World View of Global Warming

Ever seen a greenhouse? They are the sheds with roofs and sometimes even walls made of glass and other transparent material. This lets a huge amount of solar heat in and warms the air which is trapped inside by the roof and the walls, keeping the temperature inside the greenhouse much warmer than outside. In cold climates this helps certain species of plants that prefer a more tropical environment to thrive. The sun’s rays enter the Earth’s atmosphere and bring life and heat to the planet. However a huge amount of this radiation is reflected back by the planet. It’s a very delicate balance, because too much heat reflected would mean an ice age and too little would mean we would be a burnt toast! Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, Methane and Water vapour are called greenhouse gases. These gases form a layer in the atmosphere and prevent the reflected radiation from leaving the Earth. Just like a green house, this will make the temperature on the surface become steadily hotter. This effe...

Here's a list of 101 Ways to Save Green and Live Green! If not all...there are some of these we can all implement to do our bit for the environment and Live Greener Lives. Add your own green tips and ideas in the comments below. GREEN . It's the favorite word of the day, week, month, year. The newspapers and media are all over going GREEN . With the current trend to 'GO GREEN ' , everyone has jumped on the bandwagon for having a ' GREEN home' , ' GREEN car' , ' GREEN world' and a lot of the time it's easier said than done. What we need is not to be told to Live GREEN ...We need the common sense and the ability to treat each other and the environment with respect, to spread and share HOW each one of us can Live Greener Lives starting with small changes in our everyday lives. We need to ask our American politicians to do more than play lip service to celebrities and really get serious about the legacy we will leave to our children. Ways to...

Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late. Here is a list of 50 simple things that everyone can do in order to fight against and reduce the Global Warming phenomenon: some of these ideas are at no cost, some other require a little effort or investment but can help you save a lot of money, in the middle-long term! Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl) CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Install a programmable thermostat Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at night and raise them ag...

What is global warming? Here we discuss the science of global warming, its causes and effects, and why it is one of humanity's biggest challenges. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level. IPCC Climate Change 2007 Report Global warming is quite a recent phenomenon that came to international prominence only by the end of the 20th century. But man-made pollution was known to affect the climate system of the planet as long ago as the middle – end of the 19th century. It was first suggested in 1863 that changes in the composition of the atmosphere due to pollution could lead to climate change. In 1896 the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius made first actual calculations of the effect of greenhouse warming in which he estimated that a doubling of carbon dioxide [in the atmosphere] would increase the global avera...
