Human Contributions to Global Warming Essay

What has the world come to? In 2393, life is completely different, and Earth is barely able to sustain the lives it protects. In “The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View From the Future”, written by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, the audience is taken on a literary journey to the end of the world. The figurative language and imaginative scenes that fill the imagination help support the evidence of the decaying Earth. The Collapse of Western Civilization essentially talks about the end…

Global Warming myth or fact? Global warming has probably been one of the most controversial subjects in all of the scientific community for many years. Arguments range from how the climate change is affecting the way nature works, how it is leading to extreme climate changes that lead to disasters, to how it is just a periodical climate change in the world that has no more meaning that it being natural. Some say that the earth is able to handle all the pollution and CO2 that is produce without…

some of the most dangerous movements. While activists are focused on industrialization (examples: chaining themselves to trees, sabotaging bulldozers, and in insane measures choosing not to procreate, believing the Earth would be better off without humans), they are blind to the damage caused by animal agriculture, also known as the agribusiness. While facing the majority of the world whose action are expanding agribusiness, the collective corporation that supplies meat are capable of corrupting…

the warmest Christmas Eve to date. Climate change can be characterized by long term changes in weather conditions, including shifts in temperature, precipitation and extreme weather events. Human induced climate change was discovered after the industrial revolution. This is when scientists noticed the warming of the atmosphere, through the greenhouse effect. Clear evidence of the costs of climate change can be found in increased temperatures, rising sea levels, melting Arctic ice, diminishing…

Global warming: A threat to life Planet earth is facing a serious crisis in the form of global warming. Citizens of earth no matter wherever they are living, all are equally affected. Global warming is showing its “Ecosigns” (Achenback and Heidi 1) such as changing monsoon pattern, expanding arid regions, fluctuating seasons, decreasing fresh water, and rising sea levels. The world is often divided about the reasons of global warming, as some believes that it is a publicity stunt (Horgan),…

Climate change is a global-scale atmospheric externality. It is an issue that must be understood and addressed globally. Environmental trends based on scientific and observed studies have shown an increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, an increase of the Earth’s surface and ocean temperature causing a decline in sea ice, and more prevalent extreme weather patterns- all due to human influence. However, trying to understand each of these trends separately will not fully explain the causes…

nitrous oxide [1]. This gas is emitted mostly by energy plants, transportation vehicles and deforestation. In a huge amount, it acts like a thermal blanket for the Earth conserving the heat which leads to important environmental problems such as global warming [2]. These gases are generated by all nations and some nations are bigger polluters than others. As the problem was arising, the need to create an agreement to solve this problem arose. The Kyoto protocol is the first protocol that aimed…

way humans, animals, and plants live and function. Due to global warming, temperatures on Earth are rising and it’s affecting life on land and in the ocean. During the 18th century of the Industrial Revolution, there was an increase in factories to help with manufacturing. Even though this improved the production of manufactured goods, the factories burned fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas, which released a chemical known as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In today’s society, humans…

worldwide since 2000 has considerably reduced the probability of limiting warming to 2°C (Jordan, 2013). It appears that there is a lack of urgency worldwide to mitigate…
