Internet National Geographic Researchers(2011) High level of CO2 Global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases. 72% of the totally emitted greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide emissions therefore are the most important cause of global warming. The emissions of CO2 have been dramatically increased within the last 50 years and are still increasing by almost 3% each year I.A.1

Natural greenhouse gasses- water vapor, carbon dioxide

Everyday we breathe pollutants that can cause use a lot of harm, and even death. We are destroying our planet because we over used the resources that we have. The atmospheric issue that I chose is global warming, and the indoor air pollutant is Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Climate change is changing our health, economy, and communities. Climate change is an increase in the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. The air pollutants that contribute to this issue are chlorofluorocarbons, carbon

topollution. According to them such deterioration allows large amounts of ultraviolet B rays to reach Earth, which can cause skin cancer and cataracts in humans and harm animals as well 2 Environmental experts are with the view that global warming will have catastrophic effects such as accelerating sea level rise, droughts, floods, storms and heat waves. These will impact on some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, disrupting food production, and threatening vitally important species, habitats

the 0.5 degrees Celsius rise in the average global earth temperature since the start of the 20th century was due to humans or from natural variability. • In its second 1995 REPORT, the IPCC did not move much from its earlier position of the origin of higher global temperatures. However, it did say that subsequent research since the last report gave a strong indication that, “The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on the global climate.” • In its third 2001 REPORT, the

Cynthia Martinez Professor Holden English 1A 28 April 2014 Climate Change Over the years, there has been scientific evidence that shows the dangerous effects of climate change. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, they define climate change as the change in global climate patterns that are increasingly apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. The evidence of climate

Greene 1 Cause and Effect September 6th 2015 John Bryson Greene Effects of Global Warming Have you noticed that in the past few years the average temperature has changed? The summers are hotter the usual. The winters aren’t as cold as you remember them. Did you realize when storm season comes; instead of your regular thunderstorm you get super storms? All these effects are caused by global warming. Global warming is defined as “An increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures

a debatable topic for very long as it effect a country in various ways such an economically and politically. Global perspectives- 1) Uganda- A project planned, which is now in action, to benefit everyone by reforesting the Mount Elgon national park because of the increase in carbon dioxide. The trees were breathing most of the carbon dioxide which made the travelers feel good and the people of Uganda had a larger park. The carbon gas increases global warming which is not beneficial for anyone. Efforts

There is an issue in society that continues to be a concern and needs to be seriously addressed. The problem is that global warming is increasing at a significant rate. According to NASA’s article entitled “Global Warming”, global warming is the unusual “...rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature,” (2014, para. 1). Our planet, Earth, has had its temperature changed a significant amount of times throughout history. These changes were due to receiving more or less sunlight from the shifts

Global Warming and the Ozone It is my opinion that the phenomena occurring with Global Warming and the Ozone layer are actually two separate events and issues with minute indirect results. Much like if an increase in drivers and an increase in drinkers occurs does that coincidentally mean that an increase in drunk drivers is inevitable? The answer is no, though the two separate events are a part of the same issue they are not entirely related and one cannot be fixed by the other. In 1985
