comfort zone. Humans do whatever changes they want to in order to meet their needs. Global warming in particular are one of these changes which is caused by the burning of fossils fuels that adds acidity to oceans and infinite carbon in the atmosphere. Author, Elizabeth Kolbert portrays the notion of destruction through global warming in chapter eight, “The Forest and the Trees,” of her book, The Sixth Extinction. Kolbert argues, “In the popular imagination, global warming is mostly seen as a…
excellent work in both economics and climate change. Nordhaus is a distinguished economist and professor at Yale University who has committed more than thirty years to researching and answering the big questions in climate-change economics. In his most recent book, The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming World, Nordhaus aims to balance the arguments for and against climate change not only by discussing the science behind global warming, but also by providing the link…
How much more evidence do skeptical people need, to believe that global warming is a real problem and needs to be solved immediately? Global warming is one the serious issues confronting humans right now. Global warming has occurred due to carbon dioxide and other gases getting stuck near the earth’s atmosphere, creating a thick blanket trapping greenhouse gases and the sun’s heat, thus making the planet warmer. It is changing our economy, health and the way we live in different ways. Many…
Global warming and climate change can both refers to the observed centuryscale risses in the average temperature of the Earths climate system and its related effects, although climate changeing can also refers to any historical change in climate. Multiples lines of scientific evidences shows that the climate system is warming up . More than 91% of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1975 has gone into ocean warming; the remainder has melted the ice, and warmed the…
1. What is the status quo thinking about this subject? Most experts and researchers who are interested in global warming are working very hard to advertise this overwhelming issue. Although, global warming are being life threatening some people is careless regarding this consequential issue. These people think that it will not affect us now and for the new generation, they will come up with inventive ideas that will solve or at least minimize carbon dioxide. On the other hand, there are a lot…

Initially I was confused as to why my friends and family were reacting so dramatically to this news, but the more I read about the relevance of the Paris Climate Agreement, the more I began to feel the same way. From the first science classes I took in…
Climate change and global warming have always been a concern to humanity. Both have destroy homes and buildings, wasted billions of cash, and it had also altered people’s lifestyles in various ways. Global warming is the cause of the rising temperatures of the world, and that is where climate change takes place. Although awareness towards these continual changes have increased from place to place, the fact that it continues to grow means that the action against it is just not enough. Some of…
Is global warming a belief or a real danger? "Make no mistake: without concerted action, the very future of our planet is in peril," says Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund. Our Planet Earth is facing a huge threat by global warming due to intensified use of fossil fuels and an increase rate of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Many scientists believe that climate change is occurring and they provide some scientific evidence to prove this, yet some…
Global Warming is the increase of earth’s average surface temperature and its oceans due to greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. These greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, this is an appositive phrase – it acts as a noun to specify green house gasses, and it must be set apart with commas. absorb heat that would otherwise bounce off the Earth’s surface. In the past two decades, when your sentence starts with a prepositional phrase that is more than four words,…
