Global Warming Debate Humans have known about global warming for many years. MANY people think that our concern about carbon dioxide and global warming is a modern preoccupation driven by the attention of high-profile personalities, politicians and green activists. But Al Gore did not discover global warming. Nor did Tim Flannery, Peter Garrett, Greenpeace or Malcolm Turnbull. Scientific concern about global warming is not new. A single scientific paper, published more than three decades ago

Global warming means the rise in the mean global temperature to a level which affects the life-forms on the earth surface. The factors responsible for this warming may be both natural and man made. Warming of the globe due to natural factors is not an unusual phenomenon. The earth's climate is variable. For example, about 18,000 years ago, the earth was about 5°C cooler than it is today. That was the last glacial period on the earth. There after, the global temperature began to rise. The earth

If we look 40 years ago , everybody was propagandizing Global Cooling. And 40 years later people are talking about Global Warming, Isn’t it amazing how they use the same picture for two opposites? Over a hundreds of thousands of years, the Earth’s average surface temperature has varied within a narrow 4-degree.Climate changes is natural, continuous and repetitive phenomena and we do not have the power to change it. The planet has gone through cold and warm episodes and it will continue to do

Global Warming in the Arctic Myles Ross November 15th, 2013 Throughout the past 100 years, climate change has been a very noticeable issue worldwide. The speed of temperature excursion has been the highest it’s been since the Stone Age (Module 7). Climate Change can be considered caused through greenhouse gases, water vapor, albedo and solar radiation (Model 7). Combined, these factors cause radioactive forcing, which highly contributes to the Earth’s energy balance (Module 7). The change
