Global Warming Can Lead To Global Climate Change

Superior Essays
Throughout the years it has been easier to notice how climate has changed. Some summers are not very warm and some winter are not very cold. Even crazier, sometimes spring feels like winter and summer like autumn, and so on. Since the 1800’s humans have had the knowledge that climate changes are possible, and can happen from atmosphere variations as Fourier calculated in 1824, which can lead to the Earth becoming far colder. Additionally, the industrial revolution lead to “coal, railroads, and land clearing”, which lead to increase greenhouse gas emission. According to the Global Climate Change web page, “greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which makes the Earth warmer.” The gases that constitute the greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, …show more content…
However, if we add more greenhouse gases, as we are doing today, that can lead to global warming. Carbon dioxide is everywhere, in humans, animals, plants, ocean, atmosphere and land. This gas does not “stay in one place or in one form”; it moves throughout the Earth. This natural process makes possible the reduction of this greenhouse gas, but unfortunately we sometimes are not aware that we are the ones who are leading this process to over trap heat. By driving a car, using electricity, not having enough trees or making a product that requires burning gas, or oil we use energy that produce more carbon dioxide, we can lead to the Earth trapping more heat, making it impossible for nature to reduce the amount of this …show more content…
However, must of us are not willing to give up technology, plant more trees, use less electricity, walk long distance or use public transportation. Since we are not willing to give up some activities that lead to global warming, another option is to try to remove the atmosphere (because the atmosphere traps heat through the greenhouse effects), as maybe Joseph Fourier thought in 1824, but wait, that will be a disaster to all living creature on Earth because we would have a bigger problems, such us surface water boiling in the day because of the lack of air pressure. As a result, we would not have the atmosphere to control the heat entering our planet. Also, we would not have protection from the ultra violet radiation, and would have extremely cold nights and warm days, which will make everything on Earth die. We would not be able to survive in that kind of climate, unless we mutate and develop some kind of skin which allow us to withstand those extreme

    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.…

    Earth has experienced variations in climate throughout history. Several cycles of glacial advance and retreat (specifically the Permian, Carboniferous, Cambrian and Pre-cambrian glaciations) demonstrate natural climate fluctuation. These fluctuations can be attributed to deviations in the Earth 's orbit; the amount of solar energy received by Earth differing as a result of this. Current temperature trends display an aberrant rate of increase in global lower-atmospheric temperatures. This indicates an (presumably human-induced) escalation in the volume of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere.…

    Humans causing climate change started in the later 1800s with the start of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution brought the introduction of power-driven machines, factories and the shift of society from rural to urban. Stephen Gardiner once said about the revolution saying, “The Industrial Revolution was another of those extraordinary jumps forward in the story of civilization.” As society continued to industrialize, humans began finding ways to power mechanics and this led to another cause of climate change: the burning of fossil fuels and…

    Does human activity affect climate change causing global warming? To understand global warming better, we need to better understand greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases. So, what is the greenhouse effect? Greenhouse Effect is the trapping of the sun’s heat in a planet’s lower atmosphere, due to the transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the surface.…

    The Earth is constantly evolving and undergoes changes resulting from the innovations of human beings. Much of these changes are subject to the trapped greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that cause global warming and in result climatic changes. The climate changes Earth is continuously experiencing is caused entirely by the industrialization of humans which has pushed our world into the new epoch known as the Anthropocene. Due to the increase in human population, scientists mark the Industrial Revolution as a start of the Anthropocene and initial cause of global warming. This Revolution sparked industrialization that has permanently polluted the atmosphere and continues deterioration.…

    Humans have been adjusting to environmental transformation for ages, enduring ice ages, famines and pandemics. Over some 12,000 years of the Holocene era, the intensities of climate-warming carbon dioxide in the air remained reasonably stable, as did Earth's temperature. Nevertheless, the industrial revolution speeded growth in population, commercial occupation, and pollution, human behaviors began to change the earth's being. Those effects are such that scientists are dating a its initiation of climate change to around 1950.…

    The Industrial Revolution was the turning point for climate change, before that, the changes were not exclusively human related. Even before humans the global temperatures fluctuated on a cycle of hundred of thousands of years as the Earth’s position relative to the sun has varied. Thus, ice ages have come and gone. Natural causes as still in play today but their effects are too slow for the causes seen in today’s environment. Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius predicted in 1860 that carbon dioxide from coal burning would warm the planet.…

    In Earth’s history before the Industrial Revolution, Earth’s climate changed due to natural causes not humans. In most cases, global climate has changed because of differences in sunlight. Tiny movements in Earth’s orbit changed when and where sunlight hits the Earth. Differences in the Sun have increased and decreased the amount of solar energy reaching Earth. Volcanic activity has also, in the past, increased greenhouse gases over millions of years which has contributed to global warming.…
