Atmosphere

The Liberal Hoax Climate Change: A long-term change in the Earth’s climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. It is largely due to the increasing amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Ever since the industrial revolution, it has been a rapidly growing issue. More recently, however, certain groups of people have begun to deny this scientifically proven phenomenon. In fact, in 2015, Donald Trump, who now is the President of the United States of…

Until recently it was believed that the earth had only experienced 4 to 5 glacial periods, all of which occurred in the past 2 million years. (Louis Agassiz, 1837) However, globally conducted research has revealed that countless glacial advances have appeared over 200 million years ago, thus broadening our insight of the history of the earth system by 100 times. These astonishing advances have witnessed the introduction of a new sub-discipline—palaeoclimatology, which specialises in the study of…

Canipe 1 Global Myth "Global Warming refers to a long-term increase in the Earth's surface temperature that results in large scale changes in global climate" (Freedman and Duncan 1). Global Warming is a highly debated topic. Many people believe it is a real danger due to the studies from NASA, which do not go along with other scientist's studies. Other studies show global temperatures have been declining every year since 1998. "During the 20th century, the earth warmed 0.6 degrees Celsius,…

Flags, or Hershey Park. When I’m nestled in the car, I always make sure to double check with the attendant that I’m securely in place. Although excitement is typical when one is about to race upward on a momentous, metal mountain towards the clear atmosphere where the Sun looks down upon the Earth, I am filled with a feeling of anticipation and dread. I’ve been known to pray for my safety, as well as that of others before, during, and after the ride. Whenever I read about a story in the news…

Earth is our home, not only to us humans but to many different species of animals and living plantalia. Humans don 't understand the danger the planet is in, information is available for anyone who cares. Global warming has been a topic of questions over the past years, people are somewhat aware of the situations but are not taking the first step to resolve the issue. Some might argue that global warming is a joke, that this planet has enough resources to provide for billions of humans in this…

Characterizing the IR Reflecting Properties of Pigments for Cool Roofs Introduction The sun energy reaches earth as UV visible and Infra-red radiation. UV radiation is an invisible part of electromagnetic spectrum. Only 5 % UV from sun reached the surface is play the major role to the degradation of coating .Visible light wave (295-400 nm) seen by human eyes. Around 50% of the suns energy occurs in this region which gives the perception of colour.45 % of total solar energy is in IR region…

With the use of aerosols increasing globally the number of aerosol particles in the atmosphere increase, these reflect the sun’s energy preventing it reaching the Earth’s surface (How does the sun affect our climate?). Therefore, the aerosols decrease the effect of the sun’s increasing temperature on climate change. The energy reaching the…

The long, peculiar note of a bugle sounded, borne to us on the raw morning air to interrupt our conversation. It rose with a low, clear, warble, and seemed to float in the gray sky like the note of a lark. As it died away, I perceived that the atmosphere had changed; despite the equilibrium established by the storm, it was dynamic. The men thrust forward their heads, expanded their eyes and clenched their teeth. They breathed arduously, as though strangled by yanking at the leash. “Hoof it.” The…

(google definition, 2015) Global warming is the increase of the Earth’s surface temperature caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. The Earth is getting warmer because people are adding heat, trapping gases to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, which including the coal, oil, and natural gases. Scientists have predicted that in the future, climate change would cause loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise, and more extreme…

of global warming on Africa This is an essay regulated around a case study from Via Afrika Grade 10 geography from pages 106-115. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. Africa contributes the least to global warming , we are only responsible for 4% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions however we are the…
