Global Warming Global warming is a growing problem for the ever-growing planet. As humans grow and expand as a species, it seems as though the climate changes just as fast. The ice caps are melting and summers are getting hotter. Global warming is a growing problem because there was no problem with our atmosphere before, humans as a species do not care what the end result of losing our atmosphere would be like, and the growing technology and transportation are a big issue because of the gas emitted, causing the Earth’s atmosphere to get thinner. Time is a battle that is never won. With an ecosystem as frail as the Earths, time is all that is left before the atmosphere dissipates. Before humans came along and created a hole in our atmosphere, the Earth was not as frail. Now that humans are the sustainable species here on earth, we tend to take it for granted, and use parts of the earth as a trash can. This creates chemicals that are released into the atmosphere causing it to essentially rot away. Earth has everything the human race needs to survive, but if humans continue to abuse our atmosphere, humans may end up with nothing but an overheated, watered down planet. As the atmosphere tends to worsen, humans will start seeing a change in the weather. This is already going on and nobody has done anything to significantly improve the situation. Humans need to evolve around what is most important to daily life, the atmosphere. With this information provided, common sense says stop ruining the ozone. Humans continue with their day-to-day life without any worries that the ever failing atmosphere will eventually fail without everybody’s help. As humans evolve, so does technology, and with technology come advantages and disadvantages. When the disadvantages can ultimately destroy the planet,
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…
