Greenhouse Effects Global Warming

Negative Effects of Global Warming

There are many predicted effects for the environment and for human life due to global warming. The main effect centres around an increase in the global average temperature. It’s been confirmed by at least 20 scientific societies and academies of science, as well as all the national academies of science of the G8 states, that the Earth’s global average air temperature near its surface rose by 0.56-0.92 C (0.98-1.62 F) degrees during the last 100 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that this increase is very likely due to the “observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, which leads to the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect.”

Know The History And Understand The Global Warming Issue

Global warming is defined by Wikipedia as “the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.”


Most think of global warming as being human-made, and while much recent attention to global warming is due to the human-made variety, global warming is actually a natural process as the Earth has experienced natural global warming and cooling many times in the past. The Antarctic EPICA ice core has existed for 800,000 years, and that has included eight glacial cycles with interglacial warming periods that are much hotter than current temperatures.

Diet And Global Warming - Weight Reduction And Health In A New Perspective

Did you know that what you eat is equally important with regard to the global warming phenomenon as carbon- dioxide emissions?


People think I have lost my mind when I confront them with this question.


Of course not, most would say.


Well, here is the simple and honest, bony truth:


When people eat meat and use dairy products, they support the farms that produce meat and raise cattle. That is self- explanatory.


This cattle is way beyond what it has ever been in terms of numbers.

Understanding The Global Warming Myths

The first global warming myth many people hold is that the science of global warming is too uncertain to act on. Nothing could be further from the truth, as scientists are in agreement over the basic facts of global warming, including the fact that global warming is occurring and that human activities, like burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests, intensify global warming’s effects on our planet.


The U.S. National Academy of Sciences and 10 other National Academies of Science state that there is clear evidence that global warming is occurring and that nations should take prompt action in the form of cost-effective steps in order to contribute to substantial and long-term reduction in net global greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycle Printer Cartridges to Reduce Global Warming

The scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have predicted that average global temperatures are likely to increase by 2 to 11.5 F by the year 2100.


Likely effects of higher temperatures:


Some of the likely effects of global warming are as follows.

    - Smoggy days and extreme weather conditions

    - Melting glaciers

    - Increased sea levels with possible flooding

    - Intense hurricanes like Katrina
