Essays on Warming

Among the various issues faced by societies globally is the danger associated with the so-called global warming or climate change. Although often used interchangeably, global warming and climate change are two different scenarios that have synergistic relationship. Defined as the overall increase in the global temperature due to excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, global warming differs from climate change which is defined as the abnormally drastic change in climate patterns which have started since the beginning of the 20th century. Despite their differences, global warming and climate change are often seen as two inseparable phenomena. The ...

Abstract

Global warming is a natural phenomenon that has resulted in continued increase in temperatures of land masses, water bodies, and atmosphere on earth. This phenomenon has been proved to occur at a rapid rate and would result in negative effects to humanity, environment, and social systems. There is however scepticism in the cause of global warming. One opinion is that it is human induced while the other is that it is just a consequence of climatic change. The paper analyses two opinions bringing out their similarity and differences. ...

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 ...

Is global climate caused by human activities?

Currently, the question on whether human activities cause global warming has sparked debates from environmental experts. The massive growth of the population has increased growth of consumption, and this poses threats to the global climate. The rise of the earth’s temperature is mainly caused by the gases released by greenhouses, especially carbon dioxide. It is saddening to note that the climatic changes affect the physical and biological systems across the universe. Global warming can only be decreased if the carbon output released by human activities is reduced. The Journal of Climate published a paper by Jara Imbers, Chris ...

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?

Global warming is the recorded and projected rise in the Earth’s average atmospheric and oceanic temperatures. In the year nineteen eighty six Svante Arrhenius, a Nobel Prize laureate from Sweden, brought to the attention of the world the imminent danger of global warming but nobody paid attention to his concerns. Today the topic of global warming has become a universal concern with everyone taking the threats posed by global warming seriously. The same people, whose activities contributed greatly to this problem, are more than willing to help in dealing with this problem. However, some people are skeptics who ...

Introduction

Climate change is one of the global issues facing the world in the 21st century. Today, climate change has ceased to be a scientific curiosity as its effects are now being felt all over the world. Global warming is one of the results of climate change. But what is global warming?. Global warming can be defined as the warming near the earth's surface resulting from the earth's atmosphere trapping the sun's heat causing the earth to get warmer. Studies have shown that the changes are small, so far, but they are projected to speed up and grow with time. ...

Climate change, or as it is more commonly known as global warming, is something that has been predominant in the world since the dawn of the industrial era. The world has been emitting all kinds of gasses that are harming and destroying the ozone layer as we know it. This destruction of the ozone layer causes temperatures to rise in the oceans and results in the melting of ice caps on both the south poles and the north poles. With such critical melting points emitting more water into the oceans, it sees a rapid change of climate throughout ...

ABSTRACT

At no other time in the history of the planet has the impact of human activity affected the natural order of the planet. Humans account for the increase in global warming. In turn, global warming occurring at such a rapid rate leaves scientists scrambling determining how the future looks for all living creatures including humans. Statistics exist today, and predictions exist for tomorrow. However, changes in the climate, chemical effects on the oceans, the air, and changes in the planet's ecosystems continue and the rapid increase in global warming are still unfolding affecting plants, animals, and people as discussed ...

Is anthropogenic climate change (what used to be known as "global warming") a problem that needs immediate and/or long term attention? One of the most common problems each person hears on television is the issue on global warming or climate change. Many often blame global warming for all the severed natural calamities, sweltering weather changes, and the diseases that is now growing around the globe.

Background

Global warming is rise in the average temperatures over the earth’s atmosphere. The sun or solar radiation is the principal source of energy for the earth. Shepardson (23) explains that when solar radiation hits the earth surface some energy is absorbed by the earth while some is reflected back to space. The earth is covered by a natural layer of atmospheric gases which absorb a certain portion of the reflected solar radiation and eventually release it back into space and most of the energy back to the earth. This causes the warming up of the earth’s surface ...

Introduction

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the total temperature of the atmosphere of the earth. The rise in temperature is attributed to the effects of the greenhouse gases, which is caused by an increase in the levels of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon (IV) oxide and other pollutants. Global warming affects the climate system of the earth’s atmosphere by increasing both the terrestrial radiation and the radiation from the sun. The ozone is an essential element in the issue of global warming. The ozone absorbs the heat radiated from the sun and the surface of the earth, leading ...

Global warming is one of the biggest and controversial issues facing the world today. Global warming refers to the change in climate which can be attributed directly or not directly to human activity which alters the composition of the global atmosphere by the earth overheating. Global warming is a problem that needs to be addressed. If global warming is not addressed, there will be an increase in higher temperatures, and with the increase in higher temperatures, the oceans will rise, and this will affect the vegetation. In addition, global warming puts wildlife at risk because if the warming continues, ...

A Call to Action

Throughout its history, the Earth has experienced drastic fluctuations in its average surface temperature, with multiple ice ages and periods of natural global warming. However, in recent years, the rate at which the global temperature has increased is unparalleled and cause for concern. The effects and predicted effects of this major and relatively rapid global warming are varied and extensive. Global warming has likely been and will continue to wreak havoc on sea levels, weather patterns, human health, buildings and communities, agriculture and other components of life on Earth as we know it, making global warming the most important ...

Introduction

Global warming is defined as the high and rising rate in the average level of temperature in the atmosphere of planet earth as well as in large water bodies such as oceans (climate system). The extreme variation in temperature began in the earlier times of the 20th century and it is anticipated to further increase in the coming years. This change in the global mean temperature on the earth’s surface is approximated at 140 F which is equivalent to 0.80 C. Increasing temperatures have greatly contributed to the climate change of various parts of our planet earth. In ...

Introduction

The worldview towards global warming continues to change with time. The situation once thought as mythical, is now a major worldwide concern with factual effects. However, what remains controversial is the difference and similarity of this phenomenon across regions. One side views the economic impact of global warming as varying with differences in geographical locations. On the other end, the opposition suggests that global warming effects remain the same regardless of regional differences. This paper explores the economic effects of global warming and climatic change on countries. It seeks to prove that there exists a difference in this effect ...

Global warming together with climate change that comes with it has produced a heated debate as to whether or not human anthropogenic activity induced climatic shifts pose an actual threat to the Earth and humankind. Industrial activity effects in deforestation, acid rains, water pollution, and greenhouse effect are well-documented, so is their overall impact on ecology and health of species. Once global warming reaches a hazardous point, it is sure to have world ocean level go up while humankind will have to witness its most beautiful marine cities submerge. The reality of the global warming is that people cannot ...

"Humans have prospered tremendously well ...

Nowadays, almost everyone heard at least something about global warming. But, it is not only the change of the climate, but also, the consequences of it. Usually, the term is used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. However, not every scientist believes the global warming is real. But, the data and facts say the planet is warming. Interestingly, the humans knew about global warming even in the late 1800s, but did little to prevent it. So, ...

Industrial Pollution Effects on Global Warming

Introduction Changing climate is also changing our economies, health and communities in almost every part of the world. The fast and rapid industrialization in the past increased the need of thermal power plants and other industries run by fossil fuels. They contributed in atmospheric changes drastically by emitting different pollutants including Co2, CO, SOx and NOx. They have not only threatened the environment by global warming but also give rise to acid rains. These acid rains destroyed forests that are the major sink of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide (Held & Soden, 2006). The variety of chemical emission including refrigerants ...

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 ...

Man and Global Warming

Discussions regarding Global Warming or Climate Change are not complete without the arguments surrounding the causes of this phenomenon. It had been noted that the phenomenon began sometime around the 19th century when the Industrial Revolution took into effect, causing thousands of chemicals to be brought to the atmosphere. These chemicals then took a toll over the ozone layer, opening an opening to allow infrared rays from the sun to enter the globe. While many have accepted that the phenomenon had something to do with the evolution of man’s inventions to make their lives easier, some have raised ...

The argument between the skeptics and the supporters of climate change reduction and global warming continues to argue regarding its impact and possible consequences to the entire planet. Skeptics believe that the talk about global warming should not be given enough attention because it is not true and there have been studies that claim that the globe is actually cooling down. However, the skeptics could not deny that the studies showcasing the impact of global warming ...

Introduction

In the recent past, many scientists have provided evidence on how global warming that result from greenhouse gases may adversely affect the arctic regions (including tundra biome). These scientists argue that the excess abundant of greenhouse gases will cause global warming of the earth's climate in the near future. This global rise in temperature is more likely to damage the Antarctic and Arctic biome that than all other biome. This is because global warming is expected to shorten arctic tundra's winters and melt snow that covers permafrost. As a result of this, there will be flooding in many coastal ...

Climate change is a global issue that has generated a lot of controversy in recent years. More than any other current threat that faces us, it is likely to affect the way economic and environmental policy will be drafted. However, not all people are accepting of the fact that climate change exists, and many of those that deny it are in control of environmental legislation. Climate change has been happening across the globe for eons, and few people disagree that this is true. However, the last hundred to one hundred fifty years has seen a dramatic increase in the ...

Introduction

Global warming refers to the increase in the earth’s surface temperature because of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which originate from burning or combustion of fossil fuels that trap heat which would rather escape from earth (Simon). Global warming an also refer to the projected and observed increase in the earth’s atmosphere and the oceans. From the definition, it follows that global warming resulted from enhancement of the greenhouse effect, primarily caused by pollution. Global warming causes climatic change and it is a concern to policy makers. In 2007, the UN intergovernmental climate change ...

Each year, a person creates their own carbon print from the time he wakes up and to the activities he does before sleeping. These carbon prints would be then multiply to match the entire population of the globe, and it doubles with the amount of carbon emissions from all nations. Adding these numbers, one could easily estimate that it is the same amount of pollution that causes the problem of global warming today. Many experts have argued as to what actually induced global warming, from the arguments it is a natural occurrence, to the fact that it is influenced ...

Introduction

Discourse on global warming has always centered on two main questions. Is global warming a product that is consequential of human action? If so, can the human race ignite action towards the stop of global warming? Since the discourse started there is no consensus on the right answers to the two questions. Rather, the discourse has escalated to blame game that pits the developed world against the developing nations with the latter pointing accusing fingers to the former. It should be appreciated that the blame perhaps suffice as an indication that global warming is a consequence of human activity ...

Arguably, the world has changed tremendously, especially on issues related to environment. One of the challenging issues in the world today is considered to be global warming. As a matter of fact, global warming affects all aspects of human development, either indirectly or directly. Global warming refers to the state in which the temperatures of the earth atmosphere and ocean increase. The occurrence has been witnessed since late nineteenth century, and it is expected to continue in the future. Undeniably, sustainable development will not be achieved in the planet earth if global warming effects are not observed. Basically the ...

Introduction

The reason for global warming and the resulting change is greenhouse gases, which make the planet habitable. According to Wang and Oppenheimer (6), it is human activities, especially the fossil fuel burning and deforestation that have contributed heavily to the increase in GHGs and the subsequent warming trends. This has created a need to reduce these emissions with various governments making efforts. There has been an increase in adoption of renewable forms of energy, and automobile companies are producing energy-friendly cars such as electrics and hybrids to ensure that GHG emissions are reduced. However, global warming has not been ...

Introduction

Global warming is a phenomenon that alters the surface temperature on earth. Consequently, the change in surface temperate results in the changes in climate patterns. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Due to several factors and conditions in the atmosphere, these gases are blocked from escaping into space. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the absorption of solar radiation to the surface of the earth. Both mechanisms lead to the warming of the atmosphere. Therefore, trapped gas combined with solar radiation in the atmosphere cause the warming of the earth’s surface. Examples of greenhouse gases that get ...

Abstract There has been an increasing concern among the scientific and geographical communities that the changes currently occurring in the climate are induced by humans. Scientists are also concerned about the ability of humans and other species to adapt to these changes. Indeed, there is an on-going debate about whether humans and other species should adapt to the change or mitigate it. With rapidly rising temperatures around the globe, the chances of sustainability are decreasing. Climate changes as a result of natural forces such as the earth’s rotation around the sun, and changes in the intensity of radiation ...

Over the past few decades, a global awakening has been boiling up regarding the environmental issues of climate change that is posing a great threat in our planet. Experts agree that one of the major causes of global warming is the excessive greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide which traps heat causing the rise on temperature of the whole planet. The consequences of global warming were believed to be created by human activities where these greenhouse emissions come from burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil that we primarily use as sources of ...

Indeed, the phenomenon has some very alarming effects on agriculture and on animals, and it has even more frightening effects on the human population. The media and politicians are often heard debating over the fact about global warming. However, even though there is widespread disagreement about the causes, but the reality of the global and measurable effects of global warming cannot be denied. The fact of the matter is that, it is the human race is the source of the ...

I. Identification of Global Social Issue Global warming has been a controversial issue in international realm. Schweizer writes that “Global warming refers to the observed increase in the earth’s average surface temperature of ~1.0 C over the past 100 years” (Schweizer, 2005, p.75). Many scientists claim that the temperatures of the earth surface are on an up rise arguing that this might be detrimental in future. Some of the ways that scientists have been able to justify their claim is by arguing that the arctic ice caps have witnessed a large melt down in the recent past (Rockwell, ...

Many scientists have concluded that the world is undergoing detrimental climate changes through global warming. Many scientists from across the globe are working in different countries in order to understand all the aspects of the global warming. From satellite images, one can see that sea level is rising, weather patterns are changing and even ice is meting at an alarming rate. The average temperature of the atmosphere that surrounds the Earth and oceans has been increasing steadily ever since the late 19th century (Lynas 30). The trend has been increasing over the years and right now, every country is ...

Abstract

Global warming remains by far the biggest challenge humans have faced in this century. It affects the entire planet although not the entire plane is to be blamed for it. The emission of greenhouse gases and particularly carbon dioxide has been at all-time peak in this century especially the last half of the century. Studies show that the current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about 385 ppm, up from 285 ppm prior to industrialization. This has sparked an unstoppable change in the climate patterns in the world. The changes are mostly with regard to the ...

Global warming has become one of the most controversial issues in the media today. While most of the Western world countries have generally accepted the premise that man's chemical emissions in the atmosphere can and are affected by the world’s climate patterns, in the United States, the issue has become so politicized with many republicans challenging the science behind the theory. Global warming is a greenhouse effect whereby gases are trapped on the earth’s surface causing it to heat up (Maslin 14). It is based on the worldwide temperature records that have been maintained by human beings ...

One can compare the Earth to a human being: a being that could grow old, withstand any challenges of being placed in mortal peril and could keep up with the changes of time. However, while the Earth cannot easily succumb to mortal peril like humans, the current threat it is facing may very well be the cause of its death. The threat of global warming or climate change has constantly dominated the scientific community and the public for the past few years since the discovery that the massive carbon emissions coming from man is slowly degrading the ozone layer, ...

Global warming is a problem that is actively discussed nowadays. Very often new hypotheses appear about its impact on the Earth and human beings. At first, we need to classify the information available, to create a clear understanding of global warming effect on our planet. Global warming is the increase in the medium annual temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, because of much variety of reasons (increasing the concentration of gases in the Earth's atmosphere, solar variability or volcanic activity, etc.) (Haugen 14). Sometimes we use definition "greenhouse effect", but there is some differences between this two concepts. ...

In the book, Urban Sprawl, Global warming, and the Empire of Capital, Gonzalez places all the faults on the Government and American business leaders. He says that they are responsible for the global climate change. He opposed all the efforts used in the account of global warming problem.

The core researchers expounded and affirmed that global climatic change was due to economic transition and development. They also argued that it was due to enter border development of goods and services. Others argued the global climatic ...

Global warming has recently been gaining the spotlight as the debate about the issue grows more heated. The trouble however is that scientists and researchers aren’t discussing the causes, effects and solutions pertaining to the problem rather, they are engaged in the discussion of whether or not the problem poses real threat or if it is even a legitimate claim to begin with. It wasn’t long after the tweet that the president Barack Obama posted on May 16 that; “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: climate change is real, man-made and dangerous” that the discussions regarding the reality ...

Global Warming Introduction Global warming is the increase in the average global temperatures that is caused by buildup of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the common greenhouse gas; however others like methane, nitrogen oxides are quantitatively measured on the basis of carbon dioxide equivalents. Air pollution is the main source of the greenhouse gases, especially from industrial settings. Therefore, human activities are the primary causes of global warming through industrial growth, transportation, continued reliance on fossil fuels and removal of carbon sinks. Report by Weart indicated that, the atmospheric temperatures will increase by approximately 1.8-4.0 degrees Celsius by ...

The anthropogenic climate change refers to actions produced by human activity that generate greenhouse gases, which contribute to the global warming (McMichael, 2003). Studies indicate that post-industrial rise in greenhouse gases is not an outcome of natural processes, but they are the result of human activity (“Anthropogenic Climate Change”). Human actions that are causing the current global warming issues were generated decades, even centuries ago and the current actions destined to mitigate the global warming by properly managing the human activities that generate greenhouse gas might start to show results in several decades or centuries (McMichael, 2003). On the ...
