Climate Change: The Three Main Causes Of Global Warming

Superior Essays
What is global Warming?
Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels or deforestation, which trap heat that wouldn’t stay on the Earth otherwise.
This is a really big issue for the planet because it’s said that by the time a baby born today is 80 years old, the world will be 6 and a half degrees warmer than it is now.
Main causes of climate change (human)
People are constantly adding several types of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and each gas effect on climate change depends on three main factors:
How much?: people produce a large amount of greenhouse gases every day just doing daily things such as driving cars, using the air conditioner or the heater. Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas you hear people talk about the most, that 's because we produce more carbon

Stopping climate change is very important but is also very easy , you can apply the 3R rule for example, reduce the maximum amount of waste that you product, reuse objects as much as you can and recycle the more you are able to, you must also try to walk, cycle or take the public transport whenever you can this will help a lot the environment because transportation causes 25% of the global warming,
Be energy efficient, switch of the lights and turn of electronic devices when you are not using them, change your light bulbs to compact fluorescents or LEDs and choose a renewable energy, try to install small solar panels so you can save a lot of energy.
Another easy method to stop climate change is to have a plant, they require minimal attention and water and they will help a lot to remove the CO2 from the atmosphere, one plant will not do so much to stop climate change but everybody having a plant in their gardens will end in a great amount of Co2 removed from the atmosphere, remember, not everyone can do everything but everyone can do

    How has our atmosphere changed over time? Our atmosphere has changed vigorously over time. Anyway, for the past 200 million years, the atmosphere has remained the same generally. Scientists theorize that Earth’s early atmosphere was mostly created by the volcanic activity back then; they say that the volcanic activity was very intense for the first billion years on Earth.…

    To begin, animal population is very important to us humans meanwhile lots of animals and plants are undergoing extinction due to the cause of climate change. These events are most likely occurring because of inaccurate behavior of humans,causing temperatures to rise and lots of greenhouse emission to be released quicker than nature can put it out in a natural occurrence. This process is known as global warming ,making it less efficient for humans and animals to live safely in their environment and habitats. This life threatening event is causing animals to go extinct,humans to have worse weather conditions such as stronger hurricanes and severe heat waves. 2000 species of animals and plants discovered to be making movements towards the poles at an average rate of 3.8 miles per decade.…

    Global warming is the rise of the earth's average temperature caused by the greenhouse gases. The drilling and production methods used to make fossil fuels, the clearing of forest and the burning of fossil fuels all release huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and because there is no longer any trees to take in some of the CO2 released by the combustion of fossil fuels, the CO2 gets trapped in the atmosphere. When the greenhouses gases get trapped in the atmosphere they form a cluster and trap the heat in from the sun,…

    Climate Change Climate change is one of the significant factors that have an impact on many of the Earth’s ecosystems, communities, and economies. Scientists have said that human activities are the leading cause of climate change and it should change that because if nothing changes now, it will continue to alter the environment that we depend on for survival. According to NASA, “human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet”. (NASA) Humans are a major cause in producing climate change by cutting down forests, burning of fossil fuels and driving.…

    Climate scientists agree the main cause of climate change is greenhouse gas emissions. Created when sunlight reaches the Earth’s surface, it can either be absorbed by the Earth or reflected back into space. The planet releases some of the energy back into the atmosphere when the rest is absorbed as heat. These gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor: absorb the energy, decelerating or inhibiting the loss of heat back into space. Therefore the gases acting like a blanket, causing the Earth to increase in temperature.…

    Hurricanes are benefitting from the effects of climate change. Humans should be concerned about how climate change intensifies natural disasters, more specifically hurricanes, for it affects our lives and the environment. Places susceptible to hurricanes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean, will be hit by more intense storms in the future if we are not mindful of how to slow down climate change. Hurricanes are formed when the moist air from the surface of oceans rise and meets cooler air as it rises.…

    Everything we do affects the carbon in our atmosphere. Our world already has a natural, balanced carbon cycle to use and reuse the CO2 and therefore keep the levels at a healthy rate in the air. This process from sun to plants through photosynthesis, then into the soil as the plant decays, and evaporation back into the air, is disrupted by auto and factory emissions. We cannot control the natural carbon cycle, and we don’t need to because it is already balanced! However we can control the amount of other miscellaneous emissions we put into the air that offset the natural system.…
