    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…

    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…
