GLOBAL WARMING, A FALLACY IN THE MAKING For the last 20 years or so the subject of global warming has spawned heated debate among the world's brightest minds. Its causes and effects, if either actually exists, have been hotly debated. The most popular hypothesis is called the greenhouse effect with the agreed upon cause being green house gasses. These gasses are all naturally occurring and include water vapor, methane, oxygen, and the now infamous carbon

Global Warming
Affects of Global Warming on Human Health Throughout the world, the presence of particular diseases and other threats to human health depend largely on the local climate. Extreme variation in temperature can directly, and indirectly, cause the loss of human life. The threat of a gradual increase in temperature could be catastrophic to the world, as we know it. As recently as 1999, a heat wave killed more than 250 people in Chicago alone (Union

Global Warming
Two issues that worry many geologists are global warming and the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. What does the greenhouse effect have to do with global warming? When humans release gases into the air, the greenhouse effect will alter the temperature of the earth. More gases in the atmosphere means the earth will start to get warmer, and the result is

It is ironic that fifty two years before hosting the 1997 United Nations Conference on Climate Change, the city of Kyoto had barely missed being destroyed. It was one of four cities considered as primary targets by President Harry Truman's secretary of war, Henry L. Stimson. The others were Kokura, Hiroshima, and Niigata. Gale E.

Global Warming In the past five years the subject on Global Warming has become as rooted in our public consciousness as Madonna or microwave cooking. Perhaps all the attention is well deserved; Global Warming may be the single largest threat to our planet. For many decades human factories and cars have spewed billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming. The average temperature

Global Warming
Global warming -- a gradual increase in planet-wide temperatures -- is becoming more well documented and seems to be accepted by many scientists and people now as fact. Generally, this warming is attributed to the increase of green-house gases in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Some solar scientists are considering whether some part of global warming may be caused, by a periodic but small increase in the Sun's energy output. An increase of just 0.2% in

The Global Warming phenomenon is considered by many a silent killer given that it stimulates the rising of temperatures, a greater moisture and higher frequency of rainfalls that will promote the further propagation of vector-borne diseases at higher elevations. Global warming accelerates the development of the mosquito and its biting activities as the air becomes warmer. Consequently, its transmission will be increased and its population will replicate at a faster velocity. For the reason that

Global Warming
Global warming, the gradual rise of the Earth's surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect. Global warming may be responsible for the changes in global climate patterns. The cause of Global warming is the increased air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Cola-burning power plants are the largest U.S. source of carbon dioxide pollution, they

Global Warming
Global Warming What is global warming, and how is it affecting the Earth and it's inhabitants? Global Warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth's surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise, and creating many problems that will begin

Global Warming
Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere as a result of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a warming mechanism that helps maintain a constant temperature on the planet through the use of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases allow light from the sun to pass through them to the earth (sunlight has short wavelengths); however, as the earth releases long-waved heat, the gases absorb nearly 90% of it,

Environmental Effects Of Global Warming
The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse

Global Warming
Global Warming Global warming is an increase in the earth's temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. (Caroline Quatman). Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and warms its surface; while longwave infrared radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed, and then re-emitted by trace gases.

Global Warming
God created us and we created pollution. Pollution is a by-product of our everyday life, especially the activities involved with economic aspects. Every economic activity in human society always tends to produce a certain quantity of pollution. The fact that economic activities inevitably lead to pollution will not be a problem by itself, since the great nature possesses certain capability of self-regulation and self-purification. However, pollution occurring beyond the limit of nature cannot be controlled

Global Warming Global Warming is the rising of the Earth's surface temperature due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide exists in the atmosphere, the warmer than it would be. Today, carbon dioxide not only comes from the natural but also from combustion of coal, oil, gas, and other fossil fuels. Scientists say global temperatures during first 3 months of 2002 were higher than at any time in the past 1,000 years.

Global Warming I think that the cause of global warming becoming increasingly evident on planet Earth is because of the climate change related to greenhouse gas emissions in the last 200+ years. The climate is getting warmer and warmer every day. NASA's surface temperature analysis indicates that the average temperature of Earth's surface has changed about 1.2 to 1.4oF since 1900.
