Global climate change, or global warming as some may know, is becoming an even more important issue in our lives. Global climate change is actually determined by global warming, which is the gradual increase in the temperature of the earth’s lower atmosphere. The modern ways of today’s society is said to be creating scientific problems on earth. The use of greenhouse gases such as the burning of fossil fuels and many other uses of pesticides; one being DDT is harmfully aiding in polluting the air, and is said to be what is trapping the suns warmth, thus causing the greenhouse effect. Many questions have been raised in regards to these circumstances like, how accurate is the information in which scientists are basing their information off of?
The records show that the average global temperature is gradually increasing; however the only problem with our records is that they date back to 100 years ago today. Comparing changes from then to now would make one question whether or not this is true. The reason behind someone challenging this statement is mainly because in that day in age the technology was not nearly as advanced then as it is today; not only that, there wasn’t really any scientist that saw this issue as a concern, so chances are they did not keep track of the changes. Another reason these changes could be challenged is because the earth has been around for millions of years and yet we are only comparing the changes from 100 years ago to now. If you were to lengthen the time frame of the past you would see that earth has had ice ages, and many other different warm and cold climate changes. We are projecting from a very narrow set of data of just 100 years ago, which does
Global Warming Paper Cameron Conolly For years many people have believed that we are causing the Earth to warm up faster. Global Warming is the heating of the climate. Others believe it is due to natural climate processes. Either way, we know that Global Warming is a serious issue for our Earth. One of the reasons we think Global Warming is occurring is because of Orbital Variations. “Orbital Variations” is part of a theory developed by Milutin Milkankovic. An astonishing fact about Milankovic…
Global Warming Jenny Mallory Argosy University Rise of Modern Science Following years of debate publicly on whether global warming is due to natural activities or is the result of mankind, evidence suggests that extreme climate and weather changes are caused by humans. Over the years, the earths’ climate has wavered many times, from periods of record breaking heat to the ice ages. Changes in the sun’s force and the earths’ course around it, along with natural elements such as; erupting volcanos…
SPC 1016 November 06, 2008 Specific purpose: To convince my audience that global warming does exist and we can help put a stop to it. Introduction I. What would you do if someone tells you that the foundation of your home is sinking? Would you try and fix it or would you let it sink slowly? II. Today, I am going to help you recognize that global warming does exist, we are the main cause and we can do something to stop this. III. It is important we all know this because before we know…
GLOBAL WARMING: NATURAL OR MAN-MADE There is no question that there is an increase in Earth’s temperature and we are experiencing what is referred to as global warming. The Earth has experienced this many times in history on a much larger scale, but, humans did not exist (and would not have been able to exist) at the time. The questions now are whether human actions are accelerating the process of global warming and possibly decreasing Earth’s future sustainability; and, if so, what, if anything…
Global Warming and the Threat on the Existence of Life on Earth Lise Scott AIU OnlineAbstract Global warming is a very complex subject with much debate involved with the subject. Although some people do not see global as a threat to all life on Earth, it is a very serious problem, because of warming temperatures including the melting of the polar ice caps and ice sheets, extreme weather patterns, including tornados and hurricanes. If the human race do not curb the problems of carbon emissions…
Global Warming Global Warming has become quite an alarming issue in the past decade. Although most people don’t find it directly affecting their everyday lives. This is the reason not much is being done about it. Some people are in complete denial of this phenomenon, while others are positive it is happening. I personally, believe global warming is happening. My argument is to prove global warming exists. It exists because of society’s everyday habits to use natural resources at an increasing rate…
Global Warming Real or Fake? Global warming is the slow increase of the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere. It is caused by the greenhouse effect which is caused by the increasing levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. Another thing that is causing global warming is methane from agriculture and animals. Also the increase of chemical fertilizers contributes to global warming. Chemical fertilizers are nitrogen rich. Nitrogen oxides have 300 more times the heat trapping capacity…
GLOBAL WARMING Global warming, also called climate change, has become a topic of concern over the past decade. Climate has changed drastically over the past decade, “From 2001 through Feb, 2011 the atmospheric carbon dioxide increased by 22.2% of the total increase from 1800 to 2001” (Pangburn). Although I wasn’t completely aware of global warming and it’s circumstances until recently, I can honestly say that it is a issue to be concerned about. Global Warming is an indisputable…

What Are the Causes of Global Warming? What is global warming? According to NASA Earth Observatory, global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. Global warming is the warming near the earth's surface that results when the earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat. The earth is getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed…
