The effects of global warming on the environment and human life are numerous and varied. Scenarios studied by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global warming will continue and get worse much faster than was expected even in their last report. Research by NOAA indicate that the effects of global warming are already irreversible. The IPCC reports attribute many specific natural phenomena to human causes. The expected long range effects of recent climate change may

Global Warming Anita Orzel Southern New Hampshire University Global Warming The earth has undergone periodic changes known as global cooling, and global warming. Today’s global warming is unique, due to human influences. American people should be concerned, as the world's scientific experts agree that industrial and land use activities are having an unfavorable impact on global warming. Burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gasoline cause buildup in greenhouse gasses, in addition, deforestation

HOW CAN I CONSERVE AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT 1. Create a compost heap in your garden or use a compost bin. This helps recycle food waste and other biodegradable materials. 2. When going shopping, make it a habit to bring your own eco-bags and say no to plastic bags as much as possible. 3. Join as many tree planting trips as you can. 4. If possible, try carpooling to work, business presentations, events, or even to run errands. Think of ways you can reduce the number of trips you make using your

vulnerable to extreme heat. There can be extreme floods and droughts, hurricanes. The warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level. The Earth’s average surface temperature has risen by 0.76° C since 1850. Most of the warming that has occurred over the last 50 years is very likely to have been caused by human activities. In

Paul Marty 1/29/2015 EOH353 Professor Sabty-daily Movie “Too Hot Not to Handle” Written Assignment Global Warming has been a nuisance to environmentalists in recent years. It has been affecting Earth’s oceans, habitats, and biodiversity. Over the years, scientists have conducted experiments to understand the causes and effects of global warming and searching for solutions to prevent it from getting worse. They have warned others about the dangers of pollution and human activities and have

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is commonly referred to as an increase in the temperature of the lowest layers of Earth's atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Primary greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone . Carbon dioxide, as well as other greenhouse gases, is

In order to stop or I would say slow down the global warming, we should prevent the arctic oscillation first. Mentioned earlier, one of the causes of the Arctic Oscillation is snow and ice melting. Everything is connected: the solution to decelerate the global warming is the same as the answer for Arctic Oscillation. One of the huge factors for all these harming Earth is human industry, which burn fossil

known as global warming, strengthens the melting of the polar ice caps, and reduces air quality. Air pollution, just like global warming. Global warming is the change of the earth’s climate and melting of the polar ice caps. Air pollution is a threat to human’s health and the ecosystem as a whole. Deforestation, results in climate changing and decreasing in condition. It’s the eradication of the earth’s forests and trees on a massive scale; killing thousands of species with them. Global warming, deforestation

Comparing the documentaries Antarctic Edge: 70° South (2015) and The 11th Hour (2007), are quite similar but differently portrayed. Antarctic Edge: 70° South, provides an inside look of the rise of temperature from global warming in Antarctica, research that is conducted to map out the ecosystem and the effects of climate change calamities around the world. The 11th Hour mentions these cases,as well as other aspects that are damaging the Earth, such as deforestation, use of fossil fuels and pollution
