The Greenhouse Effect

This paper will revolve around the the Greenhouse effect and its effect on all things around it. Basically our environment has all these gases in it that are bad and good. The basic idea is that there are gases in our atmosphere that are unable to leave and it just continue to build indefinitely. The earth 's temperature then starts rising and rising and until it is said that eventually it will cause everything to waste away.. This gradual rise of the Earth 's temperature, often called global warming, is caused by this greenhouse effect is what this paper will be mostly about, including all the little things that are important about it. Despite the greenhouse effect having bad things about it there are also some good as well that can be seen and talked about everywhere.

The Greenhouse effect occurs when the Earth gets energy from the sun when the sun gives the Earth sunlight. The Earth 's surface absorbs some of the sunlight and

In our society if we would just move closer to where we work and go to school and just walked or even carpooled it would bring down a lot of pollution in the air. This of course would then in the end help with all the global warming and the greenhouse gases. A second area would be deforestation, that could help reduce these things would be not cutting down trees. The trees are photosynthesising all the time and when they do that they are bringing down the global warming and greenhouse gases. The third area in which we can help as a society is with our technology use and unplugging things. If we were to actually unplug our electronics and buy energy efficient light bulbs, for example compact fluorescents which have a longer life span and save billions of kilowatts and hour, we make another drastic change in the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted because of

    Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide(CO2) and methane in the atmosphere—which act as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas for energy or deforestation and farming, carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere and expansion of the "greenhouse effect". • What are the effects?…

    The green house effect is a climate phenomenon caused by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere (Shaftel). While necessary to maintain life on earth, this fragile ecological process can be tipped too far in either direction. Sadly, this is exactly what has been happening. Global temperatures have increased to an unprecedented 1.1 degrees since industrialization (Hansen et. La.). This may not sound momentous so to put that into perspective.…

    One effective way that we can cure the effects of global warming, is to cut back on the use of unnecessary energy. By reducing the use of unnecessary energy, we can limit the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere. Another effective way to counteract global warming is to carpool and use renewable fuels. This would be the biggest help towards stopping global warming. Firstly, there wouldn’t be that many emissions going into the atmosphere.…

    It is important for the human population to understand the effects of greenhouse gases. We should care because greenhouse gases not only affects specific environments but also affects Earth in general. Earth is the only planet we know of, as of right now, that has the ability to sustain life. With an increase in human activity, Earth will quickly disintegrate into a polluted landfilled. Animals are effected by the extreme weather and the poor environmental affects.…

    There is a simple bottom line to it all which is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle which will all hand in hand help in the dilemma of Global Warming. Reduce would be the reduction of the amount of energy we use or maybe even water we use which will in turn reduce the use of fossil fuels to provide such amenities. Reuse would refer to the reuse of resources that we currently have such as energy that is renewable or maybe something as simple as the reuse of a plastic container so that making another one for one’s use is eliminated. Recycle would pertain to the recycling of recyclable goods such as plastics, papers, and metals where it is possible to reduce the production of these things which results in the release of GHG’s. If the population of the world adopts the Reduce, Reuse, recycle plan there will be a drop in GHG’s hands down because GHG’s is result of those actions not being…

    Not Hype,” Michael Lemonick discusses greenhouse gasses and their threats on the planet. Lemonick says “that climate is changing largely as a result of greenhouse gas emissions” (Lemonick). Proving greenhouse gas emissions is becoming very easy because it is beginning to hurt our planet more and more. “The Science Behind a Climate Headline” by Rachel Pike shows how hard it is to make a breakthrough in the scientific community. It is apparent that we should believe what is released to the press by scientists because it is reviewed by hundreds of…

    How Human Activities Affect Global Warming Do human activities affect climate change, and as a result create global warming? Some scientists say no, but the majority of scientists say yes. They say human activities such as deforestation, using hydro-carbons, and burning fossil fuels, cause a lot of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere changing the temperature of the climate, causing global warming. So now which group of scientists is correct?…

    There are four types of greenhouse gas: water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. NASA states, “Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. Long-lived gases that remain semi-permanently in the atmosphere and do not respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are described as "forcing" climate change.” The reasons for seeing climate change is the recent human induced expansion in the green house effect. The long-term effect on earth if we keep increasing greenhouse gas and try not to keep a balance can be catastrophic.…

    Global warming and climate change are a result of the lifestyle and actions humans have taken over the past one hundred years and through the industrialization era. The burning of fossil fuels in an industrial setting and through divining cars increases the CO2 levels in the atmosphere and consequently warms the Earth. Cutting down and burning forests also has a large impact on global warming and climate change. Trees intake carbon dioxide and release oxygen, so when forests are cut down, the trees do not consume the carbon dioxide; therefore, there is an excess amount of CO2 in the air. Also, changes in land use directly influence climate change because to change land uses fossil fuels are burned and there is a loss of vegetation increasing CO2 levels.…

    Being energy efficient by using LED bulbs, turning off lights, T.V or computer when not using them. There were several solutions proposed to solve global warming. One of the proposal was to reduce the amount of fossil fuel to create electricity, instead use nuclear power plants to produce electricity since nuclear power emits little to no carbon dioxide. The other proposal was to use electric cars instead of gasoline powered cars since gasoline powered cars emits 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide per…
