Essays on Effects Of Global Warming

Global warming refers to the phenomenon due to which the average global temperature rises by a few degrees over a specified period of time, or as the time passes. The concern that this raises is that if the temperature keeps on rising every few years or so, it is not hard to imagine what would be its effects to the global climate and environment over the next few decades. The rise of a few degrees in a few years is not much of an issue; however, if this rise is consistent, that is where the concern of most of ...

Global Warming Phenomenon

The issue of global warming has been a critical problem across the entire world due to the effects associated with this condition. Global warming is caused by the increase in Earth's temperatures due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emitted from burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to provide energy are responsible for trapping heat and preventing it from escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere. Human activities like cutting down trees and burning forests for farming activities has been attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases that are ...

Cloud reflectivity modification

Cloud Reflectivity Modification is also known as cloud whitening, cloud reflectivity modification is an excellent example of a geo-engineering approach to curb and slow down the effects of global warming. The reflectivity of clouds is either increased or decreased to alter their climatic effect. Two forms of cloud whitening have been proposed; marine cloud brightening and cirrus stripping. Cirrus stripping is the thinning or total removal of cirrus clouds from the earth’s atmosphere. Cirrus clouds reflect a high amount of infra-red from the earth’s surface and simultaneously allow a high percentage of sun rays to reach earth. All this ...

A reality that has been always considered a hoax by many as they believe global warming is because of the changing nature of the Universe and how the planet rotates. Global Warming is real because while it could be naturally influenced, the concentrations of the greenhouse effect emmissions causes the rays of the Sun to remain on earth, further influencing climate. The dispute that rages over this issue is unresolved because “experts” have shown “proofs” (for and against) based on scientific data. Supporters of the non-existence of Global Warming, basically offer the arguments as that the climate has changed ...

Global Warming Myth

Global warming is one of the biggest threats facing humanity and it is vital to understand its history and the pieces of evidence that will support the theory (Maslin 17). Global warming has been in existence for more than one hundred years but it was only during the late 1980s that it has been taken seriously as a world issue. The delay in recognizing global warming threat is due to the power of the global average temperature data. The temperature can be determined by taking into account the land-air and sea-surface temperature. It was during 1940s to 1970s that the ...

Introduction

Global warming is a phenomenon that is used to describe the increase in the earth’s temperature (Maslin 9). Global warming as a phenomenon has contributed to climate change. Global warming develops from a situation referred to as the greenhouse effect. According to Maslin (9), energy from the sun that is reflected back to the atmosphere is normally trapped by the presence of greenhouse gases, which then results to the increase in temperature of the earth’s surface. The level of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased rapidly over the years, and this has contributed to increase in global warming.

Global Warming and its Impact on the Environment

Introduction Global warming has been an issue of concern in the world’s environmental circles as there are growing concerns about its increase. It is the gradual rising in temperatures when green house gases that include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and water vapor are trapped within the earth’s atmosphere. This has caused the melting of the icecaps which have led to a rise in sea levels. Other effects of global warming are changing weather patterns which have caused flooding, heat waves and drought. All these effects show that global warming has impacted significantly on the environment. ...

According to Shah, the industrialized countries of the world (US and China) are the greatest contributors of global warming in terms of emission of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. They contribute around 80% of total emissions while less industrialized countries (developing countries) contribute the remaining 20%. However, the effects of global warming are felt in all countries of the world regardless of the country’s percentage of emissions. One of these effects is temperature changes. Accumulation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere interferes with the warming pattern of the earth surface. Due to global warming, ...
