problems facing the world today is global warming, as many scientists believe that our production of carbon dioxide along with other greenhouse gases are having a heating effect on the atmosphere. This essay will examine the problems of global warming and the dangerous affects that it has for human life along with explaining or possible future. In the documentary Earth 2100, you follow along with Lucy an animated character who describes her life during the global warming timeline that scientists believe

industrialization and the burning of fossil fuels taking place. There are many negative effects on the earth because of the rapid melting of ice glaciers but the most prominent ones are global warming, shortage in fresh water and the rise in sea level. The human population has taken action to try and reduce the severity of these effects, and have been successful in doing so, but they are still very present. Global warming is a concern that is well-known by the majority of our population and a mutual effort

of climate which is attributed/influenced directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate changeability observed over comparable time periods. In the latter sense it may be qualified as anthropogenic change of climate, more generally known as "global warming" or "Anthropogenic Global Warming" (AGW). 2. Presently this rapid climate change has become the major catastrophe and the greatest threat of the 21st century

The climate is changing, the globe is warming, both these terms express an action is taking place. Why are these actions taking place? Are these actions caused by man or nature? Is the correct terminology being used when describing this phenomena? These are just a few questions that will be explored in this report. The term global warming is an attention to temperature increases in the earth’s surface atmosphere. Climate change refers to the long term effects of transformations in the earth’s atmospheric

or read an article about Global warming? A person would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t. The news is hard to ignore since the information that is given to us comes from scientists or experts in the field of global warming. We are continually bombarded with information that the Earth is experiencing a warming trend, and human activity is to blame. The pollution that man creates is adding to the earth’s greenhouse gases. The resulting affect of global warming is triggering warmer temperatures

Global Warming - Marine and Antartic Science Planet Earth or Planet Ocean? 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. There’s been life in the oceans for about 3.45 billion years longer than there has been on the land. The oceans determine, to a vast degree the patterns of global and regional climate. The Oceans are the driving force of our weather and climate. Climate is what we expect. Weather is what we get. Climate change is affecting the temperature of the oceans. The composition of

currently facing is global warming. Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s surface temperature, mainly due to the effects of certain greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from either deforestation or monoxides found in pollution. These gases would trap the heat that would supposedly escape from the surface of the Earth, which would effectively increase the Earth’s surface temperature. From the name itself, we can already know the main effect of global warming to the Earth.

Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation Tyler Turner Strayer Introduction to Physical Science SCI 110 Prof. Amanda Slaughter June 5, 2016 Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation In this paper I will be discussing different causes and effects of global warming. First we will look at comparing and contrasting natural versus anthropogenic climate changes and include examples of each type. We will then discuss which position I will take in wither global warming exists or not. After that we will I
