Effects of Global Warming on the Environment

The reading suggests three ways to save the endangered plant called Torreya Taxihofa, which is an evergreen tree that prevalent in the Florida. However, the professor claims that none of the solutions will give a satisfactory result. Additionally, she adds that the advice written in the article does not solve the problem and unlikely to be successful. Therefore, she contradicts each of author’s reasons. First, the reading avers that the Torreya taxihova should be planted in the northern part of…

close to the equator in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Tropical rainforests are only found in environments that are the same temperature almost every day and are always wet. The reason Tropical rainforests are found in Nigeria is because Nigeria is located close to the equator which provides the perfect environment for a Tropical rainforest to flourish. Because Nigeria is located so close to the equator the temperatures are hotter and it gets more…

refers to the current state of the climate and how the Earth is experiencing a process known as global warming. Global warming is the process by which the planet becomes increasing hotter due to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases that are affecting the environment to such an extreme extent are from human generated sources mostly by the burning of fossil fuels. This warming up of the planet poses a huge threat to all life on Earth. The other term “Flat”…

cannot do much, we can all take part in taking responsibility in improving the environment. Ehrlich’s writing urges people to do things that can slow down global warming effects and prevent more harm to ecosystem by showing readers glacier that melt in fast rate due to increased industrialism by humans. Gawande’s article helps me to understand that pollution not only can damage the earth, but pollutions can have direct effects on humans as well. He’s article of “The Cancer Cluster Myth”, implied…

Over the recent years, we have really seen how extensive consequences of overpopulation can be. Animals go extinct, while people starve and live in unhealthy environments. With a population now at about 7 billion people (in 2011), the UN expects, the population to grow even more with one estimate predicting the population will grow till about 16 billion by 2100. Can this really be true, despite those atrocious costs? According to a video clip, from the BBC about overpopulation, planet earth…

captivating documentary about the hard times the are ahead for the earths population. It was evidently a documentary that was focusing on the negative effects that global warming is having on our world and what it could become in less than a decade. Aside from the overwhelmingly negative effects to our way of life and the environment if we do not make a global effort to fight climate change, there are significant risks to the Australian economy if we do not take steps towards pricing carbon.…

The world’s climate is changing and the effects will have a great impact on our planet’s ecosystem, biodiversity, and people’s lives. To this day, the average air temperature is already 1.5 degrees than they were at the beginning of 20th century, and a rise of 1 degree in just over 30 years makes a big difference on our ozone. Climate change is a general term for a change in climate of a long time, climate having the long-term weather pattern of a geographical area: temperature and precipitation…

community of plants and animals that live in different environments and climates. There are seven different biomes and the one I am focusing on is the mountainous biome. In this biome, lives the the coolest, unique and craziest looking animal called the Saiga Antelopes. In this mountainous biome, it is getting warmer and more humid due to the changing environment, which is changing the plants and animals that live there. Due to this changing environment in this particular biome where the…

Forests are essential to the Earth as they regulate global warming by absorbing carbon (Cesareo and Walker). Unfortunately, trees can also greatly harm the climate when they are cut or burned down. Struck states that, “As forests die, they release carbon dioxide, further raising Earth’s atmospheric temperatures…

responsible for Earth’s sudden decline in sustainability. It is not how many of us there are, it is how we live and how we produce, consume and waste our many resources. One of the biggest issues in todays world has a lot to do with the state of the environment, and the fact that we are the ones…
