Global Warming

Global warming’s scientific definition is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect. One of the main cause of global warming is the carbon dioxide along with other air pollutions that have been collecting in the atmosphere. Automobiles are commonly knows as the second largest source to pollute the air with about 1.5 billion tons of CO2 in the air. The good thing about today’s technology is that they have made cars to run cleaner and burn much less gas into the streets like it used to. Also, there are many electric cars as well being made and purchased everyday. There are many causes due to global warming. Over the past 50 years, the temperatures have increased the fastest in all time of recorded history. Online the 10 hottest times that were recorded in history were since 1990. Many winter seasons have shortened or not even occurred due to this hot time. The worst part is which country is making up the largest source of global pollution. The United States is. Even though we only make up 4% of the worlds population, we make up 25% of the carbon dioxide that is polluting from fossil fuel burning. We make up the largest percentile of pollution in any country. The only way we can cut any global warming pollution is reducing our vehicle pollutions as well as power plants. We should have future technologies making cars that are cleaner for the environment and modern generators into widespread use. Humans do not cause global warming, but we have been making it worse. The most we can do is try to make our environment eco friendly and help stop the heat!

    The location of sovereignty in the UK in recent years has reduce from one single power and devolved into many unions, treaties and nations within the UK and abroad. Power has been devolved from a single sovereignty parliament in the UK to a-multi sovereignty in the UK and its nations. Scotland has played a bigger part in receiving sovereignty, for example, the electoral system devised for Scotland was to ensure that extremist (Scottish Nationalist Party) could never come to power, but they have, by working within its own sovereign parliament and not a central office, Westminster was pushed into allowing SNP to run Scotland as a country; if Westminster didn’t comply the Union of the United Kingdom, it could possible to break, This would show a weakness in UKs sovereignty.…

    The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Growing up I heard this phrase in folktales as a “wolf cry”-- a cry that is so ridiculous that nobody would believe it. Now that global warming is a major environmental issue, the saying doesn’t sound so out of place. Most people might say: what is global warming? That’s the question that was running through my mind when I first heard we were watching a documentary on it in my English 130 class. The film is Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and it is about the causes of global warming and what it is doing to our planet. Being an environmentally involved citizen and growing up with conservative Republicans as parents, I was torn between not really liking Gore and this extreme reality that I felt was an impending doom on Mother Earth. The day before my writing class my dad called me and I brought up the fact that I was watching Gore’s film; his reaction was, “I’m paying for you to do that?” I tried to tell him it wasn’t about Gore and when I brought up global warming he claimed it was a scheme to get money and that our wor...…

    Global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses; these trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere that should escape from the earth. Global warming is causing sea levels to rise and ice caps to melt this could lead to coastal cities flooding, droughts in area’s which usually get rain and less crops to list only a few affects. The cause of global warming is “greenhouse gasses” these gasses include nitrous oxide carbon dioxide and water vapour. Cars produce CO2, H20 and trace amounts of nitrogen oxide all greenhouse gases, with the amount of cars on the road surpassing the 1 billion mark in 2010 according to Ward’s Auto with the average car realising 7 tons of CO2 each year it is easy to see why cars are one of the biggest contributors to global warming, producing energy for factories to work also produces harmful gases one solution to this problem is Biofuels.…

    In the last century, the sea level has rose for about 17 centimetres. The rate in the last decade is however, nearly the double of last century. Major global surface reconstructions also showed that the Earth has warmed since 1880 and it’s still going on. Oceans are also warming up, due to the heat. Not only that, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting, glaciers are disappearing and extreme weather events have occurred more often. All these phenomena are the evidence of the fact that the Earth is warming up, they are the cause of global warming. Many scientists and researchers are trying to find a way to reduce the heat that the Earth absorbs. But in order to do that, they need to answer one question: What is the main cause of global warming. Is it we, humans, or is it the sun that causes it? Many debates are being held about this topic. Not only that, even documentaries were made about it, like The Great Global Warming Swindle and The inconvenient truth. But still, no one knows whether we, humans, causes global warming or the sun.…

    First, there are many causes to global warming. One of the main causes is carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. Did you know that 40% of U.S. CO2 Emissions come from electricity production, and burning coal accounts for 93% of emissions from the electric utility industry? Another cause is methane which is also ranking right behind carbon dioxide. This means that not only is our planet being destroyed by something we rely on, rather it be electricity or gas for our cars, but many people use these for everyday uses causing our planet to be destroyed.…

    Global warming is the result of the greenhouse effect, which has increased since the human race started to burn fossil fuels in order to extract energy. When fossil fuels are being burnt, greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, set free into the atmosphere. The accumulative pollution causes the atmosphere to reflect heat radiation back towards the earth, instead of letting the gasses disappear into space, because the ozone layer gets thicker. However, without the greenhouse effect, our planet “would be 33 degrees Celsius cooler“ (“McKibben” 4). Since the carbon dioxide has already increased by one third in the atmosphere since the nineteenth century, the effect will be stronger and therefore more heat will be kept inside the atmosphere than before. This phenomenon, called global warming, leads to a hotter climate; as a matter of fact, the earth is today hotter than it has been in over 2000 years (“McKibben” 5-9).…

    Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate. The term global warming is synonymous with Enhanced green house effect, implying an increase in the amount of green house gases in the earth’s atmosphere, leading to entrapment of more and more solar radiations, and thus increasing the overall temperature of the earth.

    As we know, global warming is becoming a global issue. It alarms the whole world to protect the destroyed environment. Global warming is a "natural phenomenon". In general, we know that the origin of global warming is the emission of carbon dioxide. It was verified that the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature: when there is more carbon dioxide the temperature gets warmer. This topic should be discussed under current situation to advocate people concerning with this severe environmental issue. Meanwhile, people should consider how to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and take some actions to stop global warming.…
