Over the last century, the temperature has risen by around 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 of a degree Celsius). So far the worst years recorded were 2001, 2002, 2003 so technically speaking we are doing slightly better than we were. But environmentalists, the changing of the climate is by the Green House Effect with Green House Gasses. So, where are these greenhouse gasses coming from? The first and most well-known one is, you guessed it carbon dioxide. It is the most well know because it accounts for over half of the greenhouse gasses and can come from anywhere, and I do mean everywhere. Carbon is usually recycled by the process of photosynthesis. But under our current conditions there is too much carbon to allow this cycle to change it to oxygen. So where does that carbon go? Well it goes to our atmosphere of course, it begins to break down the Ozone layer. Methane comes in second making the second largest amount of the greenhouse gasses, just coming in a little under a half. Methane comes from many places such as; cows from their bowls and swamps. So its natural skeptics may say, but only one of them is natural and that’s theShow MoreRelatedThe Global Warming Debate On Our World880 Words   |  4 Pa geskilling our species and plants; Human activity is to blame.

Countries throughout the world have been putting their efforts into research surrounding this topic to see if it is an actual problem. Globally, all of the top ten warmest years have happened since 1998 (NOAA, 2015). One of the most confused claims from citizens is that â€Å"It is cold outside, therefore global warming is not real or happening.† But, just because the temperature of one area isRead MoreGlobal Warming Is A Serious Problem982 Words   |  4 PagesGlobal warming is a serious problem the world faces today.

People argue that is real, and others argue that it is fake. The effects of global warming create a growing danger for the ecosystem we live in by damaging glaciers and weather patterns. Humans contribute to global warming yet non-believers will think otherwise. Global warming is the greatest challenge facing our planet. According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) mostRead MoreMedia Journal A Critical Analysis of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart1450 Words   |  6 PagesThe Daily Show pronounces itself as a fake news program, and it pulls its comedy and satire from current news reports, politicians, media companies, and often, features of the show itself.

Based on the facts th ere has been proven that global warming is actually becoming an Ecology threat. I want to give the reader an insight of how we humans are destroying the planet Earth. The planet Earth is only getting worse; therefore we humans must practice more sustainable acts. Did
