Global warming is a very sensitive topic and one of the biggest troubles facing the world nowadays. Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperatures of the air and sea at Earth’s surface and the climate change. Over decades, scientists and researchers have made plenty of researches and decided that the temperature of the world is rising. However, this increase in temperature is mainly due to human activities on the Earth’s surface. In its recently released Fourth Assessment Report

Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming Evaluation xxxxxx ECO-370 April 21, 2014 Xiaobing Shuai Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming Evaluation Surface temperature of the earth has been an indicator of threatening critical concern. The principle of a greenhouse is that the enclosing glass or plastic allows the passage of incoming sunlight, but traps a portion of the reflected infrared radiation, which warms the interior of the greenhouse above the outside temperature (Field & Field, 2009, p. 430). This

Grosvenor, Roble and de Castro - Global W arming and Glaciers The Traprock, Vol. 3, M ay 2004, pp 16 - 19 16 Global Warming and its Effects on Glaciers Andrew Grosvenor, Will Roble and Marcus de Castro The addition of more greenhouse gasses to earth’s atmosphere has been blocking an increased amount of the heat radiated out from the earth’s surface. This in turn has lead to higher average global temperatures, or global warming. One of the main problems posed by this development is the melting

Climate change is attributable to both natural and anthropogenic factors. Anthropogenic climate change, which are also known as human induced climate change, is a result of increase in greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere, increase in atmospheric aerosols, and changes in land use, for instance, through cutting down of forests to create farms. The increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes an increase in the amount

300 years, the world has no longer experienced such a warming trend as we are having now. In fact, the World Meteorological Organisation has pronounced that the international temperature is 1.2C above pre-industrial ranges and for 3 years in a row, that has been the hottest 12 months on file. Though the scientific proof seems frantic in favor regarding global warming, there are those, for more than a few reasons, who trust that global warming is a hoax yet not empirically verified. This is disappointing
