Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other air pollution collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Currently, the state of Texas ranks number one in the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the air, toxic chemicals released into the water, and the amount of hazardous waste generated. As a result, the number one issue in Texas today, is the amount the state as a whole is contributing to the worsening of global warming/pollution

http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/pollution-overview/ it says that car, planes, buses, and many other modes of travel release carbon dioxide into the air which is one of the main components of global warming. Most of the activities that use fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide into the air. Cutting back on emissions of fossil fuels can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide on other greenhouse gases that cause global warming. A big problem with air pollution is that it can

is natural causes which include volcanic eruptions and variations in solar outputs. These causes have negative effect on the natural environment which leads to increasing of temperature, increasing in sea level, changing of precipitations, extremely weather, killing species of animals, birds, fish and plants. This essay will show that the causes of climate change have different effects on the environment. Atmospheric carbon dioxide variations, volcanic eruptions and solar outputs, have negative impacts

Global Warming: What you need to know about the warming of the earth, what's at stake, and how it's affecting us. Introduction: Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases predominantly carbon dioxide, and as well as smaller amounts of methane, water vapor and sulfur oxide all acts as a heating agent for the Earth surface, captivating warmth and warming it. (Hansen, 2016). Greenhouse gases and additional air contaminants accumulate in the stratosphere and captivate the suns energy and solar

the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable. Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global warming that is believed to be coused by the greenhouse effect. The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink

on to say that, “[t]he climatic changes caused by the Global Warming are due to greenhouse gases and the responsibility of EPA is to regulate pollutants under the Clean Air Act” (Marris). This article provides support and evidence to show the serious effect car emission has on the earth. It is evident that car emission is the leading cause of global warming, a problem that can be addressed through being responsible. Although global warming is a highly disputed topic, certain pieces of hard evidence

or read an article about Global warming? A person would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t. The news is hard to ignore since the information that is given to us comes from scientists or experts in the field of global warming. We are continually bombarded with information that the Earth is experiencing a warming trend, and human activity is to blame. The pollution that man creates is adding to the earth’s greenhouse gases. The resulting affect of global warming is triggering warmer temperatures

currently facing is global warming. Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s surface temperature, mainly due to the effects of certain greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from either deforestation or monoxides found in pollution. These gases would trap the heat that would supposedly escape from the surface of the Earth, which would effectively increase the Earth’s surface temperature. From the name itself, we can already know the main effect of global warming to the Earth.
