Global Warming And Humans

Superior Essays
It is true that the climate has changed and humans are accountable for causing it?
Global warming has been one of the biggest deals of political and scientific controversy. As we know that the scientists have discovered mysteries of the world and universe in the past decades. Is it to be believed that humans are involved in causing the global warming?
One of my main reasons for saying that the Earth is actually becoming warmer, is because of the increasing temperatures through the thermometer records kept over the past century and half. It is recorded that around the world, the Earth’s average temperature has raised more than 1 degree Fahrenheit over the last century, and about twice that in parts of the Arctic.
Likewise, there is evidence

As their concentration is much lower than CO2, none of these gases adds as much warmth to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide does.
For instance, CNN has stated that temperature changes have been notice over the last 50 years, dues to human activities. As 90 to 99% of daily human activities cause global warming.
As I stated before, the main activities include the use of more machines (cars, airplanes, buses etc.) that release carbon dioxide due to population growth, use of non-environmentally safe products (aerosols) and deforestation. As we are cutting down trees the process of photosynthesis cannot take place. Therefore large amount of CO2 are left in the air. So deforestation is the second major factor that causes global warming.
On the contrary, there are believers that support the theory that the global warming is just a natural process and humans are not involved on it. It is said that Sun’s energy output have had an impact on the changes of Planet

If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.’ (Moore, 2014) He also said that a hotter earth would actually be better for humans.
On the other hand, one part research that is often not shared is exactly how little of an effect carbon dioxide has in making up greenhouse gases and even further, of that tiny amount, how much of it is actually created by man.
A Founder of Weather Action Foundation told to RT (Russia Today): ‘I don’t believe in manmade climate change because there is no evidence for it. In fact, carbon dioxide is controlled by world temperatures rather than other way around. Climate change is going on, and the key aspect of the big, very extreme events that happened in the last 18 months were predicted by us, the Weather Action, using solar activity. Carbon dioxide has zero effect, I repeat: zero effect, no effect whatsoever.’ (Corbyn, 2011)
Similarly, their fact is that humans only contribute 3% of all CO2 emissions, the rest is natural itself. So this means they are saying that nature itself is a cause for the majority of CO2 emissions and is not

    Climate Change Crisis Whether humans are causing climate change is a big debate today. This was first introduced in 1815. Also in the 19th century scientists came up with many theories how the climate change was made. This became a major problem in 1988. This will prove that humans are causing climate change.…

On a cold winter day, you feel the cold wind coming towards you and the sky starts to get dark. Then a brief snowfall starts and then suddenly the sky gets darker and the snow gets heavier and this event and the weather change is called the Lake-Effect snow. If you live in the Great Lakes region, perhaps you are familiar with the Lake-Effect snow.…

    These gases go up into the atmosphere creating the greenhouse effect which is increasing the earth’s temperature. The way this works is carbon dioxide traps radiation in the earth causing a rise in temperature. Not only are we contributing to Climate change and Global Warming by driving our vehicles, but we are also contributing by burning coal in our factories, using aerosol paint, and cutting down trees in our forests or…

    However, there can be too much of this. This excess carbon dioxide that humans are adding to the atmosphere increases global temperatures. This causes climate changes that we are experiencing. Since 1960 CO2 has steadily been increasing in the atmosphere, which has caused the mean of temperatures to increase. Vehicle miles traveled have doubled from 1980 to 2004 and vehicles give off CO2.…

    Climate change is mostly caused by the human activities, which causes an increase of greenhouse gasses. Including, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous gasses, fluorinated gasses, and other types of gasses. The burning of fossil fuels and the cutting rainforests can cause an increase in greenhouse gasses. They trap heat and increase the effect on the greenhouse effect.…

    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.…

    The burning of gasses causes greenhouse gas emissions, which is important to many scientists and has been expressed in many paper such as Michael D. Lemonick, the author of “ Climate Change Science- Not Hype.” In this paper he says that “science clearly shows that climate is changing largely as a result of greenhouse gas emissions” (Lemonick). Global warming is definitely caused by humans, it is proved everyday by thousands of scientists. Also in “Climate Change Science-…

    Some believe global warming is a natural cycle that has nothing to do with human activity. Anthony Lupo gives claims to this belief such as "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant as many claim. Carbon dioxide is good for plant life and is a natural constituent of the atmosphere. During Earth’s long history there has been more and less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than we see today" ("Global Warming"). Carbon dioxide may be good for plants but according to data the last time there was this much carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist.…

    From the start of the 1900s to 1950, world population began to experience an exponential increases, more than doubling from one billion in 1927 to two and a half billion in 1950, the year carbon dioxide started reaching record concentrations (“World Population” 1). As carbon dioxide levels rose, the population would reach just over seven billion. This correlation occurs because as more people populate the earth, more people are driving cars, burning fossil fuels, and removing forests, which releases greater and greater quantities of carbon dioxide each year. While many are skeptical of the realities of climate change, ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree…

    Imagine having summer all year long, being under the sweltering heat, breathing the stuffy, sick air, and conditions worsening as the day goes by. These harsh conditions are increased by air pollution and climate change through cars and factories; man-made inventions. These innovative technologies have been necessary in order to have a functioning and developing society and economy. However, the belief that humans are the sole cause of climate change is refuted by scientists, advocating that the change in the Earth’s climate is a natural cause. Earth formed over about 4.5 billion years ago, and it has changed ever since then.…

    We can clearly see this through the greenhouse emissions given off by humans since the start of industrialisation as well as in the past (Ruddiman, 2003) with new innovative land use and agricultural discoveries. There seems to be no compelling evidence to suggest that climate variations occur alone and have no human input and in the past 11,000 years, climate could have only gone through such variation through human input. Nevertheless, Professor Liu (2014) comments on the topic of climate claiming that “Who is right? Or Maybe none of us is completely right”, which implies that the topic still remains under debate as of the ever-changing nature of the climate, and has done so during past…
