Global warming ------
The earth's climate is predicted to change because human actions are altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Global warming is a problem that everybody should be aware and concerned about. It affects you no matter how or where you live, it could cause mass destruction and chaos.
Global warming is the rise in the earth's average temperature resulting from the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Global warming poses serious dangers, like flooding, drought, famine and disease.
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 are a direct association with carbon dioxide levels. In the past the temperature highs and lows have been the same with carbon dioxide level highs and lows, this does not seem to be a mere coincidence.
Carbon dioxide currently accounts for 0.03% of the gas content within the atmosphere. However, it has a adverse impact on the earth's temperature. Thus, minor fluctuations in the percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide will likely have a significant effect on the global temperature. The percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide has risen over the past century at an alarming rate. Industrial civilization is essentially driven by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gasoline all of these are a major factor in carbon dioxide emissions. Even if we change our practices in time to avoid these climatic disturbances, the environment will still have an effected and this is including all the ecological history. The environment may initially shape the range of choices available to a people at a given moment, but then culture reshapes environment in responding to those choices.
There are many possible adverse side effects of global warming on living and nonliving systems. For example, certain types of crops or animal products might not be able to be grown because of changes in the atmosphere. Then maybe they will realize that nature is something that ...
Cannibis Sativa Throughout history marijuana has been used to serve various purposes in many different cultures. The purposes have changed over time to fit in with the current lifestyles. This pattern is also true in American history. The use of marijuana has adapted to the social climate of the time. Marijuana, whose scientific name is cannibi...
are some of the smallest organisms around. All living things consist of cells, and yet they are invisible to the naked eye. How and why are they so small? Well, cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. As life on earth has evolved into organisms of different species and living things, two basic laws of nature have dict...
Jason's case is not unmoral for children of his age. After taking into consideration all of his ailing factors and noted symptoms it is apparent that Jason is suffering from Glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is the term used for several related diseases that damage the Glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in your kidneys. Glomerulonephri...
Cardiac Pacemakers The heart is bestowed with a specialized system that automatically generates rhythmic control via the sinus node, located in the superior lateral wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava. The specialized pacemaker cells dictate control of the rest of the heart through regular electrical impuls...
LA Gear and other shoe companies have been using mercury to make the switch active in their shoe that light up when a person walks. The shoes should return to the company after the user is done with the to be recycled. Since LA never advertises this, people just thrown them away like any other pair of old shoes. Eventually the shoes end up i...
