The Causes And Effects Of Global Warming In The World

Superior Essays
Global warming has always been a thought in the back of scientist heads and they knew that it could eventually happen because of the heating of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but in the early 1990’s, scientists had discovered that global warming was quickly becoming an issue on Earth and according to many researches, 97% of those scientist say that humans are the reason for it. According to the PBS documentary, “the climate has gone up 4-5 degrees in just the last fifty years in Alaska, while it should only rise one temperature a year.” The climates are migrating and causing disasters in new regions.

When people are driving their vehicle everywhere it is producing gases, such as carbon dioxide, which are very harmful for a human to breathe in, and those gases are polluting the air. Also, when as the cars are producing these harmful gases, the gases can also sink into the soil and surface waters where they can enter our human food chain. When they enter the food chain, that means humans are digesting these gases. They can affect the human 's reproductive system, respiratory system, and immune systems. People may develop heart disease, especially younger children and newborns because their organs are not fully developed yet as for adults organs are. When people have too much exposure to these gases, they may feel tired and may develop a headache. The U.S. is trying to create cars that will burn more less fuels. A California cop agency was the first cop car agency to have hybrid cars. According to the PBS documentary that was earlier used, “China has huge coal reserves and as they grow, more carbon will be …show more content…
Since the year of 1992, they have kept track of the ice to collect information on the changes each year.

Since 2009, 25,000 homes have been destroyed.” Also it has been said that “by the end of the century, 15% of Bangladesh will be covered in salt water.¨ The sea level rising is also causing damage to our

The article, Greenland’s receding icecap to expose top secret US nuclear project,” by Jon Henley states that the US military project, Project Iceworm of 1959 will be uncovered within the next decade due to global warming. Global warming is when earth’s temperature increases gradually over time. When the temperature rises it causes ice glaciers such as in Greenland to melt over a period of time. The ice melting in Greenland is not the only problem.…

    Scientists from the past that predicted effects to occur from climate change are now happening today: loss of sea ice, increased sea level rise and longer and more intense heat waves (Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet). The global sea level rose about 17 centimeters in the last century and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in size (Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet). According to the World Bank’s vice president, Rachel Kyte, people don’t have time to lose (Koch). Kyte is really pushing for a major action to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions (a collection of all heat retaining gases) and in her recent report the planet could reach temperatures 4 degrees higher as early as 2060 if governments don’t meet their promises to fight climate change (Koch). Greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities have increased by 5 percent from 1990 to 2012, however, they gone down since 2005 by 10 percent (EPA).…

    One such effect from global warming is the melting of polar ice regions. “Data from NASA 's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers (36 to 60 cubic miles) of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about 152 cubic kilometers (36 cubic miles) of ice between 2002 and 2005” (NASA). The artic is already showing the signs of this because their temperatures are rising faster than the rest of the world. This is causing pieces of ice to thin out and start breaking off. “The Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, the largest single sheet of ice in the Arctic, has been around for 3,000 years.…

    The world is heating up and in order to prevent future disasters, something needs to be done about it now. The negatives of climate change significantly affect the world financially, environmentally, and it can even take lives (Baehr and Harvey). Financially, it will cost hundreds of billions of dollars a year. This is because of the funding of things like asset destruction, forced relocations, droughts, and extinctions. “Already the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that the US Climate Disruption Budget — i.e., stuff related to drought, storms, and growing climate disruptions — was nearly $100 billion.…

    If global warming were a bush, the people and politicians of the world have been beating around it for more than a century. While aware that the earth is slowly heating up, already by .8°C since 1880 when scientists began keeping reliable record, little has been done to control it. But is this scale of temperature control even within human capabilities? Some claim that climate change is merely Earth 's natural agenda and that humans couldn 't control it if we wanted, while others believe it is a direct result of human activity. Whatever the case may be, Earth is warming at a substantial rate and humans must decide if action should be taken, or if Earth 's climate should be left alone to run its course.…

    The first major sign of evidence is the melting of ice caps such as Antarctica. “Antarctica has been losing about 134 billion metric tons of ice per year since 2002”(Macmillan). That is an astonishing number which will harm animal habitats and cause flooding. Also, as a result of the melting ice, and ultimately global warming, “global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century” which has raised a red flag to scientists around the globe. (“Climate Change Evidence: How Do We Know?”).…
