Introduction
Many researchers, scientists, and environmentalists are expressing concerns about changes in the overall climate of the earth. Some believe that a dramatically warming is taking place in the overall global climate a problem that is referred to as global warming.

pg4

What is Global Warming and how is it formed?
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as co2 from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. Global warming is a problem of too much CO2 in the atmosphere which is like a blanket trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations. Carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere. Certain waste management and agricultural practices makes the problem worse by releasing other potent global warming gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide. pg5

Causes and Effects of global warming?
The effects of global warming are strongest at the poles. Ice all over the world is melting. This includes the ice on mountain glaciers, Arctic sea ice and ice sheets covering West Antarctica

    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.…

    Global warming is result of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap radiation from sun and hold them from being released back into space. This causes rise in temperature at few places on earth. It is not much noticeable in western part of earth but in eastern parts like North Pole, Alaska and others slight increase in temperatures makes a huge difference. Scientists believe that if current situation continues many kinds of changes will take place which can be either beneficial or harmful for the living beings.…

    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 the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders because it is related many perspectives in our life like economics, climatology, sociology, political science, and agronomy. Understanding the relationship between these perspectives can help us understand more about global warming.…

    Global Warming is an increase in the earth's atmospheric temperatures widely due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. Global warming is melting of ice from poles because of the increase in the extent of carbon dioxide. If due to global warming all the ice from our poles melt into water, the water level on earth increases and submerge the land. Another major cause of global warming is deforestation. Less fresh water will be available. Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active.…

    What is global warming? It is the increase in the mean temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is said that the temperature has been rising by 0.5° every year and the highest temperature recorded was 47.6° in Faya, Chad in 22nd June 2010. This causes the sea levels to rise due to the snow melting. It is said that the sea levels will rise by at least 25 meters by the year 2100. The sea surface temperature has risen in the last few years. This means there will be more evaporation taking place and this frees several chemicals which help global warming take place.…

    To ‘normal’ people it sounds like all these scientists and researchers are making a fuss about something so trivial. But is global warming really a trivial matter or, are the people unconscious about the danger of global warming. If you are conscious about it, you will see that the world is changing slowly due to global warming. Ice is melting worldwide, animals have moved to higher and cooler places, precipitation has increased and an increase of insects. But if global warming continues like this, it can become a disaster. There are possibilities that parts of the world will go under water, because the sea level rises. Floods and drought will occur more often, less fresh water will be available, due to the melting of the ice caps. Not only that, but animal species will be extinct, like the polar bear. Researcher Bill Fraser showed that the numbers of Adélie penguins on…

    Global warming is the rise in average temperature in the earth’s atmosphere and has been occurring since the mid-19th century. It is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbon which collect in the atmosphere causing a blanket which lets heat in and keeps it in causing the temperature to rise. This can have catastrophic effects on some nature on earth, most notably in the Polar Regions. The melting of the ice caps is causing the loss of the polar bears habitat and is also causing sea levels to rise which could heavily impact low lying countries such as the Netherlands and Bangladesh. We can reduce global warming by reducing the amount of fossil fuels we burn.…

    Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. It is already affecting the world as we know it; endangering polar bears, shortening ski seasons and creating more intense storms. Global warming is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, hence increasing the average temperature of the earth. Scientists have stated that the average temperature will likely rise a further 1 to 6 °C still during the 21st century.…

    What exactly is global warming? Global warming is a problem that emerged as a major issue in the late 1980's. Global warming can be defined simply as a rise in the average land temperature around the earth (Hynes 181). Currently, the average temperature of the earth is roughly 57 degrees Fahrenheit (Schneider 16). This temperature could be the result of several different factors. Some of the factors that cause the earth's temperature to rise are natural, but humans have caused many others.…
