Due to, again warmer temperatures both maximum and minimum we are seeing ice melt. “Data from NASA's Grace Satellites show that the land ice sheets in both Antarctica and Greenland are losing mass. The continent of Antarctica has been losing more than 100 cubic kilometers (24 cubic miles) of ice per year since 2002” (Global Climate Change: Key Indicators, 2014). Warming air and land temperatures seem to be causing the land ice and artic ice to melt. Where is all this melting ice going?
Global warming is the result of greenhouse gases. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere leads to the alteration of weather patterns. Because temperature and moisture are essential to the way organisms and ecosystems develop, climate change impacts can be a major threat to mammals. Researchers estimate that global warming has the potential to severely alter 35% of the world’s existing habitats. Climate change may cause species loss as high has 20% in the arctic habitats
We then, can assume the reason for the increasing temperature was resulted from industries, over-powering energy with coal during that specified time period. Manufacturing produces massive amounts of carbon dioxide along with other greenhouse gases, resulting in warming the whole planet, hene causes climate changes. Thus, it can be concluded that humans have a strong correlation with the increasing temperature and climate changes that are happening
Global Warming!! Global Warming is the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent. Global warming is very heart breaking and is becoming a serious problem in a negative way. It needs to come to the end and the only ones that can stop this epidemic is “us”.
June Avant English 101 November 22, 2010 Global Warming Controversy Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere which causes climatic changes. Global warming leads to changes in rainfall patterns, sea level, negative impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. Al Gore and Daniel Botkin both have great points about global warming. Botkin has a scientific perspective about global warming; however, Gore’s position is better. Al Gore uses facts and evidence to support his views about global warming.
Over the years we have seen the change grow rapidly. Firstly the greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of climate change. The five following gasses contribute to the greenhouse gas effect: Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Water Vapor is the most rich greenhouse gas. It increases as the Earth’s atmosphere warms which makes it the most feedback mechanisms to the green house effect.
If ongoing pollution cannot be reduced, then the climate is just going to keep getting worse day by day. As a result, not only will a single nation be suffering, but also the entire planet will change due to global warming. Of course, if people can make efficient adaptation plans to control the ongoing global warming and climate change, in the future it can prevent the threat of global warming and many other climate change issues. After all, the consciousness that man could alter the climate of Earth has dawned slowly on their awareness. Work Cited Begley, Sharon.
Eaarth Chapters 1 & 2 We’ve changed the planet. Global warming is no longer philosophical or future threat but instead a current and very real threat. The changes made to our planet are more evident in the toughest parts of the planet, and climate change is wrecking the lives of thousands daily. We need to consider the world we’ve created and how to live in it. We need to figure out what part of our lives we must forego and what ideologies we must abandon so that we can protect our societies and our civilizations.
Global Warming By Amanda Lardino Sci 275 What are the main causes of global warming? Is there things we can do to prevent it? Those are two of the main questions that have come to mind about the way to focus our thoughts on what can be done to decrease this issue in the world today. One of the major atmospheric issues that has been destroying the environment for years is global warming. I have read that in the present compared to the past global warming has increased tremendously.
Their voices in the wilderness frighten us with the predictions of Cassandra's type: the retreat of glaciers is dramatic, and the homes of up to 88 million people may have been flooded by the 2080s. It may be so, but we are adapting to cool summers and warmer winters, as well as we are adapting to technological advances. When one problem becomes of general concern, something else is missing. What about wastes, environmentally abusive profiteering, current global economic and financial crises? Isn't "global warming" our inability to unite our efforts, to learn how to live globally in peace with our own selves and our natural surroundings?
