    Humans and industrialization have a direct impact on global warming with the increased production of greenhouse gases. What is global warming? In short, it is the raise in temperature of Earth’s surface, caused by the gases carbon dioxide, methane, dinitrogen and chlorofluorocarbons. For contrast, oxygen and nitrogen are gases that will not trap heat and are therefore not greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. You see, the sun provides energy in the form of solar…

    warming is carbon fee and dividend. carbon tax is very effective solution of climate change. Carbon fees and dividend decreases greenhouse gas emissions by 52% lower. Raising temperature causes considerable threats to human health, the natural environment, the economy, national security, and an undesirable risk of shattering effects to human civilization. Carbon taxes on greenhouse emissions can stimulate investment in another possibility of energy technologies. It can encourage businesses to…

    CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the Earths atmosphere. Using arguments from scientific, political and even that of multimedia perspectives to highlight relative opinions on the topic of global warming. Global Warming is assumed by leading experts in climate science to be caused by “Greenhouse Effect”. The Greenhouse effect is when particular gases such as water vapour (H20) a gas that acts as a feedback to the climate, it increases as the Earth warms. Nitrous Oxide(N2O) a gas that can be…

    weather conditions, including shifts in temperature, precipitation and extreme weather events. Human induced climate change was discovered after the industrial revolution. This is when scientists noticed the warming of the atmosphere, through the greenhouse effect. Clear evidence of the costs of climate change can be found in increased temperatures, rising sea levels, melting Arctic ice, diminishing wildlife, changing landscape and heat related illnesses. Canada 's climate change efforts to date…

    severe effects on human, plant and animal life. The primary cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere—primarily carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide makes up 70% of the total greenhouse gases emitted. The ability of these gases to trap heat is what causes the greenhouse effect. Since the industrial revolution began in 1750, CO2 levels have risen by more than 30% and methane levels have risen more than 140%.…
