Global Climate Change
Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil, coal and gas, with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth's atmosphere and prevents it from being sent

Global Climate Change and Its Effects
Global Climate Change and its Effects A simple way to describe Global warming would be to say that it refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature and this increase may cause changes in climate. As the Earth warms up it may lead to significant rise in sea levels, chaotic weather patterns, and catastrophic droughts. When we talk about the issue of climate change, what we are really concerned about is the global warming

One atmospheric phenomenon that enables the Earth to sustain life is known as the “greenhouse effect.” However, vital this effect is for human life, it may also be what eventually causes the next ice age, bringing all life to an end. About half of all solar radiation reaches the earth’s surface. The other half, is either returned back in the form of heat, or is used for such things as photosynthesis, changed to heat

Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light, or heat, escapes the earth's atmosphere. Thus, the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earth's history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150,000 years that suggest a direct association with carbon dioxide levels. In the past the temperature highs and lows have been in tandem with carbon

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 evacuation of greenhouse gases. “Short-wave solar radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and warms its surface while long-wave infrared radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed, and then re-emitted by trace gases.” (2) Climate changes occur in our earth's atmosphere due to a buildup of
