Aleksey Golubok Friday 1 PM 10/8/15 Global Warming and Climate Change I. According to data from NASA, the overall temperature in the earth’s atmosphere has been increasing since 1880. Most of this warming, however, has occurred since 1970, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years. This phenomena, known as global warming or climate change, is caused by the greenhouse effect. Gases such as carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons

Adryen SEKA 10/09/2015 ENGL-121 Instructor: Yu Bai Topic: The causes of global warming Climate changes are not new. The studies conducted by the researchers show that global temperature during the prehistoric times was generally warmer than today except during the 5 ice ages. Changes in our climate are indeed as old as our planet earth. However, global warming is one of the biggest issues of the twenty first century. Many researchers, scientists, and environmentalists are expressing concerns

patterns on a global scale. As we move into the future, many climatologists expect that most of the United States will warm. What we do not know yet is how to scientifically predict which parts of the nation will become wetter or drier. We do know there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, and more intense weather systems, in the form of violent rainstorms, blizzards and sun-baked, drier soils. The Facts—What Do We Already Know About Changing Global Conditions

Global Warming The atmosphere is something that is around us everyday, but do we really think about the changes that occur in it. It isn't that we just aren't paying attention, but more of the fact that it is hard to notice slight changes over long periods of time. Everyday gases are released into the air by all living material. The gases in the air are used for many important things. For example, hydrogen is released by volcanoes, which can give energy to the cell; photosynthesis has

What is biodiversity? Why does it change? Why is it important to conserve it? INTRODUCTION Presently these days, lots of people live in urban areas. In this case they are separated from the environment. But another important reason why humans will always depend on the environment is because our lives depend on biodiversity. Meaning that we get clothing, medicines, food and furniture from other species. Just because that people rely on biodiversity they have to conserve biodiversity and can

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities

Global warming and climate change are terms for the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects.[2] Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.[3][4][5] Although the increase of near-surface atmospheric temperature is the measure of global warming often reported in the popular press, most of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming. The remainder has

Carbon Dioxide Impacts global climate by warming oceans, sea level rise, and ocean acidification, because of greenhouse gases. Carbon Dioxide levels have been going up and down not staying steady between the 180 and 260 parts per million CO2 until 1950, it went up to 320. The current level is 407 parts per million. From 2006 until 2018 it has gotten up 29.75 CO2 parts per million. CO2 is related to the greenhouse effect because carbon dioxide is an important heat-trapping gas. 80 percent to 90

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction Abstract The purpose of this paper is to educate U.S. Congress on the facts and unreliable theories of the progression of global warming. What is global warming? The topic of global warming has been met with much controversy over the past several years. What is it, does it exist, and do the facts support the claims of greenhouse gases and high levels of CO2 created by emissions from fossil fuels. Or is there another explanation for the radical weather changes
