Global Warming is a major problem which our environment faces today terribly. This global warming is caused due to Greenhouse Effect which is a condition in which Earth’s heat trapping increases more from the normal levels. Climate change, devastation of the ecosystem, melting ice over Arctic and Antarctic regions, negative impacts in the agricultural sector are just the problems caused by global warming. Many damages have been caused by this phenomenon. Policies on global warming are made each day

humans are consuming and impacting the natural cycle of nature. From greenhouse gases like CO2 to material waste and contamination, humans have an impact anywhere they live. In this modern age, that’s nearly everywhere. We have all heard of the Global warming debate, being a layman does not help to decipher the rhetoric from the hard facts (known or not). According to the EPA’s “Climate Change Risks and State Adaptation” web-page, climate change is steadily affecting water, energy, ecosystems, agriculture

Global warming, by definition is the increase in the earth's ocean and near surface temperatures. In the last several decades, there have been numerous debates regarding global warming. The vast majority of the scientific community now agrees that global warming is caused by the increase in greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. What is more important, cheap energy or sustaining human life for the next 100+ years? Global warming is no longer fiction; scientific studies have proved that the earth's

Global warming is a threat to mankind and its existence; although we are yet to see or feel the effects. However, understanding the cause, and implementing measures to save the planet are of dire urgency otherwise, the impact will be imminent in the near future. In approximately 1,000 years ahead due to rapid growth in the world’s population, and Man’s ever-growing chemical technologies, the impact of global warming is predictable. Global warming can be defined

View of Global Warming Is global warming really happening? Is it something that we should truly fear, and if so, why? Scientists and other climate experts have been trying to answer these important questions and many others concerning global climate change for decades. Before one can truly delve into the details of global warming, it is important to define the concept. The entire study of climate change is difficult to explain, and is not yet fully understood by scientists. However, global warming

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming simply put is the warming of the Earth including its atmosphere and oceans. Scientists have opposing viewpoints about why this may be happening. Some believe that it occurs naturally and is a part of a normal cycle over time and it is not significantly affected by human activities. Others believe that human activities have profound effects on the warming of the Earth. The global warming hypothesis originated back in 1896 when Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish
