Thermal Pollution: A Global Problem Recently, as a result of the increased energy demand, we've allowed our planet to begin overheating. With the introduction of more and more heated water into our lakes and rivers, and Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere we've managed to raise the temperature of ...

"I would rather dream Vancouver than Hong Kong." With its beautiful weather conditions and natural atmosphere, Vancouver is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Hong Kong, on the other hand, is a booming center for industry and business that suffers from hig...

There has been great discussion and controversy over something that has recently been proposed to Canadians. This something is the Kyoto Accord. The Kyoto Accord is a doctrine that was put together to help reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and therefore reduce the global warming phenomen...

The world's scientific experts agree that industrial and land use activities are having an adverse impact on our climate. Burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gasoline creates global warming pollution that acts as the glass in a greenhouse, reflecting heat back toward the Earth and warming...

During the course of the twentieth century, many environmental scientists have become increasingly confident that the average global temperature has elevated. Although global warming is still a highly controversial theory, the facts have compelled scientists, politicians, and the environmentally-con...

Every year in the world there are many meteorological phenomenons, and these phenomenons destroy whatever they have in their way. I\'m talking about hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and earthquakes which are the main causes of disasters. All of these phenomenons have been increasing and have be...

Global warming is one of the foremost problems facing our planet today. As pollution rises the ozone layer breaks down, and as the temperatures go on a constant rise glaciers and ice-caps melt. Many people have their doubts about the global warming "theory", however proof of this "t...

Global warming is a very dangerous problem in our world today. Responsible, and potentially responsible, for new diseases, health problems, and land loss, this problem deserves more attention than it is currently receiving. Presently, scientists believe that human activities are responsible for...

IntroductionThe environment of planet earth is heavily dependent on a stable climate. The stability of this climate has been continually compromised since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Poor pollution controls and the ever-increasing human industrial activity are causing the greenhouse ...

Global Warming: Society's Warning I feel strongly that global warming is affecting my community because it's effects reach across every town in every country across the entire planet. Global warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse eff...

Global warming is an increase in the earth\'s temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and agricultural processes caused by human, natural, and other gas emissions. This results in an increased emission of greenhouse gases. Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth\'s atmosphere and warms it...

Ever since man came bustling out of the last Ice Age, 11 thousand years ago, armed with sharpened sticks, he has had a nasty habit of destroying the nature, without mentioning the fact of its population growth at non-sustainable rates. The world we know today will perhaps not support life if humans ...

ENGLISH DOCUMENTRY ASSIGNMENT Proposed topic: How the World is changing due to the effects caused by Global Warming The reason for this topic is our increasingly changing climate. Every year our climate continually is changing and becoming warmer. However it's becoming more and more diffic...

The greenhouse effect, as defined in the dictionary, is the effect produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earth\'s atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. Even thoug...

There are many problems concerning the environment. Pollution, destruction of the rainforests, and the consumption of all of our planet\'s natural resources are just a few. None of these issues quite compare to the problem of global warming. Global warming is a problem that affects not only some peo...

What is global warming, and how is it affecting the Earth and its inhabitants? Global Warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth\'s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmos...

It was not only the people of the United States of America but the whole world was awakened when the documentary slide presentation turned film, An Inconvenient Truth by former Vice President Al Gore was shown in theaters on the 24th of May, 2006. The film persuasively contrives the science of glo...

Recently, the carbon tax issue has been gaining increasing attention in Australia due to its function of reducing greenhouse gas as well as its extensive economic impacts on a range of industries, such as tourism and hospitality. The conceptual meaning of the carbon tax is "a levy applied to...

A modern city in the western world depends largely upon the generation and consumption of energy. We use wood and fossil fuels to supply our vast cities with energy but do not consider the environmental implications that are involved. We are depleting the earth of these fuels faster than they will ...

The Kyoto Agreement or Protocol is an agreement produced to lower global warming in a period of years. This agreement was not produced for all countries to sign, only the countries that largely contribute to the problem of global warming. The Kyoto agreement is a small step in what could be a lar...

Our planets climate is predicted to change because human activities are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse gases – primarily carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Although scientists yet haven't agreed on exactly how earth's cli...

Global warming is caused primarily by human activity such as burning fossil fuels, chemicals, and other pollutants that are later released into the earth\'s atmosphere. These gases affect the chemical composition of the atmosphere causing increased warming (EPA, 1999). This warming trend disturbs th...

The article, The Heat Is On discusses the rising problem of global warming. Many scientists and experts on the subject agree that humans are causing this sharp rise in climate. Jerry Mahlman, the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laborato...

It is widely accepted that the earth's climate is warming and that people are making a contribution to this warming. However, the magnitude of human's contribution and its long-term effect are not certain. It is not a secret that we need to secure a cleaner and safer environment fo...
