Josh Steichen M. Bermas harmful effects of chemical changes are: -acid rain -rust -chemicals in an anti spot cream reacting with a silver necklace, turning it black -exhaust fumes -spoilage of foods -chemical fertilizers 1. Global Warming Cause: Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants Our ever increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity

……………………………………………………………….. 10 Summary & Purpose People said that the global temperature is changing higher and higher. That is global warming which can happen the earth heat up. In addition, people said that the global warming happen because of the increase in the atmosphere of greenhouse gas concentrations like water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and ozone. Greenhouse gases are those gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. The largest contributing source of greenhouse gas is the burning

recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies?”(nationalgeographic.com). Global warming is a topic with increasing concern that has received much attention in the last decade. Global warming’s effects are catastrophic, and it is due to human actions that each year 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide and other harmful green house gases are released. However the topic of global warming is not taken seriously. This is mostly because developed countries do not want to look at the fact

adaptation. For this reason, people should reduce the levels of greenhouse emission and subsequently decrease the vulnerability of the population to the effects of climatic change. The science of climate changes integrates profoundly with the dynamics of the population. For example, the mass migration of people from the regions with adverse climatic effects has become a legitimate response to the extreme weather conditions. In the modern societies, climate changes dictate the manner in which people

“Climate change and global warming talk about to an increase of usual global temperature. Natural disasters and human actions are believe to be the main reasons for the happening of average global temperatures increase. This is happen because of increase in ‘greenhouse’ gases such as Carbon Dioxide. A warming planet therefore leads to a revolution in climate which can affect weather in different behaviours.” Climate change mostly happens by the natural cycle of earth however as of now human exercises

include, but are not limited to: enlargement and increased numbers of glacial lakes, increasing ground instability in permafrost regions, warming of lakes and rivers in many regions, earlier timing of spring events, such as leaf-unfolding, bird migration and egg-laying, earlier ‘greening’ of vegetation in the spring linked to longer growing seasons due to recent warming, shifts in ranges and changes in

such as oil and coal are changing the climate and making thousands of Americans sick. Coal burning power plants are poisoning the air and water. “Fossil fuels account for more than 80% of US global warming” (Jon Van, 1988). Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide in the air, creating a greenhouse effect that traps heat in the atmosphere making the Earth heat up. “Each year, an average of 24,000 Americans die as a result of pollution from coal burning power plants” (Greepeace, 2010). Mercury

Why am I telling you about this? You don’t care about this, do you? That’s why nothing has changed. The Tundra as well as the Polar Ice caps home to Polar Bears, Penguins, Snow Fox and Snow Rabbits.Slowly melting due to global warming about 112 billion pounds were added to the ice sheet in the 90’s it has decreased to 82

Currently some scientists are blaming the climate change and global warming on greenhouse effects in the atmosphere while others are blaming the sun for warming up the atmosphere, some are also stating we as humans are to blame for polluting our atmosphere with chemicals that heat up the atmosphere and never make it out into space, which in turn is causing the earth to be more warmer. Some scientists say the increase in green house effects are causing us harm, others are stating it is preventing the

care of it.” God’s intent has remained the same as He wishes for us all to be stewards of His creation. Therefore Christians have a responsibility to preserve and restore the Earth, by reducing water usage and waste, proactively fighting against global warming, and protecting all of the earth’s inhabitants. Reducing Water Usage and Waste Water is the lifeblood of all mankind and without a clean and abundant supply we cannot sustain any
