Global warming and climate change can both refer to the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming. More than 90% of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming; the remainder has melted ice, and warmed the continents and atmosphere. Many of the observed changes since the 1950s are unprecedented over decades

Christopher Burge Global Warming Global warming is a grave issue that is affecting not only the United States, but the whole world as well. Various international strategies need to be implemented so that these issues can be tackled. If taken seriously, the issue of global warming can not only be overcome, it can be prevented as well. Poll conducted in my community- family members, friends, and coworkers- asking if they felt whether or not global warming was a problem or not or undecided:

Global Warming Did Humans start it and can it be stopped? SCI 207 Stacy Murphy October 8, 2012 Global Warming: Did humans start it and can it be stopped? Humans have used planet Earth and its resources like they had no end. But for the few years they have started coming to realization that Earth and the people on it cannot survive for much longer, if they don’t change the way they are living. Now that it has come to this, they are trying to strategize and come up with ways to try and save

the warming, which now looks more and more like a natural cycle. See updates below. – Anthony ================================================================ Guest essay by Bob Tisdale The recently published climate model-based paper Recent global-warming hiatus tied to equatorial Pacific surface cooling [Paywalled] by Yu Kosaka and Shang-Ping Xie has gained a lot of attention around the blogosphere. Like Meehl et al (2012) and Meehl et al (2013), Kosaka and Xie blame the warming stoppage

Global Warming Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing human beans and world leaders today . Warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests. Global warming is when the temperature of the earth rises which causes the earth to heat up. This effect happens because of greenhouse

Global Warming Global warming, an increase in the earth's temperature due to the use of fossil fuels and certain industrial and agricultural processes leading to a buildup of “greenhouse gases” (principally carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor) in the atmosphere. Since 1896 it has been known that these gases reduce the escape of the earth's infrared radiation into space and this function to maintain the earth's relatively warm temperature. This is called

Global Warming As you already probably know global warming is having a big impact on society. Global warming is causing more killer storms, massive crop failures, widespread extinction, and much more. Firstly, the rate of killer storms has definitely increased in the last couple of years as global warming has progressively gotten worse. The reason we are having more killer storm is because there is trapping emissions in the atmosphere, from burning coal, gas, and oil. We need to burn these

GLOBAL WARMING NAME INSTITUTION GLOBAL WARMING The gradual increase of temperatures within the earth surface has raised concerns off late. Global warming; which is the gradual heating up of the earth surface, has posed threats to the survival of flora and fauna and to some extreme extent resulted to the extinction of some species. Scientists have documented the statistics on the world changing temperatures since 1800. It is evident from the data collected that the earth surface temperatures

Global Warming The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Growing up I heard this phrase in folktales as a “wolf cry”-- a cry that is so ridiculous that nobody would believe it. Now that global warming is a major environmental issue, the saying doesn’t sound so out of place. Most people might say: what is global warming? That’s the question that was running through my mind when I first heard we were watching a documentary on it in my English 130 class. The film is Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth
