This has been the warmest decade since 1880. In 2010, global surface temperatures tied 2005 as the warmest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Scientists say that the earth could warm by an additional 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit during the 21st century if we fail to reduce emissions from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. This rise in average temperature will have far-reaching effects on the earth's climate patterns and on all living things. Many of these

Little Abby was in school one day learning about the future effects global warming could have on Earth, later that day she came home from school and told her mom a story all about the changes that could occur from global warming and climate change. She says that when water gets warmer the sea level will rise causing large amounts of land to disappear and many people needing to move away and find new homes. A lot of islands will disappear and many areas will flood. Sea walls will need to be built

Global warming Global warming is the name given to rise in the average temperature of earth atmosphere and oceans. Since pre industrial times, the average temperate of the earth had gone up by 0.8 degree C. There is a consensus among the scientists that the temperate of the earth is increasing constantly. Over 95% of the scientists agree that the increase in the temperate of earth is due to increased anthropogenic actives. Increased anthropogenic activity has resulted in increase in greenhouse gases

century it is impossible to not be familiar with Global Warming – a term used to describe an increase in the Earth’s average temperature. While there is much ongoing debate over the cause of this, one thing is certain: Global Warming is very real, with the planet warming by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the 20th century alone, with over half of this happening from 1980 onward [1]. This change in temperature can be linked to Global Warming Global Warming Mission Plan a. Analysis of the Problem 1.

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. This happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the earth’s atmosphere. Many individuals, including scientists, believe that humans are the major cause of global warming. With the

Do you believe in global warming? If no, there are three reasons stated in this paper that will convince you to believe in global warming. The definition of global warming is “a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide.”(google.dictionary) This means that the more carbon dioxide which gets released in the air the warmer earth will be.

Global Warming What is Global Warming? When speaking of the term global warming, we are referring to a consistent recently measured rise in the average temperature of the planet (i.e. at global scale). However, neither the rise in temperature nor the related impacts on atmospheric and oceanic circulation are likely to occur uniformly across the globe at the same time. Since 1971, 90% of the global warming has occurred in the Earth’s oceans. Despite the oceans' dominant role in energy storage, the

Global Warming Effect on the Earth By Tyler wood THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT -The greenhouse effect is something is the needed for humans to live. The greenhouse effect is in the atmosphere and it traps the UV waves and absorbs the energy. The energy that is trapped in the atmosphere is both absorbed and sent back into space. This action heats up the earth and keeps a layer of heat around the earth. The heat that is kept this layer is enough to heat earth during the night because the earth gets cold

In the controversy over whether Global Warming there is two sides in which people can choose either human caused or just Mother Nature doing her thing. Most scientists will tell you that Global Warming is mostly the cause of humans. While there are some who will disagree and say that it is just nature doing what it has done for thousands of years. For most scientists the topic of global warming is one that is caused by us humans. They have many facts data to back this up. Some examples of these

Carbon dioxide traps heat form the sun. This effect is considered global warming, which is often referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect traps solar heat, like a green house for plants, which causes the solar energy from being released.

Earth began to rise 7,000 years ago, the Ice Age came to an end. The first theory of global warming came in 1824 when French mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier discovered that the Earth's temperature was slowly increasing. Fourier argued that the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation and reflects it back toward the earth. In the late 19th century Fourier's theory was labeled the "greenhouse effect" when Nobel Laureate Svante Arrhenius coined the term to explain how carbon dioxide traps
