Earth’s temperature is increasing. Even a minimum rise in temperature of the earth’s climate has catastrophic effects. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases which trap the sun rays inside the earth’s atmosphere, increasing the temperature on earth. As mentioned in a quote, “Human activities have added greenhouse gases to the atmosphere” (National Academy of Sciences B2) science proves human activities are the main cause of global warming. But, there have also been comments arguing that…

governance, these issues continue to prevail. Thus, humans continue to worsen climate change conditions through our industrialized and material society. Idso et al. argue that warming temperature is natural. Temperature varies greatly throughout history. Earth has been warming for 20,000 years. Also, some warming occurred before greenhouse gases built up in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, later greenhouse gas rises can be attributed to the urban island effect. This is the concept that temperature…
