998 as seen on the graph below ("Global Warming: Confronting the Realities of Climate Change"). There is a clear indication that earths surface temperature is rising. There are many consequences of global warming. The ice caps are melting, this is ruining habitats and endangering many animals that rely on the ice caps as well as causing a massive rise in the sea-level. Over the past hundred years, sea-levels have risen by 4-8 inches. This could potentially harm coastal regions such as the Netherlands or the Gulf of Mexico. Another consequence of global warming is the forming of deadly weather patterns. Warmer oceans pump more energy into storms which could make them stronger and more deadly. While risks of droughts are also increasing due to greater evaporation, which could lead to many wildfires (“Consequences of Global Warming”). Therefore it is important to keep global warming at a minimum in order to make the world a safer place.
