Mankind’s Helping Hand in Global Warming SGT Smith, Charlie Raymond Post University There is strong evidence of mankind's helping hand in global warming. The impact of mankind on the environment will prevent us from having a normal future. Over the past decade the world has suffered from extreme weather events caused by global warming. The Earth's average temperature raised an average of 1 degree Fahrenheit over the past 50 years (Which of These is Not Causing Global Warming Today – written

oversimplification of global warming. Global warming is mostly understood in lay terms as the warming of the earth due to the overproduction of greenhouse gasses. In reality, climate change is, “a measure of changes in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over periods of decades or longer, regardless of cause.” There are three main views pertaining to climate change; global warming, solar irradiance, and natural cycles of the atmosphere. Global warming is the viewpoint

carbon dioxide in the atmosphere change depending on the time of year. Carbon dioxide goes up in the fall and winter months and down in the summer and spring months. Now due to pollution the amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are unstable. Global warming is cause by carbon dioxide being trap in the atmosphere by green house gases which in turn increases the temperature. Everyday the amount of carbon dioxide is rising. Experimental polls of the earth say that the amount of carbon dioxide on

Jessica Billings PHY-102 August 14, 2011 Lillian Flakes Global Warming Global Warming is an event that will not only affect people but animals all over the Earth. Humans will not be able to handle the temperature increase so therefore they will be affected the most. Many people believe that global warming started back in the industrial revolution which was in the 18th century. During this time heat trapping gases began to load in the atmosphere. Some gases such as carbon dioxide and methane

Global Worming Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. The global average air temperature near the Earth's surface raised 0.74 ± 0.18°C during the last 100 years. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans. Increasing global temperatures will cause sea level to rise, and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events and to

Global warming is a serious issue that affects the whole world whether the world chooses to realize it or not. It affects People of all ages as well as people of different ethnicities and backgrounds. There are also many organizations that are trying to increase awareness of this issue. Some of the organizations are Greenpeace International, The Virginia Tech Environmental Student organization, and The Sierra Club. Scientists have made numerous studies on this increasing issue. There is significant

The temperature has increased since the middle of the 20th century as a result of increasing concentrations of greenhouse due to human activity. As a consequence of the global warming many ecosystem are affected, has created climate variation, and many health diseases in the population. First of all, global warming has affected many ecosystems .The marine ecosystem is dying, many fishes and mammals that live in the ocean is disappearing due to the high temperature. The arctic

Environmental Effects of Global Warming The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse
