barely even known what these were up until a few weeks ago. I learned how they repeated themselves and how we affect the environment we live in. I learned about global climate change. How we are adding an extreme amount of CO2 in the air with our combustion and burning of trees. The affects of global climate change, not global warming.

because we are burning fuels so quickly that plants and trees that are alive now cannot soak carbons up. Because of the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the overall temperature of the planet is increasing, producing a “global worming” effect. Therefore, the average global temperature is increasing everyday and changing the environment in unstable ways, from hurricanes and tornados to heat waves and droughts. To try and reduce the risk of increasing extreme weather, the burning of fossil fuel

economy growth more energy is needed like fuel for example which has a devastating impact on the environment because it emits Co2, trees are bulldozed down and replaced with factories which even produces more pollution. In time this would lead to global warming and possible irreversible damage to our environment. Countries around the world and especially the developed countries should come up with new rules and regulations to reduce the environmental risks due to globalization. In conclusion, globalization

international agreement which is mainly linked to ‘the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’ and thus it has set international State Parties to reduce green house emissions, based on premise that man-made carbon dioxide and global warming have caused it.It is thus a climate control protocol that controls the world’s economy and the power of the United Nations by ensuring that all the industrialized nations have submitted to restrictions on the production of carbon dioxide.`In essence

The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming: Definition, Causes, and potential effects to humans, Plants, animal communities and natural resources. Discuss with illustrations. INTRODUCTION There's a delicate balancing act occurring every day all across the Earth, involving radiation the planet receives from space and the radiation that's reflected back out to space. Enormous amounts of radiation, primarily from the sun strikes the Earth's atmosphere in the form of visible light, ultraviolet, infrared

in recent years, people release into the atmosphere toxic gas such as CO2, NOX, CH4 and CFC causing the greenhouse effect. If people do not take effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission, global temperature will raise from 1.8 to 6.4 °C in 2100. Besides, according to WHO, the global warming will be likely to cause more than 150,000 deaths and 5 million people are infected with various diseases. The above figures could increase twice in 2030. For this reason, protecting the air is an urgent
