My speech will be about Global warming, this is the rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.
In 2011 the emission of carbon dioxide and was the highest it had ever been before and it had also taken a similar jump in 2012.
Over all, emissions of carbon dioxide had jumped 3 percent in 2011 and in 2012 it was estimated that it had jumped another 2.6% in 2012.
Scientists are 90% sure that Humans are the cause global warming from producing greenhouse gases produced by human activity like using a car which is burning fossil fuels and also is caused deforestation.
Since the early 20th century the Earth’s average temperature has increased by 0.8 degrees centigrade.

The effect of an increased temperature will result in the rise of sea levels.
Global warming is strongest in the arctic and causes a more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events such as heat waves, heavy rainfall, droughts and species extinction.

How do we stop Global Warming?

Turning the thermostat down a few degrees can make a big difference in decreasing our carbon dioxide emissions.
Replacing a regular light bulb with compact florescent lights will save you £15 over the life of the bulb and reduce global warming.

Driving less and using public transport more often will reduce the carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels which are burnt every day from transportation vehicles.

Decorating your house with plants and trees will help as they take in carbon dioxide and produce

    Global Warming consist of many issues that affect our daily lives. We can all do out part in trying to mitigate global warming There are many simple steps you can take right now to cut global warming pollution. Make conserving energy a part of your daily routine. Each time you choose a compact fluorescent light bulb over an incandescent bulb, for example, you 'll lower your energy bill and keep nearly 700 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the air over the bulb 's lifetime. By opting for a refrigerator with the Energy Star label indicating it uses at least 15 percent less energy than the federal requirement over a less energy-efficient model, you can reduce carbon dioxide pollution by nearly a ton in total.

    Human influences also contribute to climate change by increasing in the CO2 levels. Carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas. That means warm air is staying close to the Earth like in a greenhouse. The increase in the CO2 levels has been a problem over the years due to carbon dioxide. There are twenty-nine billion tons emitted in our atmosphere. Forty-three percent still stick around that called airborne fraction. Deforestation is big factor in how we contribute to climate change. Deforestation means our forests are being burned down for building cities and for farming. This is hurting our atmosphere and our animals, trees and etc.…

    The view that human activities are likely responsible for most of the observed increase in global mean temperature ("global warming") since the mid-20th century is an accurate reflection of current scientific thinking. Human-induced warming of the climate is expected to continue throughout the 21st century and beyond.…

    For example, if a person shares their car with friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family when driving in similar directions on a regular basis or if a person decide to use a public transportation, they will save 30 grams of CO2 per every 4, 5 kilometers that they do not lead. For every liter of fuel that burns the engine of a car, there is liberated an average of 2, 5 kilos of CO2, according to the European Commission. Important to realize,72% of the total emitted greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), which has been dramatically increased within the last 50 years and is still increasing by almost 3% each year.…

    Global warming’s a severe concern that is plaguing our environments and communities. Global warming occurred when the rise in the average temperature of both the Earths atmosphere along with the oceans. Since early 20th century the Earth’s temperature has continued to raise giving merit to the beliefs that global warming warrens concern. Jiansong (2011) believed tropical storms became worse over the years and global warming has become such an issue become such an issue it needs to be combated. Miller (2012) preformed experiments to measure the change in the earth’s tempters over the years. Venkataramanan (2011) believed that global warming led to an increase of disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods; Sherman (2010) believes global warming was a severe problem. Sherman (2010) people must first look at the global temperature change, secondly people must observe the climatic changes, and lastly people need to forecast the weather trends to get a better understanding of what global warming really is and how we can improve our surroundings. Jiansong (2011), Miller (2012), Venkataramanan (2011), and Sherman (2010) discussed the global temperature changes.…

    “The global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has increased from a pre-industrial value of about 280 ppm to 379 ppm in 2005. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in 2005 exceeds by far the natural range over the last 650,000 years (180 to 300 ppm) as determined from ice cores. The annual carbon dioxide concentration growth rate was larger during the last 10 years (1995–2005 average: 1.9 ppm per year), than it has been since the beginning of continuous direct atmospheric measurements (1960–2005 average: 1.4 ppm per year) although there is year-to-year variability in growth rates .”…

    The main cause of global warming is thought to be the 'greenhouse effect' that is mainly caused by us humans. With an increase in temperature glaciers worldwide are melting faster than the time taken for new ice layers to form, sea water is getting hotter and expanding causing sea levels to rise, rivers overflow due to melting glaciers causing floods, forest fires are on the rise, and innumerable undesired effects are taking place due to global warming.…

    Climate change, often referred to as global warming, is a rising issue that has been further developed over recent years. To clarify, the term ‘climate change’ refers to any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time. Such changes include but are not limited to major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns occurring over several decades or longer. Therefore, the specific term ‘global warming’ is only one aspect of climate change and used when referring to recent and ongoing rise in global average temperature near Earth's surface. This steady rise in temperature is causing significant changes in weather and climate which is alarming because even small changes can create problems in our delicately balanced environment which will lead to challenges in our society. As a human race, we depend on the environment for fresh food, fresh water, and fresh air, so when there are complications with the balance of the environment, there are potential complications to our survival.…

    Carbon dioxide can be released into the atmosphere in multiple ways such as animals, including humans, breathing in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. However, a major factor contributing to the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels. In the document, “Carbon Dioxide Levels Over the Last 10,000 Years,” there is a graph showing the CO2 levels over the last 10,000 years. There is a very clear, sharp increase in about the 1800s to the 2000s. This is when the Modern Revolution brought about automobiles and inventions that are being built in factories.…

    An ecological footprint is the measurement system that helps us calculate the human pressure(the human demand) on Earth 's ecosystems.It calculates what percentage and part of the world we use individually or in groups. Ecological footprint is calculated by looking over all of the biological products/materials consumed and all of the biological waste produced,by a person during a specific year.All of these products/materials and waste require an ecologically fertile/productive area such as forests,croplands,etc...Than all the products/materials and waste are one by one and individually translated into an approximat number of global hectares.…
