Environmental Health Perspectives December 2010 Article Review by James M. Phelps Davenport University Abstract To summarize the article, I believe that the author of the article Charles W. Schmidt is indicating that much of the skepticism on global warming and climate change has come from inaccurate data being released by both sides of the argument, that private and corporate funding has persuaded scientist to make conclusions on the side of where their funding is coming from, and that politics

Traffic Problems in Baton Rouge 5:30 traffic in Baton Rouge could easily be defined as the time in which no one wants to get in their car and go anywhere regardless of urgency. Baton Rouge, Louisiana is notoriously known for their inefficient traffic systems. Why is that? With a population rank of 67th in the United States, Baton Rouge’s ranking of 33rd in the nation for worst traffic congestion has definitely impacted the community’s identity (Meaux, Reveille). Money, or lack thereof, plays

compelling look into the future of our planet. I had heard of global warming and thought I knew about it, but this documentary really opened my eyes. If steps are not taken now to try to reverse the effects of global warming, we will be without a home in the very near future. We can all do more to reduce the amount of carbon emissions being release into the atmosphere. It is up to us or there will be no hope for future generations. Global warming is simply an increase in the average temperature of the

Global Warming: Fact of Fiction listed I. Is Scientists to Blame Fossil Fuels for Global Warming II. How the Sun is heating up will affect our planet III. How much Global Warming is Natural Global warming refers to the global average temperature increase that has been observed over the last one hundred years or more. Global warming begins with the greenhouse effect, which is caused by the interaction between Earth's atmosphere and incoming radiation from the sun. Solar radiation passes through

Does Global Warming Exist? Team B BCOM275/ Business Communication and Critical Thinking February 13, 2013 Annie Moats Does Global Warming Exist? Planet Earth has been around for over four billion years. During this time it has gone through multiple weather patterns, to say the least. Ice ages and super storms have plagued the earth since the beginning of time. The issue that faces the world today is global warming. There is no doubt that the weather patterns are changing, but the question

Global Warming, aside from pollution is one of scientists biggest concerns. Global Warming is caused by the Greenhouse effect. There are 4 steps in the Greenhouse effect process. The first is, sunlight radiates from the sun, through space, to the Earth's atmosphere. The second is, sunlight enters the atmosphere and hits the Earth. Some of that sunlight turns into heat energy in the form of infrared light. Surrounding air and land, which in turn makes the heat warm, absorbs the heat. Third, the

Global Warming: Challenging the “Settled” Science In December of 1997, political leaders gathered in Kyoto, Japan to contemplate a world treaty restricting human production of “greenhouse gases,” in particular carbon dioxide (CO2). They worried that CO2 would result in a severe and sudden increase in earth’s temperatures, leading to environmental disasters on a global scale. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the preeminent body for the assessment of climate change

rise again to “procure our future.” We need to take responsibility for the cause of global warming and put some solutions into action to solve this problem. According to Marc Morano, the minority chairman of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, many scientists believe that there is no solution to global warming. Others believe that advancements in producing cleaner cars is the key solution to global warming, but I believe that the most effective solution would be for electric companies to

biggest issues is the problem of global warming, in which the temperature of Earth is rising quickly than ever before, and it is affecting every aspect of life on this planet, from agriculture to animals to humans. It is believed by many, that the advance technology is one of the main reasons why it exists, but the debate never ends on this. Along with that, emission of greenhouse gasses and deforestation are also considered some main reasons for its cause. . Global warming is not just a scientific concern
