...Reduce Global Warming! How many of you already feel very warm in this room/hall. What if I tell you that in another 40 years, the temperature outside is going to be so hot that you will feel like a baking bun inside an oven? It is a horrible scenario isn’t? Well, that is the exact situation we are going to be in if we don’t stop Global Warming now. Today. To give a heart start, Global warming literally means that the Earth’s average temperature is rising. Data recordings have shown that the Earth’s Global Temperature is rising in an alarming rate such that by the end of this century, the global temperature is estimated to have risen by 6.4 degrees Celsius. This rise in temperature is caused by increased emission of greenhouse gases produced by humans in activities such as burning of fossil fuels. Gases such as Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous dioxide, (HFCs) are a few of the greenhouses emitted into the atmosphere by humans. This may seem little to us, but with each degree rising in the Earth’s temperature, the delicate fabric of Mother Nature is being destroyed. Imagine cute, little baby penguins dying because of us humans! We don’t want that to happen, so we need to take certain steps to reduce global warming. As students, we can play an important part in stopping global warming by following these two important ways to reduce emission of Green House gases. Number 1: Switch “OFF” lights and all electrical appliances when we leave the room or when not in use. This saves...

...窗体底端 The global warming speech you will find below discusses a topic close to the hearts of many of us. In fact, it's a topic that is likely to remain current until measures designed to protect the environment are seen to be having a positive impact. Beginning of Global Warming Speech "That so many of us are here today is a recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing. Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history, for if we fail to meet it - boldly, swiftly, and together - we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe." These are the words President Obama used to begin his global warming speech before the United Nations Summit in 2009. Search Google for global warming and you will get almost 65 million pages of results. The subject has certainly drawn a lot of attention. But just what is global warming? What is causing it? What effects does it have on the earth and its inhabitants? What are some possible solutions? These are the questions that I will be addressing in this short, informative speech today. What is Global Warming? Global warming is the gradual increase of the temperature of earth's atmosphere and oceans. Over the past century the average temperatures have gone up by just over one degree. This may not seem like much, but many scientists agree that the earth's temperatures are starting to increase at a faster rate. What Causes It? Global warming occurs...

...13 October 2009 Global Warming The Earth's climate is constantly changing over time. Many climatologists believe that the temperature of the Earth slowly fluctuates over time. In fact, several scientists estimate that between 15,000 and 30,000 years ago the Earth was covered by large sheets of ice. This period of time was known as the Ice Age. As the temperature of the Earth began to rise 7,000 years ago, the Ice Age came to an end. The first theory of global warming came in 1824 when French mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier discovered that the Earth's temperature was slowly increasing. Fourier argued that the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation and reflects it back toward the earth. In the late 19th century Fourier's theory was labeled the "greenhouse effect" when Nobel Laureate Svante Arrhenius coined the term to explain how carbon dioxide traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Today, scientists disagree on the effects of global warming while some deny the phenomena all together. Despite these arguments many historians point out the direct relationship between man and the environment, often referencing the American Dust Bowl of the 1930s, where large scale soil erosion reduced parts of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to arid deserts. Currently, many governments and corporations are working to reduce fuel emissions and produce "Earth friendly" products such as hybrid cars. Yet, many scientists warn that global warming is an imminent and...

...In the year 2014, it seems that there should be no doubt that global warming is among us and climate change is affecting the earth in a negative pattern. What many people are unsure about in regards to climate change include where it comes from, what the major implications could be if global warming is not addressed, as well as what we as humans living on planet earth can do to aide in creating a sustainable future. Through this article, with the help of experts, we will address all of these areas involved with today’s climate change. It is hard to pin point one exact cause for climate change because in reality there are many things that contribute to it. Al Gore points out in his speech that the burning of fossil fuels, namely coal, is the main reason that we are observing global warming. (Gore, 2009) According to the EPA, the electricity we create today by burning these fossil fuels accounted for thirty-two percent of greenhouse gas emissions in 2012. Although burning coal and fossil fuels is the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions, a surprising factor to climate change is the fact that agriculture makes up for nearly ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Agricultural emissions come from sources such as agricultural soils, rice production, as well as livestock, such as cows. (Environmental Protection Agency, 2012) Environmental author Anna Lappé also notes agriculture as being a large source of the greenhouse gas emissions weakening our planets health. Lappé...

An Inconvenient Truth Reaction Paper The award winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore is an eye opener and somehow it is a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming way back high school and heard it often when I entered college. I knew the meaning of the term global warming and that was it. I knew a little about it, what causes global warming and how fatal are its effects to Earth. And honestly, I never really cared. I was one of those people who treat it very lightly and after watching An Inconvenient Truth I was caught off guard by the concrete and hard fact. After watching the documentary I knew what Earth’s big time enemy is today, and that is global warming. The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a...

...Analysis of the Ted.com The speaker: Rob Dunbar The title of the talk: Discovering ancient climate in oceans and ice The theme of the speech is ecological problems of the ocean warming and acidification. The genre of rhetoric is academic performance at the conference. The speaker reveals new scientific facts and the experiment results to form a different point of view on the global ecological problems of the ocean. The aim of the performance is to persuade the audience that ocean acidification is much more important than the global warming, which took place on Earth several times. The main persuasive instrument is logical proof, though the speaker combines both rational and emotional argumentation. The arguments had been thoroughly chosen in advance according to the principle of the qualitative approach to the argument selection. Moreover, they are put in Homer’s order «strong – weak – the strongest», which efficiency is based on the psychological «edge effect» of memory. The speech is classically composed and consists of three parts: introduction, main part and conclusion. The introductory part is worth more attention. Evidently, the speaker had spent lots of time choosing the right words to say and there had been many options of the probable introduction. And the necessary aims had been achieved: he managed to draw people’s attention to the problem, to break the ice and to inspire confidence in his report. There is no greeting and the speaker takes the bull by the...

Over the past century the average temperatures have gone up by just over one degree. This may not seem like much, but many scientists agree that the earth's temperatures are starting to increase at a faster rate. What causes it? Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane trap heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Think about what happens when you open your car door after the windows have been rolled up on a hot day. Heat from the sun enters the car, but the frame of the car prevents it from escaping. To a small extent, this is a representation of what happens during global warming. Burning fossil fuels like petroleum and deforestation both contribute to the problem What Effects does Climate Change Have on the Earth and its Inhabitants? Global warming has already started to affect the earth in several ways. Arctic glaciers have begun to melt, threatening life such as the polar bears. Melting glaciers also cause sea levels to rise. This could become a problem for low land areas like the ones in the South Sea Islands. Ocean temperatures have begun to rise. This causes some of the algae to die which can affect the entire food chain. What are some Possible Solutions to the Problem? There are ways we can combat the effects of global warming. The Clean Air Act of 1990 is a law in the...

Madam Chairperson, Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu( Minister of Education), Hon. Clement Kofi Humado (Minister of Youth and Sport), The Headmaster, Staffs, Students, The media, Distinguished invited guest, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a privilege to be among you, on this faithful day of World International Youth Day to share with you knowledge on Global Warming which is one of the most critical global challenges of our time and the role we as Ghanaian Youths have to play to curtail this concern. What at all is global warming that, we are talking is about? To be on an even field of play, according to Oracle Education Foundation-ThinkQuest; Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). This happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature, termed as Greenhouse effect. Recent events have emphatically demonstrated our growing vulnerability to global warming. Global warming impacts range from affecting agriculture, further endangering food security, to sea-level rise and the accelerated erosion of coastal zones increasing the intensity of natural disasters, species extinction, and spread of vector-borne diseases.

...continues on into the future one can also look at the timeline of controversial topics throughout history and see how the public perception has also changed as time has progressed. The change of public opinions overtime may very well be due to the fact of how the media presents the topic to the public. The portrayal of a certain controversial subject can either demonize or glorify a particular topic all depending on the public’s mindset during that specific time and the presentation of the story. Such specific controversial topics overtime to name which created this bias include: Freedom of Speech, African-American rights, women’s rights, racism, and the topic of In God We Trust vs. Freedom of Religion in America. These are just a few to name from previous years as today’s ethical issues include: war, same sex- marriages, legalization of marijuana, divorce, crime increase, equality, and Global Warming. The different forms of communication that have been used to reach the mass media overtime are the newspaper, telegraph, radio, magazines, television, and internet. The definition of the news can be classified into two concepts. “News and newsworthiness”, that means that the main objective of the press is to release information about significant changes that can affect a large group of people or possibly society as a whole (Vivian, 2011). Television reporter’s main intent is to always stay away from sounding biased, which means both debating parties should be presented in the story. An...

...Where is the Earth heading? Albert Gore's speech "Global climate change: Protecting the environment" is a very inspiring essay not just because global warming is a big discussed issue these days but also because it's one of the biggest problems. Some examples of worsening condition are the higher and higher temperatures all over the world, the poisoning of the water and air on the Earth, and another one “the unprecedented loss of living species at a rate that has not taken place on this planet since the disappearance of the dinosaurs so many tens of millions of years ago” (Gore). This is very shocking and unimaginable because without animals we neither the Earth won't be able to survive. Al Gore was preparing this speech very much, since he thought through the details about where it would take it's place or to what will make him look convincing and more trustworthy for his audience. He chose to preform it in Washington DC “at a first green university”, and he begins with thanking all the significant people who are there listening to him. Even through there is more young adults than “high positioned" people listening to his speech, there is at that moment most of our “next generation” science students that he wanted to inspire from beginning of their careers. Through his speech, he mentions that “soon 120 countries will have a meeting in Berlin” (Gore) where he will show that other countries are starting to deal with this problem all over the world too.

It also outline the individuals responsibility towards saving the earth from global warming. GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT CAUSED BY BUSINESS ACTIVITY ʻ Global warming is too serious for the world any longer to ignore its danger or split into opposing factions on it. ʼ These are the golden words which are spoken by TONY BLAIR in one of his speech dated on Sept 27, 2005. (Blair,2005 ) Global warming means increase in the average temperature of the earth which in turn causes change in climate. (BBC, 2008)The Earth’s atmosphere is covered with a blanket of green house gases (carbon dioxide, methane , water vapour, nitrous oxide and CFC ) .The blanket filters the sun light (UVB radiations ) . When the concentration of these gases increases in the blanket, the temperature also rises. A warmer earth may leads to melting of glaciers, rise in the sea level, and a wide impact on living beings. India‘s annual emission of carbon dioxide is 1.34billion tones. (Filter, Ringward,2008 ) Business activities refer to those economic activities which are connected with production, purchase, sale of goods and services with the main objective of earning profit. Business activities are partially responsible for global warming. Energy is required for heating, transportation, electricity generation, manufacturing...
