Global Warming Global warming is a phrase that has been used in recent history that describes Earth’s surface temperature being warmed. Throughout history, there has been three global warming’s. They occurred in 1850; from about 1860-1880, 1915-1945, and 1975-1978 (see graph). The current warming was thought to have been generated by the discharge by man of carbon dioxide. All three of these periods of warming were divided into a period of universal cooling. The warming/cooling cycles, and their

new Alberta carbon tax, and some people disagree with this, while others think it’s a good idea. To start, we have to answer an important question. What is global warming, and why is it happening? Global warming, or climate change, is the Earth’s atmosphere warming due to the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases.

Global warming, Ice Core samples, Dendrochronology and Peat Bogs. Global warming is the rise of average temperature in the earth’s atmosphere since the late 19th century. Since the beginning of the early 20th century, the earths mean surface temperature had increased by around 0.8 degrees. Warming of the climate system had become more obvious and scientists are 90% sure that the main cause of the increase in temperature in due to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human

society in the fiction section; but with the increase of global warming and pollution it could very well be part of an obituary of our planet. Global warming is when the Earth’s temperature increases when Greenhouse gases are released into the Earth’s atmosphere. This is a grave consequence due to an increase in our atmosphere’s Carbon Dioxide levels with varying causes such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and methane production from agriculture. Today we look at the various cataclysms that

is becoming closer. There are a number of things that make Mars hostile, first of all, the temperature of Mars can reach as high as 20 Degrees Celsius, but as low as -153 Degrees. Secondly, the atmosphere of Mars is mostly made of Carbon Dioxide at 95.32 %, this is completely different to Earth’s Atmosphere as it mainly consists of Nitrogen at 78% and 21% Oxygen, meaning we would not be able to breathe, and we would suffocate almost instantly. Thirdly, the soil is toxic due to the content of perchlorate

light to manufacture its own food to grow. Also humans have been altering the composition of the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas. The burning of fossil fuels produces about 21.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year into the atmosphere but only an estimated half of the amount produce can be absorbed by plants leaving the rest to accumulate into the atmosphere creating what is called the greenhouse effect. This is so because the

monitor those changes the best we can in order to understand any damage that is being done. We use satellites and specialized instruments to monitor the changes in our atmosphere. The levels of pollution that humans are responsible for has to be monitored so that any danger can be avoided. We have to study the components of the atmosphere to understand what is harmful and what is not.   Human Activity Impact on NO2 and CO Comparison OMI, or Ozone Monitoring Instrument, is an instrument that records

moons, is significantly larger that its counterpart, Deimos, with roughly 6 times the mass. Both moons have a near circular orbit around Mars' equator, however Phobos' orbit is much closer to the surface - so close it actually interacts with Mars's atmosphere. Due to this interaction Phobos is in a decaying orbit that will likely lead to a collision with its owner in the relatively near future. It is still unclear as to the origins of Phobos and Deimos, the most popular theories are listed below with

carbon monoxide that pollutes our environment. Every day fuel is burnt by cars, airplanes, large factories and manufacturing plants. This is causing a very large and deadly problem for our environment. When gases used on earth are released into the atmosphere they act as a blanket and trap radiation that is then redirected to earth. This concept is called the Greenhouse Effect. In this essay I will discuss the greenhouse gasses and their role in global warming. With all the talk about the prospects

Don’t miss so many of them” (“Jo Walton”). Every evening there are those who enjoy the sight of the sun descending below the horizon as an exquisite view, however, there is a hidden side to what a human’s eye can see. A concept called scattering plays a major role in a sunset’s appearance
