Global Warming: The Cause Of Water In The Third World

Improved Essays
Temperatures in 2015 were higher than have ever been recorded. Carbon Dioxide emissions, fossil fuels burning, and deforestation have caused 2015 to be the hottest year ever recorded. The rise in heat has caused water in third world countries to become scarce and wars to occur. Global warming is a colossal issue that affects the environment, the world, and mankind, and if it is not stopped soon, the results on the Earth could be disastrous. Global Warming has put an enormous “carbon footprint” on Earth, although some scientists, such as Nordhaus, says to not worry too much about it because our temperatures have been stable for nearly 10 years. Carbon Dioxide has been released more as we burn fossil fuels and gasses along with clearing land. Most outcomes from …show more content…
There are complications with biofuels that some are trying to implement to save us from global warming, though it fails. Biofuels were designed to absorb a lot of the Carbon Dioxide and it was proven that it would take around 500 years to make any difference. Biofuels take up farmlands that are for food, which have to be watered too often. Water scarcity is an issue around the world that is especially hard for third world countries. In some countries, waterways are becoming scarcer than they are in the United States; in fact they are so scarce that cities and countries are going to war over a waterway for drinking water. Without drinking water a city could sure die soon, just like with the quicker spread of diseases. Diseases, such as Malaria and Dengue Fever are going to spread faster with the heat level rising, which means more of the population dead. Even things as minor as allergies will be increased when more pollen is produced, because Carbon Dioxide levels have made plants increase the levels of pollen

    20,000 years ago, at the height of the last ice age, global temperatures were five degrees colder than now (Shaftel). Or for something a little closer to home, sixteen of the last seventeen years have been the hottest years ever recorded, with each new year setting the new record after the last (Shaftel). In 2014, 1300 independent leading ecological scientists convened for the Fifth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change at the United Nations. They concluded there was a 95% chance that this increase has been the direct result of human activities such as burning fossil fuels (Intergovernmental Panel). The temperature increase has far deeper consequences than just hotter days, though.…

    Climate change is the single most environmental crisis of our time. It is responsible for raging storms, searing heat, ferocious fires, severe drought, and punishing floods. Climate change is posing a threat to our health, our communities, and our economy. According to scientists the main cause of climate change is from the “Greenhouse effect” and certain human activity are changing the natural greenhouse effect of our planet. Burning fossil fuels, clearing of land, lead to the heating up of the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in more evaporation and precipitation, melting of glaciers and increase sea level.…

    Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web.03 Aug.2015.The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases are changing due to human activities. The atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases increased because of human activities, primarily due to the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), deforestation and agricultural practices, since the beginning of the pre industrial era around 1750: carbon dioxide by nearly 30%, methane by more than a factor of two, and nitrous oxide by about 15%. Their concentrations are higher now than at any time during the last 420,000 years, the period for which there are reliable ice core data, and probably significantly longer.…

    Global warming since then generally define as a gradually increasing in temperature, which results in changing global climate permanently. Earth 's climate has been negatively influenced by many direct and indirect ways. Humans can severely damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which originally from global industrialization and modernization.…

    Alejandro Vieyra Mr. Moody English 4 5 December 2016 Climate Change Must Stop Climate change is the changing of weather patterns in regions all around the world. The primary cause of climate change is the appreciable amount of fossil fuel emissions that humans are sending into the atmosphere. These emissions consist of carbon dioxide that ultimately retain more heat in our atmosphere than needed, thus elevating the temperature everywhere around the globe and damaging ecosystems greatly. Many people, including politicians and scientists, believe that climate change is simply a hoax. Although some prefer to believe that climate change is fake and we have nothing to worry about, there are concrete facts that prove these individuals wrong.…

    In the words of President Barack Obama “…Science, accumulated and reviewed over decades, tells us that our planet is changing in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind…those who are already feeling the effects of climate change don’t have time to deny it—they’re busy dealing with it.” Global warming is already beginning to alter life on Earth with rising sea levels, poor air quality and increasingly severe climate changes. To help slow global warming, the government should set standards such as the Clean Power Plan to help limit the amount of carbon dioxide pollution that power plants release into the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, carbon dioxide pollution is the leading factor in global warming.…

    Temperatures rise as the result of greenhouse gases, namely carbon dioxide and water vapor, being released into the atmosphere in large quantities; after release into the atmosphere, these gases trap heat that is reflected off the surface of the earth. This reflective strength develops as more and more greenhouse gases are released. Because human activities are leading causes of carbon dioxide release, the concentration of the gas has been increasing over time. In 1950, carbon dioxide, for the first time in history, composed three hundred parts per million of the atmosphere, skyrocketing to just under four hundred by 2014 (“Climate Change” 1). World population experienced similar a similar trend.…

    The impact of human activity, which involves, but not limited to the burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, the overuse of natural resources in its present time, and the destruction of the ecological earth balance. We keep modifying the earth in different ways; consciously or subconsciously destroying our environment. Environmentalists are constantly warning us of the danger some of our activities have on our environment. The Inter-Government Panel for climate change assesses the risk of high carbon footprint in societies. Its latest reports states that it is extremely likely that humans are the dominant cause of the warming earth for the past 60 years (Gaffney & Pharand-Deschenes, 2013) without huge CO2…

    When was the last time people talked about the environment? Since the beginning of time, many people have not expressed much interest in the environment and how sustainable it actually is. The current attitudes about climate change, environmentalism, and sustainability is that many people are not informed or ignore what is truly going on in our environment. In other cultures, the government does not keep this information from the people and sets laws to help make the environment sustainable. I believe we need to pay more attention to climate change and start to believe what we are being told by scientists and do something to help reverse the consequences we have unleashed.…
