Global temperatures on the Earth’s surface have increased by 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit during the last century‚ faster than any time in the last 1000 years (Rauber 41). Consequently‚ the 1990s was the warmest decade in the last 1000 years (“Global Warming”). As humans emit fossil fuels‚ greenhouse gasses slowly warm the Earth’s atmosphere (“EPA Global”). This gradual process is known as global warming. As glaciers begin to melt‚ sea levels rise and coastal areas in Florida may suffer immense losses

Global warming is an increase of temperature world wide‚ which is a serious problem that affects our planet. The effects of global warming include: melting of polar ice caps‚ the rise of sea levels‚ the climate change‚ water contamination‚ devastation of the ecosystem and so on. Humans are to blame for global warming because of population growth‚ to use of non-environmentally safe products‚ and the on of them most important - deforestation. Firstly‚ the increase of population has a major affect

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans‚ a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Even though it is an ongoing debate‚ it is proved by the scientists that the planet is warming. The 29th century is experiencing a continued increase of Earth’s mean atmospheric temperature by about 1.4 degrees F and about two thirds of it occurring since 1980. This is global warming is affecting

Since pre-industrial times (i.e. before the industrial revolution in the late 1700s) global average temperatures have risen by about 0.7°C
