Write a 2 page, double-spaced paper.
Address the following in your paper:
Global warming
Whether global warming is a junque or real science, and why.
PLEASE NO PLAGIARISM!!!! IN YOUR OWN WORDS PLEASE!!!!
Whether global warming is a pseudo or real science, and why?
Global waring refers to the heating of entire earth surface all over the world by the excess emission of green house gases like Carbon dioxide, methane , CFC, nitrous oxide and water vapor. Normally, the infrared radiations coming from sun to the atmosphere is captured and re radiated by this green house gases. The atmospheric heating occurred by this absorption and emission of these radiations. If more carbon dioxide is emitted from the various sources on earth to the atmosphere, more re-radiation will occur and the heating of earth surface will be more. This actually termed as global warming.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in the past century there is increase in the earth’s surface average temperature by around 1.4 degree Fahrenheit (means 0.8 degrees Celsius). It has also been estimated that global temperature may increase by another 2 to 11.5 degrees F in the next century. The emission of Carbon dioxide is the major cause of global warming. It originates from various anthropogenic activities like burning of fossil fuels like petrol, diesel and coal, cutting trees or deforestation, industries. Another gas methane produced from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials.
Effects of global warming includes, increase the temperature of whole earth, melting of glaciers and flood and serious climate changes on entire the earth surface.
Now, this under real science or not ?
All we discussed earlier includes the substances which cause global warming and its effects and also, reports from various scientific organization to prove the real global warming. How the temperature changes fluctuating? What are the cause of some exceptional climate changes ? All these studies are under the categories of science or especially under “environmental chemistry”
To know the composition of gases, check their effects on earth and climate, temperature deviations, control over the emission of gases- all are under the category of Science and it is under the control of human beings. We all are responsible to reduce the emission of gases and thereby to escape earth from warming.
