Global warming blog by Henry Auer Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming experienced since the industrial revolution. Greenhouse gases arise from human use of fossil fuels for power and energy. Major emitters of greenhouse gases include both industrialized countries and, in recent decades, developing countries as well. Higher global temperatures cause the extremes of hot and cold, and wet and dry, weather of recent years. This blog examines global warming

Global Warming Effects on Earth Global warming has become one of the biggest effects on earth’s life for many years now. Every day there are more and more reason’s causing this huge effect on life. Global warming can become a huge danger in the future with the drastic increase it has been becoming over the years. Global warming is caused by reasons like the sun, and the greenhouses effect. Global warming is causes many problems. Wild life is being affected, sea levels are rising, glaciers

would play a key in our efforts to also aid in reversing our global warming trend by reducing green house gases. If funding is increased for research and development it would eventually open new sectors in manufacturing, sales and service and the creation of thousands of green jobs. These get the US energy healthy and have a positive impact on the U.S economy. In short, alternative/renewable energy could have a major impact on global

------------------------------------------------- Mexico glacier melting quickly due to global warming Mexico, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Glaciers that crown a Mexican volcano could disappear by 2015 with scientists pointing to global warming as a chief cause of their demise. Until recently, the glacial field on Iztaccihuatl, a dormant volcano and one of two white-capped peaks that can be seen from Mexico City, was expected to be gone within a few decades. Like in 2007 scientists said that the glacier

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

Can Grass Be Stronger than A Tree? Abstract: As population increases and global warming changes the environment, the strains on our atmosphere and land become obvious. Our forests and jungles are the largest consumer of CO2 we have and are in dangerous decline. Deforestation and jungle destruction not only reduces biodiversity and wildlife refuges, but also contributes to global warming. In order to preserve our forests, we need to find new ways to reduce our dependency on wood. Since bamboo

this wonderful state of Indiana. Therefore I believe that it is you that can help make a change in the senate. You would be speaking for everyone around the world who will be affected by global climate change. I do not pretend to be an environmentalist but I do know that global warming is real. The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years. In recent years there have been

as Hurricane Katrina. These are the four main ways that climate change will affect us based on the article. Furthering this analysis, I am now going to relate the issue of climate change with human ecology, environmental justice, globalization, and global stratification. Human Ecology is the study of the relationship between humans and their natural, social, and built environments. In regards to climate change, a human and their environment can be negatively affected. As we well know, disasters
