or Global Warming has been an issue for so long, but do we really care about our dying world? In the past years, scientific evidence for the warming of the climate system has been tracked down and is very unequivocal. According to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), these are the signs that we are in a state of a climate change: The sea level rise – global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century. Global temperature rise – all three major global surface

Reflection of Field Notes from a Catastrophe Elizabeth Kolbert’s Field Notes from a Catastrophe was my first in-depth look into climate change, global warming, and the contribution of humans to these things. Global warming was something I vaguely knew about before reading this book, but it never really caught my attention or seemed like a major issue in the world. After reading Field Notes from a Catastrophe, I realized that it is in fact a major issue that must be addressed by every community

major threat to coral reefs is global warming or climate change. The warming of the oceans is detrimental for coral reefs because they are very particular about what water temperature they live in. Also the warming of the oceans causes glacier to melt, thus causing rising seas. " The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has found that sea level is rising at a rate of .12 inches per year—60 percent faster than the .08 inches per year it predicted in 2007" (Global Reef Threats). Rising seas causes

Emilia Quinones Jason Thayer English 120 3 February 2015 “Train” PSA Rhetorical Analysis Global warming has been investigated by scientists for many years, and continues to be investigated today. Many people question this issue, wondering when it’s consequences will be among us. Many even question whether or not it exists. Every day, there is new evidence discovered about its existence, which makes us all question what the future holds for the earth that we live on. “Train” is a public service

Sea Ice Explain the trends and why they occur The overall concept of global warming has rapidly influenced the world’s awareness of how our uses of fossil fuels are destroying the natural world. From 1979 to 2000, the sea ice conditions were generally stable. Since then, year by year there has slowly been a decline in Arctic sea ice, most obviously seen from 2008 to present. Year after year scientists are seeing a lower starting measurement of sea ice coverage, though the pattern remains relatively

Climate change Global warming , the definition is the increase in the earth’s ocean and near surface temperatures. In the last decades, there have been many debates about global warming. Greenhouse gases contribute to the climate changes, greenhouses gases is carbon dioxide, but there is an ongoing debate if natural sources, such as volcanoes, and forest fires contribute to the climate changes. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) created the Kyoto protocol, is an agreement

Science of Uncertainty and Climate Science Even with researches on global warming starting as early as 1965, global warming is still hotly debated. At the present, almost all scientist acknowledge that the earth is warming up mainly due to human activities, but the public still somehow remain skeptical (Oreskes 169). Now that why global warming is even worth debating is a question for another day, but here we will discuss how the appeal in climate science as well as clarifying the several facts Bret

on to say that, “[t]he climatic changes caused by the Global Warming are due to greenhouse gases and the responsibility of EPA is to regulate pollutants under the Clean Air Act” (Marris). This article provides support and evidence to show the serious effect car emission has on the earth. It is evident that car emission is the leading cause of global warming, a problem that can be addressed through being responsible. Although global warming is a highly disputed topic, certain pieces of hard evidence
