Global Warming

An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore, is a documentary that tells us about Global Warming. As he tells us, Global Warming involves solar radiation, in the form of light waves, passing through the atmosphere. Most of this radiation is absorbed by the Earth and warms it. Then some of the energy is radiated back into space, by the Earth, in the form of infrared waves. However during this process, some of the outgoing infrared radiation is trapped by the Earth’s atmosphere and warms it; which in return keeps the temperature at a livable and somewhat constant level.

Wake up and smell the pollution. Global warming is happening. It’s all around us, from the carbon emissions to the papers we waste. All these lead to the Greenhouse effect. Evidence of Global warming is present in the rapid melting of polar ice caps, glaciers, and areas of Antarctica. It this does not stop life as we know it will cease to exist. Therefore every contribution is vital, no matter how big or small, even if it is just recycling or car pooling. The causes of global warming can be reduced significantly by simple actions the average person can do.

Today many people ask questions that defer to environmental changes around us. One of the greatest of changes has been the temperature and its effects. Today scientists have called one of the greatest threats the world will face a few years from now, and that is called global warming. Global warming is the increase of temperature in the earth that creates not only heat level effects but rising sea levels
