Part 2 This research and overview provides awareness of global warming and how our planet’s atmosphere is overloaded with heat trapping carbon dioxide (CO2), which threatens wide-ranging disorder in climate with devastating consequences. Global warming is an environmental issue that affects human health, ecosystem, etc. and this study is summed up into basic responses and opposing viewpoints. I. What are the causes of global warming? • CO2 emissions and increased concentration of greenhouse

costs are the effects fossil fuels have on our environment and on human health. Air pollution caused by the burning of coal and oil as well as dust in mines is causing problems for human health. The environment is suffering from acid rain, global warming and water and air pollution. Many times, the costs go unpaid for and unnoticed. It is imperative that we as a society take responsibility and strive to reduce the negative effects of fossil fuels on our environment. The global warming is a major

around the globe and there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed in the last 50 years is due to human activities. While climate change is a global issue, it will affect us all. Climate change has the potential to adversely affect our environment, our communities and our economy unless we take action now to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts. Climate change will alter global and local climates. In Victoria, this means a warmer and drier future

Climate Change vs. Economy Climate change has been a major topic of conversation and controversy around the world for many years before it was finally recognized as a global issue that must be dealt with immediately. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) climate change occurs due to the large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that throw off the balance of Earth’s natural carbon cycle. The human activity of combusting fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) for electricity

Sea Ice Explain the trends and why they occur The overall concept of global warming has rapidly influenced the world’s awareness of how our uses of fossil fuels are destroying the natural world. From 1979 to 2000, the sea ice conditions were generally stable. Since then, year by year there has slowly been a decline in Arctic sea ice, most obviously seen from 2008 to present. Year after year scientists are seeing a lower starting measurement of sea ice coverage, though the pattern remains relatively

generations are able to survive and thrive. By understanding the nature of the global warming and creating effective economic policies we are able to become a step closer to making all the difference. The Global Warming Problem Global warming refers to the dramatic rise in the earth’s temperature due to the excess emission greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane. This phenomenon of global warming has major implications for humanity and nature. With rising sea levels, hotter

Eating healthy to curb Global warming DeVry University Eating healthy to curb Global warming Global warming is a phenomenon which is affecting our life (lives?) in more ways than one. Over the past few years, its effects have become more noticeable. Climatic changes have caused some major natural disasters in the past few years and humans have played a pivotal role in the accelerating the warming of the planet. Many animal species have become extinct in the past century due to climate change
