Understand The Effects Of Greenhouse Gases

Decent Essays
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. This chain effect that will cause more harm to humans in the long

    It's evident that temperature is rising which as a result causes us to experience a lot of abnormal climate changes worldwide. The cause of this increase of temperature is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is constructed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone. The greenhouse effect is when the gasses trap the sunlight, not making them bounce back to space, which creates the atmosphere to warm, thus making Earth hotter. What’s responsible for realising a large amount of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossils fuels.…

    Humans are altering the biosphere in many ways. Some of these ways include air pollution, deforestation, solid waste production,water pollution, and many more. The problem with air pollution comes mainly from burning fossil fuels. We burn fossil fuels through burning the coal, oil, natural gases, and fuel we need to drive cars and have electricity. Water pollution comes mainly from dumping untreated sewage into bodies of water like the ocean, lakes, ponds, rivers, etc.…

    Teddy Willcocks Y1 Civics Ms. Marshall Essay Climate change affects everybody and everything all over the world and is impacting how we live our lives. Around the world, we need to tackle the issues of climate change and alter the way we consume and dispose of resources. The pollution we create from factories and vehicles goes up into our atmosphere and creates a barrier of greenhouse gas. When the sun 's rays come to earth and then radiate back out to space, they can’t go back because of the one way, very thick greenhouse gas barrier. The 20 warmest years ever have happened since 1981 and with 10 of the warmest happening within the past 12 years and this is continuing to get worse as the years go on.…

    Mike Huckabee says of global warming that "whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it" ("Global Warming Quotes"). Huckabee successfully approaches the subject of global warming in way that everyone can understand that we need to start taken better care of our planet. Even though there are many who believe global warming is a natural phenomenon, humans are the most impactful cause and should conserve energy to reduce their carbon footprint. When discussing global warming ,climate change is a big part of the issue. Climate change are the side affects of global warming in…

    The Importance of Life Life is an incredible thing and can be found in countless different shapes, sizes, and forms. But no matter what form life takes, it always has one characteristic that never changes, and that is it’s always important and is always discussed in the highest regards. In two articles from the Coyote Reader, “To Really Save the planet, Stop Going Green by Mike Tidwell”, and “Topic of Cancer” by Christopher Hitchens, the idea that life is important is exemplified and explained through two very different scenarios. By looking at these two articles, one talking about saving the environment and the effects that will happen if it is not saved, and one talking about a man trying to save his life from the devastating effects of…

    Which do you think is worse for the environment, driving a gas guzzling truck or eating beef every day? You might think that the truck is going to be worse, but you cannot see greenhouse gases and judge which is going to produce more gas. Studies are finding that cows, and other livestock, produce greenhouse gases, are having measurable effects to climate change. Although cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) , livestock emit methane (CH4) and CO2, plus contribute to climate change in other ways.…

    Global warming has dramatically increased over the past 60 plus years, to the point where some if not many scientist believe if we as humans do not change our ways we will destroy the planet as it is. Climate change has had a huge impact on our air, landmasses, and water masses, especially those containing ice caps. In this essay I will provide research and evidence on how animal agriculture has an impact on climate change. My essay will contain three sections all revolved around my main point. The first section will be about the impact of animal agriculture on our planet paired with different sources of research.…

    Global warming, more recently referred to as “climate change”, is a big issue debated by scientists today. Although it may not be a huge threat to our generation, climate change certainly has the power to affect future generations if we are not careful about protecting our atmosphere, starting now. Most people are familiar with the “Greenhouse Effect”, meaning when radiation from the sun is directed towards Earth’s surface some is reflected away, while most is absorbed into the greenhouse gases making up our atmosphere. These gases in order of abundance are water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3). Some other gases that only make up a tiny percentage of the atmosphere include Chlorofluorocarbons…

    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.…

    Scientists that study climate change and greenhouse gases conclude that “we now have overwhelming evidence that human emission of greenhouse gases has already begun to change the climate and it will continue to do so unless emissions are halted” (Oppenheimer and Antilla-Hughes). This quote proves that the emissions of greenhouse gases is the utmost factor in climate change. If we do not do anything about climate change now and continue to contribute to this global problem, future generations will be affected extremely negatively. The changes in precipitation that are created by climate change will cause some places in the world to become drier and other places much wetter. This means that the water will not be dispersed evenly anymore, leaving families in the dry without water access or rising water prices that will definitely not be affordable to the poor.…

    The subject of climate change has been hotly debated over the past decade. It is now obvious that the climate is changing and that it is more than likely going to cause problems in the future. The amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere has considerably increased since the Industrial Revolution. As fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and crude oil are burned, carbon dioxide is discharged into the atmosphere where it is trapped. This is called the greenhouse effect and although essential to the survival of all life on Earth, this process has gotten out of hand recently.…

    Some of their climate-related challenges are ice loss, ocean 8 acidification, melting permafrost, rise in sea levels, late winter road storm, reduction in winter road season, increase in erosion, changes in wildlife and plant species diversity and distribution, reduced access to food, and prevalence of diseases. Reduction in winter road season often required food and fuel to be flown into these regions, leading to increased cost of food and fuel. The Northern communities emission of CO2 is also high due to their reliance on diesel oil.

    The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process within our atmosphere, it aids in heating the earths surface and atmosphere. The greenhouse affect is caused by the fact that certain atmospheric gases, gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing long wave radiation emitted from earth’s surface. Without the greenhouse affect our earth would be a chilly -18° C in comparison to the present average temperature of 15°C. As energy passes through the atmosphere a number of different changes take place.…
