    Global Warming The climate system of Earth responds to changes in external factors that are able to push the climate towards warming or cooling. These factors include changes in atmosphere composition (concentration of greenhouse gases), volcanic eruptions, and solar activity changes. All of these factors combined create current tendency of climate change that is described by the term “global warming”. Global warming is the continuous rise in average temperature of Earth's climate system.…

    we continue to pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse-gasses this could become a likely scenario. Global warming is the exponential rise of climates and temperatures, this eventually raises average temperatures enough to melt ice caps, kill animals, and change habitats. We’ve had the hottest temperatures on record, and they will continue to rise. What is the pollutant causing Earth's temperatures to rise? The truth is that there are multiple “greenhouse gasses” that get trapped into the…

    heat in the atmosphere. These gasses are released into the atmosphere everyday through the burning of fossil fuels. This phenomenon, called the greenhouse effect, is naturally occurring, and is necessary for life on Earth. However, the extreme accumulation of these gasses results in dangerous effects to Earth’s ecosystems and human health. The more greenhouse gasses get burned, the more carbon dioxide there will be in the atmosphere to trap more heat. But how do scientists know the leading cause…

    demands for reducing gas emissions (UNFCCC, 2014). This Protocol was designed to reduce the emissions of gases that contribute to global warming. Given that, there were 41 countries plus the European Union who agreed to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases by 5.2 percent. This period was called the “commitment period”, which ran from 2008 – 2012. With this intention, it was hyped as the most significant environmental treaty ever negotiated…

    - A strong greenhouse effect possibly would warm up the sea triggering the melting of some glaciers which results in a rise in sea levels. - The makeup of natural plant communities will change causing some plants to grow more vigorously and use more water. What could…

    Climate change refers to the increase in global temperatures. Among the contributors to the rise in temperature is from human activity itself. Warm planets leads and cause the temperature changes and also affect the weather in many ways. Land and sea temperatures are one way to measure the effects of climate change. A global warming has the potential to alter patterns of rain and snowfall, causing severe storms and droughts, reduced ice on the lake, glaciers melts, rising sea levels, and changes…

    we live in today. It is causing animals to become extinct, glaciers to melt, abnormal seasonal changes, and more. One factor that plays into climate change is greenhouse gases. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The role of greenhouse gasses is to keep the earth from becoming too cold for life. Greenhouse gases, which keep the earth from being inhabitable, have dangerously increased due to humans causing a global climate change. First of all, for anyone…

    and greenhouse effect are all caused by global warming. The effects of global warming are an increase in sea level, droughts, storms, extinction of animals, loss of coral reef and increase in temperature. Many governments across the globe are trying to increase the awareness of global warming. Humans play a big role in this issue because they are one of the reason that global warming is happening. If people, try to avoid deforestation, burning fossil fuels, industry wastes, and greenhouse effect…

    amount of toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To understand what climate change is, one must first understand what "climate" is. Simply put, climate is the average weather in a region. It involves patterns of precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind, and seasons ("What Is Climate Change?"). The simplest effects of climate change involve the abnormal variations…

    Environmental degradation that occurs through pollution other than greenhouse gas emissions is perhaps the most readily noticeable—and the most easily remedied—impact on people around the world. Whether it’s runoff from a chemical factory polluting a river (and thus, a community’s water supply), plastics washing out to sea and killing aquatic life, airborne particulate matter spewed by oil refineries causing illness in nearby populations, or one firm’s emissions affecting another firm’s ability…
