This rises the levels of Carbon Monoxide in the air which has the ability to trap heat. So, eventually as CO2 rises so does the temperature of the Earth. ... This excess methane gas carries more water vapor into the atmosphere and condenses at much higher altitudes than the sun will strike. ... This means not only distance but also time. ... Inappropriate land use is also a big issue. ...
Global warming is the warming near the earth's surface that results when the earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat. ... As the earth gets warmer, there will be a rise in the average water level of the oceans. Two factors will cause this rise: thermal expansion and melting polar ice caps. ... It will also reduce the air pollution and improve the quality of the air we breathe. ... Cost is also a problem. ...

Gasses have begun to trap heat within our atmosphere and as a result have caused the global temperature to rise. ... The petition also states that, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." ... Lagging behind between 200 to 800 years, carbon dioxide's trend line trails precisely behind temperatures in almost every graph, proving that temperature rises before carbon d...
If temperature rise pass this tipping point, this cannot be reversed and could soar by 60C in no time (IPPC, 2007). ... As global temperature continue to increase in the climatic system, other tipping elements are also triggered or pushed further to their tipping points some of these elements are mentioned below. ... As ice sheets melt at their edges, their albedo is reduced, but they can also get thinner. ... Greenland ice sheets can contribute almost 16.5-53.8cm to global sea level rise just this century alone depending on the rate of its decay (Pfeffer et al., 2008). ... Ocean water is ...
