Global Warming. Is it caused by us? “…Climate change is now with us. It will not go away.”(Musil, 17) Many of us have noticed that our Earth is getting warmer. We seem to ignore what is going on and just continue with our everyday life. There is evidence that our climate has been getting warmer ever year. Some scientist believe it is because of green house gases. Green house gases include the carbon dioxide from gases that our industry produces, methane gases that cows put off, and some believe

GLOBAL WARMING: NATURAL OR MAN-MADE There is no question that there is an increase in Earth’s temperature and we are experiencing what is referred to as global warming. The Earth has experienced this many times in history on a much larger scale, but, humans did not exist (and would not have been able to exist) at the time. The questions now are whether human actions are accelerating the process of global warming and possibly decreasing Earth’s future sustainability; and, if so, what, if anything

Global warming is one of the biggest social topics of our time. In addition, it is one of the most hotly contested. Nearly everyone believes in the greenhouse effect, which basically means that the sun's warmth is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by the Earth's natural gasses such as: methane, ozone, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and chlorofluorocarbons. Without the greenhouse effect, we would not be able to live on Earth because it would be too cold. The concept of global warming

endless debate going on about global warming. Some people say that global warming is a threat to us socially, economically, politically, and immediate actions should be taken to minimize it. Whereas, other people say that global warming is beneficial and is a natural process that is required for the sustainability of life on earth. Hence, in my opinion, global warming is a potential threat that causes harm not only to humans, but also to the planet as a whole. Global warming can be defined as the increase

Global Warming Real or Fake? Global warming is the slow increase of the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere. It is caused by the greenhouse effect which is caused by the increasing levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. Another thing that is causing global warming is methane from agriculture and animals. Also the increase of chemical fertilizers contributes to global warming. Chemical fertilizers are nitrogen rich. Nitrogen oxides have 300 more times the heat trapping capacity

Global Warming: True or False? Global warming, most of us have a general idea of what it is but I’m going explain it in a little more detail. In a nutshell, it’s the steady rising of Earth’s temperature. What’s causing this is greenhouse gases plus the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is what happens when certain gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapour trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, causing the Earth to warm. The amount of greenhouse

tracks atmospheric global temperature climate trends. As environmental engineer, D Kelly O’Day, writes on ProcessingTrends.com explains: “To facilitate assessments of long term trends, climatologists compare the mean for a base period with the annual mean. Differences between the annual mean and baseline mean are called anomalies. GISS uses the 1951 - 1980 period for their baseline period. They use the difference between the annual mean and the baseline mean to determine the global temperature anomaly
