Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (global climate destruction caused by human emissions of greenhouse gasses). Many people consider that Global Warming is the greatest environmental threat of the 21. st. Century. . However, during the 80s and early 90s scientists argued about the causes and effects of global warming. . By Matthew and saeb . What is global warming. Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Coal-burning power plants are the largest U.S. source of carbon dioxide pollution -- they produce 2.5 billion tons every year. Automobiles, the second largest source, create nearly 1.5 billion tons of CO2 annually. Foreman Room 102. 1. Global Warming and Ozone Depletion take place in two different layers of the atmosphere: .

What do you think Global Warming is?. Relief. There are three reasons why air is forced upward also forming three types of precipitation.. Relief . Precipitation- caused by winds carrying air up over a mountain barrier.. Convectional Precipitation. Coover ii 2008 Leslie Charles Coover ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Coover iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The greenhouse effect results when certain gasses trap the energy of the sun as it radiates upward from the eart Global warming is a key threat to biodiversity but few researchers have assessed the magnitude2climates calculated changes in habitatnumerous uncertainties in this approach we undertook a sensitivity Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C during the 100 years ending in 2005.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in greenhouse gas concentrations"via an enhanced greenhouse effect. .

"for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change". . Global warming is when the earth heats up and the temperature increases. More recently, the temperatures have been rising, causing more dangers for people, animals, plants and our environment.. The Greenhouse Effect. ---Focus on zonal mean here (can apply to zonal inhomogeneities too). ---Apply to simulated response to external forcing in coupled climate models. 4XCO. 2. , Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, Freshwater hosing .
