Scientists predict that if we continue putting the same amount of gas into the atmosphere by the year 2030 the temperature will be rising as much as 0.5 degrees C (0.9 degrees F ) or more per decade. ... If the temperatures do rise as predicted several things could happen. ...
By the year 2,100 EPA predicts that carbon dioxide will increase from 30 to 150 percent. ... Doom Sayers predicts that the increasing of concentrated gases are likely to accelerate the rate of climate change.Resulting in polar ice caps melting which could cause the sea level to rise by a foot and a swampy coastal communities. ...
Its effects are predicted to be catastrophic: dramatic climate changes, leading to the melting of the polar ice caps and great rises in sea level. ... The warming of 2 to 5 degrees Celsius that scientists predict will occur by the middle of the next century is an increase in the average global temperature. Almost all climate models predict that warming will be greater at higher latitudes (nearer the poles) than at the equator. ... This will be especially true in summer time, when temperatures are predicted to soar to all new highs. ... It is predicted that thermal expansion alone will cause an...
More Than Just Hot Air In recent years, scientists have concluded that our planet is in a stage of global warming. While many people have heard of global warming, few realize how it may affect our planet. More importantly, they don't know what they can do to prevent it. I am going to assess the c...
The best estimates by the CSIRO predict annual warming over Australia by 2030 to be ~1 °C. ... Warming happening More Quickly Than Predicted While those denying climate change are reducing in number and there appears to be more effort to try and tackle the problem, cli...
Gas Cars? We use them everyday in America, yet it help kill the environment every time. They cause others to inhale potentially dangerous chemicals in the air. It's breaking down the ozone layer, causing global warming to occur. Gas cars destroy the planet every time we start them. We need an alt...
In his essay "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math," Bill McKibben applies many examples and data points to back his stand that global warming is most important. He brings in a few numbers like 2 degrees celsius, 565 gigatons, and 2,795 gigatons. He defined for many readers the simple and important ...
The report, "Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions," explicitly asks if the occurrence of global climate change is actually an issue worth addressing. The consensus is that "most of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse...
Global warming is a major concern to our environment. We should be doing more to help the environment instead of using things that are bad for it like fossil fuels and greenhouse gases. Some of the signs of global warming are higher temperatures, melting glaciers, more droughts, and rising sea leve...
Explain the Greenhouse Effect. The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature of the Earth because certain gases in the atmosphere such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, trap energy from the sun. These greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the E...
Global Warming There is a serious problem in every community today that many people do not pay much attention to or do not even realize it is much of a problem. In my opinion it is just as serious as any war or issue on drugs and violence. I say this because if we do not act now our future...
Global warming is the warming near the earth's surface that results when the earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat. The earth is getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it...

Over the past several years, temperatures around the world kept rising. Sometimes it's unbearable for people on this planet. "The temperature during an eight-day heat wave in Chicago in July 1995 hovered around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. High levels of humidity made the air feel even hotter, creatin...
