expectations that society has suggested of them? The push to develop green technologies stems from the fact that the earth’s ozone layer is quickly changing due to the recent rapid growth in modern industry. This change is largely due to human activity; industry, transportation, waste, and everyday living. Everyday large amounts of pollutants are released into the atmosphere leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This global warming can cause major issues such as the melting of polar

are: nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). The activity of these gases leas to the Global Warming Effect, as all three of them are able to trap heat in the atmosphere. The danger lies in the Earth’s rising temperature, which makes the glaciers melt. All the energy that turns out to being the atmosphere finds a way out through natural cataclysms such as storms and others. The INEP’s impact in the situation is great as it creates summits where countries give commitments to reduce

What are you doing to help stop Global Warning? Global warming 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, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. In short, it is the biggest cause of earth’s climate change cause great environmental changes. Al Gore’s is very active in helping the country understand the importance of global warming. As written in this article he explains

believe climate change can definitely have a positive impact on everyone. Through scientific evident it is clear that climate change has affected the planet Earth as we know it. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives. The average temperature at the surface of the Earth has been increasing over the past century, mostly due to human activities. Warmer surface temperatures lead to increasing evaporation

All available evidence points to the fact that the Universe is open and it is ceaselessly expanding. Space means the whole universe, including the earth, while outer space refers to space other than the earth; outer space begins where the earth's atmosphere ends and extends in all directions. Like, the air we breathe, space is everywhere and all around us. Most people describe space as the universe and do not distinguish between them. When the Universe was first talked of, as an orderly unit,

has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history.” Global warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, which include carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and/or deforestation. These gases would normally escape Earth, but heat is being trapped. Carbon dioxide being released into the air creates a blanket like effect over the atmosphere. There are many impacts of global warming but some are more prominent than others. Some

neither is willing to back down or come to a resolution. First Supporting Sentence: The scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming, and it is extremely likely (at least 95% probability) that humans are causing most of it through activities that increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels. Second Supporting Sentence: Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming
