...Global Warming The global warming is bringing some good things and some bad things with it. Some people say global warming will help in lot of ways like in agriculture, decrease famine, and etc. and some say it will not be helpful and bring storm, disease, health problem etc. Nowadays global warming is on top of all major issues and people and government are doing their best to find ways to decrease global warming. The legislative branch of U.S. government had also passed lots of bill to help prevent global warming. There are also lots of debates going on in Congress about global warming. Scientist are researching and finding ways to slow the process of global warming. The effects of global warming are beneficial to human health and other species of life on earth. “A warmer earth will result in lush forests, a decrease in climate-related disasters, increased food production, and a healthier human population” (Avery). This will help some poor countries like Africa, India, Mexico and etc., to come out of drought and poor nourishment. Global Warming will also raise the level of carbon dioxide and this will help make forests all over the world healthier and more robust. “The world’s ocean levels have been rising at approximately the same rate- 7 inches per century- for at least a thousand years.” “Data from the warming of 1900 to 1940 show a drop in sea levels and then a sea-level rise during the subsequent cooler period” (Avery). This means that the global warming is not going...

The Earth’s global temperature has change throughout history but never have the Earth’s temperatures have been as high as they are now. After the Industrial revolution, global warming has increasingly becoming a threat. Consequently, global warming is becoming a bigger threat that needs to be addressed before even more serious damage is done. “Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal” -Intergovernmental panel on climate change. One of the many questions that scientists and people alike are asking and trying to prove if global warming does exist or...

...Abstract The topic of this paper is Sea turtles endangered by Global warming. It argues that global warming have a bad effect on the environment and threatens some species in the world. In the specially, sea turtles which is the oldest species in live in the world so we need to find solutions to protect this specie. There are three reasons for this argument. The first is that we need to find solutions to decrease global warming. The second is that we need to decrease the pollution due to human. Finally, protect the sea turtle of human and predators. Sea Turtles threatened with extinction A lot of species are endangered because of global warming and more specifically the Sea turtle, which is the oldest species known in the world (Velaquez-Manoff 2007); it lived during the dinosaurs. Now the change of the climate threatens these species, and if we don’t do something in a hurry, this species will disappear. The increasing temperature (more than 2 degrees these last years) have an impact directly on the turtle’s eggs (Velaquez-Manoff 2007, Brahic 2007). The problem is that more females than males are born; that means the future will be difficult for reproduction. According to WWF (2007), it’s not only the future population which is in peril, because there is also habitat loss and degradation, pollution, disease because of human and marine pollution, and natural predators. As Bhattacharya (2007) said, we need to do something and we can already...

...2010 A Skeptic’s View of Global Warming Is global warming really happening? Is it something that we should truly fear, and if so, why? Scientists and other climate experts have been trying to answer these important questions and many others concerning global climate change for decades. Before one can truly delve into the details of global warming, it is important to define the concept. The entire study of climate change is difficult to explain, and is not yet fully understood by scientists. However, global warming can be simply described as the process of the earth’s atmosphere increasing in temperature due to the presence of greenhouse gases, which include carbon dioxide and are produced through the burning of fossil fuels and various other means. These gasses are actually part of Earth’s natural processes, for they trap heat that allows Earth’s temperature to sustain life. The effects of this process can be seen as a blessing and a curse. Just the right amount of them helps the earth maintain a somewhat constant temperature; too much may cause temperatures to rise to frightening heights. Since 1880, when instruments used to precisely measure atmospheric temperatures were invented, the Earth’s surface temperature has risen about 0.36° F for each decade up to the twenty first century (Voiland). This information presents a clear warning about the matter: that global warming is present and cannot be ignored. Most extremists feel that global warming will lead to dire consequences...

...Helpful Tips to Decrease Global Warming Global warming is impacting the world by increasing the average global temperature and causing many changes that are not visibly noticeable. These changes are costing us our healthy planet and safer world because of the serious effects it has on the climate and our lives. The causes of global warming can be reduced by taking action and altering our life styles in several ways. Taking action to help minimize global warming will have a huge impact on the amount of man-made air pollution that is produced. Global warming is the reason for the warmer climate on Earth. “There are more and more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more heat is trapped which makes the Earth warmer… known as Global warming” (Greenhouse Effect). Our actions on Earth are one of the variables that contribute to global warming and will affect the Earth if continued at the current rate. It has already shown noticeable consequences to our climate, surroundings and weather. “There has been three periods of global warming since 1850; the most recent warming was originally thought to have been caused by emissions by man of carbon dioxide” (Global Warming Science). Between these three periods the Earth cooled leading to the changes in climate “for the past 11,000 years” according to Global Science. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect which is the cycle of light, heat of the Earth’s surface and Earth’s atmosphere. “The greenhouse gases reach the Earth’s...

... January 22, 2013. Global warming is a threat to mankind and its existence; although we are yet to see or feel the effects. However, understanding the cause, and implementing measures to save the planet are of dire urgency otherwise, the impact will be imminent in the near future. In approximately 1,000 years ahead due to rapid growth in the world’s population, and Man’s ever-growing chemical technologies, the impact of global warming is predictable. Global warming can be defined as the gradual increase of the earth’s atmospheric temperature due to the release of carbon dioxide, methane gas, fossil fuels, and other toxic chemical emissions trapped in atmosphere that causes correspondence changes in climate. These changes are rapid in the global atmosphere over a relatively short period of time, and becoming more prevalent in the world presently. There are numerous records that show that our world as a whole is getting incredibly warmer, poor health conditions, strangulated economy, and environmental degradation. Some say the world will end in water due to melting ice, some say it will end in fire as a result of radiation. From my observation and understanding, I hold with those who favor fire. Global warming affects human health, the world economy, our environment, and the planet as a whole. Health is the general...

...activity, or event (Steg, 2013). Different aspects in an individual’s life like ethics, morals, and values might influence perceived environmental risk. Environmental risks are also known to affect individuals’ emotionally which can make unwanted stress happen, in regard to the effects of these risks on nature and humans. One of the most talked about environmental risk is global warming; this happens when the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and the oceans gradually increase. These increases are permanent temperature changes to the oceans and atmosphere, which result from vast amounts of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere from the continual use of fossil fuels. Unfortunately, this possesses a risk to the well being of humans and nature alike. There is no way to reverse the damage that has been done because of global warming, however the effects can decrease. Summary of Articles Two articles address global warming, the environmental risk; however the articles take two different stances on the issue and there are dissimilar views regarding the environmental risk. The first article “Global...

...Global warming is largely attributed to human activities that emit greenhouse gases to the atmosphere rather than the natural causes. The greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are the main causes of global warming since presence in the atmosphere leads to absorption of heat energy from the sun rather than emitting it to the space (Silver 135). The issue of climate change is a global concern since affects all regions and not just the countries where there are huge emission of greenhouse gases. Despite this, the initiatives to control global warming mainly lie with the governments, environmental organizations, and industries whereas there is little input of the individuals. These agencies are characterized with deep information about the consequences of global warming that is linked to strong intervention practices adopted. There are numerous researches conducted on global warming and consequences whose discussions are embraced in government and environmental agencies. Greater success of intervention practices would be achieved through increased involvement of the people. Since the knowledge of global warming impacts is influential to the development of control measures, greater understanding of the impacts of global warming would be instrumental to attain increased involvement of individuals in intervention practices. Global warming causes extreme temperatures, which affect quality of life and could be unbearable to people and other living organisms in highly affected regions...

...DEBUNKING THE GLOBAL WARMING THEORY Name of Author Institutional Affiliation There has been a growing concern over the issue of global warming over the years. A vast number of global warming skeptics, politicians, and groups of scientists such as those that constitute the IPCC believe that climate change is adversely influenced by human activities that constantly raise CO2 levels. However, new studies reveal that there is little evidence to support the popular theory that global warming is directly influenced by man’s activities, and it is this that discredits the baseless global warming theory. First, there are no real scientific proofs that support the global warming theory. Contrary, most of the observations over the past 30 years reveal that human activities are not a contributing factor to the rise in temperatures. In fact, most of these temperature changes are natural. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, cannot be labeled as the main cause of global warming despite their contribution to CO2 levels. The IPCC can be disputed for its scientific consensus report because most of its scientists lack scientific qualifications, and there are scientists in the same panel that object sections of the IPCC report that relates CO2 emissions to the increase in global temperatures. It is also worth noting that some corporations stand to benefit from the global warming scare, and this may be a reason why the theory still exists. Ultimately, it is absurd to blame a single gas for the...

...Global Warming As you already probably know global warming is having a big impact on society. Global warming is causing more killer storms, massive crop failures, widespread extinction, and much more. Firstly, the rate of killer storms has definitely increased in the last couple of years as global warming has progressively gotten worse. The reason we are having more killer storm is because there is trapping emissions in the atmosphere, from burning coal, gas, and oil. We need to burn these fuels because they're part of our daily lives. We use these fuels to have electricity, drive our cars, and fuel businesses. The trapped heat in the atmosphere is causing climate change which causes massive storms. The effects of these killer and dangerous storms is that we have to adapt to the new environment and because of killer storms there is a higher death rate. Secondly, global warming is affecting our coral reef because of the increased temperature and ocean acidification in the water the coral reef post as a threat to our oceans. Many species depend on the coral reef for basic needs such as food sources, habitat or shelter. Without the coral reef many species will die because they don't have a shelter or food supply. Without these species the ecosystem would fall apart. The worst case scenario will be the coral population collapsing by 2100 due to the bleaching of corals. Sadly the coral reef would be “the first global ecosystem to disappear”- Times Online: 21st century Noah’s...

...窗体底端 The global warming speech you will find below discusses a topic close to the hearts of many of us. In fact, it's a topic that is likely to remain current until measures designed to protect the environment are seen to be having a positive impact. Beginning of Global Warming Speech "That so many of us are here today is a recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing. Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history, for if we fail to meet it - boldly, swiftly, and together - we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe." These are the words President Obama used to begin his global warming speech before the United Nations Summit in 2009. Search Google for global warming and you will get almost 65 million pages of results. The subject has certainly drawn a lot of attention. But just what is global warming? What is causing it? What effects does it have on the earth and its inhabitants? What are some possible solutions? These are the questions that I will be addressing in this short, informative speech today. What is Global Warming? Global warming is the gradual increase of the temperature of earth's atmosphere and oceans. Over the past century the average temperatures have gone up by just over one degree. This may not seem like much, but many scientists agree that the earth's temperatures are starting to increase at a faster rate. What Causes It? Global warming occurs...

...Activities must not be considered as a Substantial Cause of Global Climate Change ‘’Our world is always changing, Constantly re-arranging. From ocean depths to mountain peaks, Mother Nature moves and speaks. While telling stories of our past She tries to teach us how to last.’’ Change- the only thing in the universe that is constant. Starting from the journey of childhood, we are witnessing changes, whether it is about our appearances, lifestyle or about living environment. The words of Phinazee also portray the image of change, specifically in Mother Nature. She conveys her love to the greenery, the beauty of ocean, the openness of mountain peaks and valleys. Sadly, these generosities of nature are some footprints of past times. Today, the world is facing major behavioural change in natural environment. The crisis has started to affect even our future generation. It is undoubtedly a threat to our existence. One of the major issues responsible for the crisis is global warming. Global warming is the gradual yet constant increase in the earth’s overall temperature mainly associated to increased level of greenhouse gasses and other pollutants (Oxford Dictionaries, n.d.). The front scene indicates human activities as the main culprit of global warming but the facts behind the front scene should also be considered to get the whole picture. As these facts identify global warming as partially a natural occurrence, change in global climate pattern must not be considered as a result of...

...Global Warming Global warming has been closely linked to significant changes in the climate patterns mostly influenced by the changing levels of precipitation and atmospheric moistures as the effects of high temperatures. The changes affect the patterns of storms, sea levels, and snowfall where colder areas get colder. Global warming has been blamed for its detrimental consequences to the forest, wildlife, glaciers, sea levels, and health of the people (Natural Resources Defense Council, 2008). Currently, the greenhouse gases take huge share of the blame for the rising temperature in the planet believed to push geological events such as volcanic eruptions playing to cool the warming climate yet its emissions can fuel up more warming and atmospheric degradation (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2011). With the threats from global warming, the world is striving to improve air quality. The threats are so huge making it difficult to say that spending to save the planet from perceived danger is not worth the economic cost but revisiting the history can raise a question if global warming can be really prevented from occurring. The scenarios in the past may be different from the modern times yet the planet had been through climatic cycles and global warming which caused drought, flooding and brought to the planet on the Ice Age (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2011). There were no fossil fuel emission in the past yet the planet went through cycles of long wet and dry periods...

...Global Warming Global warming has been an alarming issue for many years and poses a current and future threat to the environment. Several years ago when global warming was initially addressed, the government panicked assuming that humans are the cause. Others believe that the earth’s natural resources are the root of the problem. Scientists still are not sure who’s to blame. It may be a combination of humans and natural resources. Despite the cause, global warming has a direct impact on environmental psychology. Johannessen (2011), published an article in the New York Times addressing Global warming and climate change and what effects it has not only on the environment but also on the people and other organisms that live in such environments. Johannessen thinks that the United Nations should provide resources necessary to adapt to changes in the climate to people who live in underdeveloped or poor nations. The United Nations has funded global talks but conflict still exists (Johannessen, 2011). Well-known controversies surrounding the issue are: conflicting responsibilities of industrialized and developing nations, deciding how to generate money to help poor nations adapt, the stress of protecting tropical forests, and the need to develop and organize clean energy technology (Johannessen, 2011). According to the National Geographic (2012, para 1), global warming is the releasing of heat-trapping gases released when humans power their modern lives. The gases are at its...
