Global Warming, Carbon Footprint, and Solutions The state of Florida is considered a peninsula. Three-fourths of the state is surrounded by water. It has over a thousand miles of coastal land at sea level. Now, imagine global warming melting the polar ice caps. It is estimated that the sea level would rise by an average of 6 feet world wide. This would essentially wipe out the coastal cities of Florida such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pensacola, Tampa Bay, etc. Global warming has become

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is a big issue of the atmosphere on the earth which cause continuous rise in the surface temperature of the Earth. It has been estimated that in next 50 or 100 year the temperature of earth would be increased to a great level which would create big problem of living on earth. The highly known and most basic cause of increasing the Earth’s temperature is continuous rise in the atmospheric carbon dioxide. Rise in the carbon dioxide level is the use fossil fuels like

For those who don’t know what global warming is, it is the increase of the Earth’s average surface temperature. Major human activities like carbon dioxide releases from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation aid to global warming. Also another aid to this problem are green house

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

biggest issues is the problem of global warming, in which the temperature of Earth is rising quickly than ever before, and it is affecting every aspect of life on this planet, from agriculture to animals to humans. It is believed by many, that the advance technology is one of the main reasons why it exists, but the debate never ends on this. Along with that, emission of greenhouse gasses and deforestation are also considered some main reasons for its cause. . Global warming is not just a scientific concern

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is commonly referred to as an increase in the temperature of the lowest layers of Earth's atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Primary greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone . Carbon dioxide, as well as other greenhouse gases, is

Fernando Aguirre AP English Mrs. Graney Can Global Warming Affect the Environment? Glaciers collapsing, animal species fading, and human lives disappearing are all part of the grand phenomenon, Global Warming. Alterations of global climates around the world are real, and are happening now. Sadly though, the only ones to blame are us simply because reside on this planet, and we manage this planet. Whatever we say goes. Therefore, we must take care of this rather
