anomalies. Although the Earth cycles naturally on its own, it is evident that excessive emission production is enhancing the greenhouse effect, and therefore causing natural climatic shifts to happen at a faster rate. People are discernibly prone to assume that since Earth’s climate cycles naturally, that Global warming is autonomous of anthropogenic impact. Global warming is not the root of climate change, but instead the medium between anthropogenic intoxication of the atmosphere, and the response of

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

Global Warming - Marine and Antartic Science Planet Earth or Planet Ocean? 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. There’s been life in the oceans for about 3.45 billion years longer than there has been on the land. The oceans determine, to a vast degree the patterns of global and regional climate. The Oceans are the driving force of our weather and climate. Climate is what we expect. Weather is what we get. Climate change is affecting the temperature of the oceans. The composition of

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
