health problems in humans because of air pollution and global warming. As the air gets dirtier, water becomes more contaminated and food more tainted, it causes people to become sicker. Global warming has caused diseases to spread by ticks and mosquitoes, which can cause longer allergy seasons and more wave deaths. Also, the warming can cause more asthma because of heat, allergens, and air pollution (Borenstein). Meanwhile, global warming and air pollution have…
Global warming is the process in which sunlight that is being redirected back into space gets trapped inside of the Earth’s atmosphere due to the abundance of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The more heat that is trapped and absorbed by such gases causes the overall temperature of Earth to rise. It is natural and anthropogenic – human induced – climate changes that are attributed to increased gases in the greenhouse effect, though anthropogenic changes play a larger role in global…
people all over the nation were ready to help the planet. An Inconvenient Truth just reignited the spark of social uproar that had already existed in the public. Suddenly after the premiere, climate change was on the people’s radar again. Sumner backs up this statement by expressing that 195 nations committed to an ambitious pledge to retaliate against climate change and control carbon emissions. In the next decade after the movie caught the public’s attention, scientists have made major…

Consequences of Global Warming: Are They Really Dangerous? When the subject of global warming approaches up in discussion many publics both groan and evade dialog, or put on their fighting belts and arrange for an intense argument. Some people experience embarrassed and apprehensive; some only do not pay attention. Different points of view allow different opinions on the topic. Coming from expert and environmental points of view, scientists discusses the severity of global warming,…
Global warming is a major issue facing the world today. The earth’s physical temperature has gradually began to increase by one degree almost every year. A temperature increase of one degrees does not sound harmful but yet it has caused many natural disasters such as droughts and major storms like floods, tsunamis, and unexpected tornados. Fossil fuels, deforestation, and electrical power plants are some factors that have caused this global crisis. Fossil fuels, deforestation, and electrical…
The burning of fossil fuels adding acidity to oceans and myriad carbon to the atmospheric layer to result in global warming. Elizabeth Kolbert interprets the idea of destruction through global warming in her article “The Forest and the Trees”. “Global warming is mostly seen as a threat to cold-loving species, and there are good reasons for this” (Kolbert 150). Mostly, global warming results in increased temperature which will cause the North and South Pole to melt. All species that rely on the…
where ocean water becomes carbonic acid.This happen because as we create more factories and drive more cars the more we release co2 and the ocean absorbs about 25% of carbon The annual extinction rate is 100 species for every one million and can be up to 10,000 species in the future.This is happening because humans are growing in population and we need to feed them but by making farmland we cut down…
Although Al Gore presents a well-constructed and very compelling argument on the effects of global warming, many have found his claims to be wrong and misinterpreted. For instance, he claims that as the earth tilts toward the sun the earth’s inhabitants absorb carbon dioxide. In the next season, the earth tilts away from sun allowing plants to release carbon dioxide creating an effect of inhaling and exhaling. This pattern shows the levels of carbon dioxide increase and decrease throughout the…
Global warming since then generally define as a gradually increasing in temperature, which results in changing global climate permanently. Earth 's climate has been negatively influenced by many direct and indirect ways. Humans can severely damage the quality of climate. Most people are not aware that actions contribute to the decay of the Earth through time. Much research has been focused on the effects of global warming, as a direct result of the elevation of carbon dioxide and other…
