Global Citizenship Essay

Global warming or climate change is the gradual increase of Earth’s temperature over time, through the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rising carbon level in the atmosphere, trapping radiation, and heating the Earth. Humans are depending on fossil fuels that release these emissions. Though we have increasingly started depending on renewable resources that don’t release these harmful gases into the atmosphere, we can already see the effects today and if this doesn’t stop now the…

Byproducts of Rising Global Temperature The terms global warming and climate change are often thought of as interchangeable, while they are to some extent, particularly within the context of politics, in science the terms are taken more literally. As discussed earlier, the scientific community is in agreement with regards to the fact that global temperatures are increasing. So calling the phenomenon global warming is not technically incorrect, however, global warming does not encompass the…

single day. However, many humans are still not aware of the harmful effects of global warming. Carbon is emitted into the air daily because of the burning of fossil fuels. Eventually, we will run out of fossil fuels. Then what happens? There are plenty of clean alternatives that put little to no greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. One small switch at a time could save a population of polar bears or even someone’s life. Global warming is causing the earth to change in multiple ways, some too…

When you hear the word permanent, what do you think about? How about if you hear the two words permanent destruction, do you hear a ringing in your ears just from those two words? Do you ask yourself, what are the consequences from permanent destruction? Well, when I think of permanent destruction of forests, I come into realization all that’s at stake. According to Alina Bradford, a Live Science contributor, states “An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which…

human race prevent this from happening? In order to stop global warming scientists must find ideas, and look at what is causing this? Global Warming occurs when a vast quantity of C02 along with other pollutants gets into the atmosphere and absorbs light as well as solar radiation, which has bounced off the surface of the Earth for centuries in the atmosphere (Espanol). In order to try to help in the reduction of the catastrophic effect of Global Warming, we must think of who is the main C02…

Human Effects On Global Warming How do we, humans, affect the topic “global warming?” What is global warming? How does it affect the earth and living organisms? Global warming is a term used for describing a consistent change of heat temperature on our earth. It is also believed to permanently change the earth’s climate, making it warmer and warmer as time moves forward. It affects mainly sea and ice animals, scientists estimate that the arctic sea ice is melting 12% every…

organisms. The same goes for crops such as corn and grain, that is used to feed animals on animal farms. Keep in mind that the natural diet of these animals is not corn or grain. Cattle fed grain have been tested to carry a dangerous strain of e. coli. (Global AgInvesting) A simple change in diet not only effects the health of the animals, but the health of the consumers as well. With the intent to raise as many animals more efficiently they are ruining the health of the animals as well as the…

Deforestation in the Amazon: Impact On Humans Trees are often looked upon as everyday objects that will be around forever. However, at the rate they are being cut down, that may not be the case. The process of clearing trees and transforming a forest into cleared land is called deforestation (Deforestation, n.d). This process is occurring all over the planet, specifically the Amazon Forest, leaving an immeasurably large impact not only on the Earth but human life as well. Trees make up the…

In 2009, the last climate change conference in Copenhagen, countries were not able to find a solution to climate change. Back then climate change was not addressed as seriously as it will be in the next climate change conference. Many countries have realized the potential consequences of climate change and have already began looking for solutions. However, to defeat climate change, it cannot be a few countries trying to look for solutions. It has the be a collective effort by each country in the…

because of deforestation and climate change. The burning of fossil fuels for the past couple decades has caused the earth to become hotter than any other period in history. Man made emissions must be reduced by at least eighty percent by 2020 to avoid a global warming disaster. The main cause of climate change is the emissions of heat trapping gasses…
