The greenhouse effect is a primary cause of global warming. It is a gradual rise in temperature in the earth’s atmosphere due to the heats absorption from the sun and entrapment Of gases, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, in the air around the earth. An example of this is a bright sunlight will effectively warm an individual’s car on a cold, clear day by the greenhouse effect. The longer infrared wavelengths radiated by sun-warmed objects do not pass readily through the glass. The trap of this energy warms the interior of the vehicle.
The trapping of the hot air so that it cannot rise and lose the energy by convection also plays a major role. Stephen Novena stated, “The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndale in 1 858, and first reported quantitatively by Savant Awareness in 1 896” (Global Warming). Greenhouse effect then becomes a primary cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide (CO) emissions cause global warming. It is gas in the earth’s atmosphere that came from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are formed by natural resources and are decomposed from buried dead organisms.
A study on Carbon dioxide emissions in a magazine article on May 2009 found the allowing evidence: “In the 1 9th century, scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a “greenhouse effect” which affects the planet’s temperature. [The planets temperature will increase dramatically by the gases in the atmosphere absorbing the heat. ] These scientists were interested chiefly in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century, Savant Awareness calculated that emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming.
Other scientists dismissed his idea as faulty. In 1 938, G. S. Calendar argued that the level of carbon dioxide was climbing and raising [the] global temperature, but most scientists found his arguments implausible. It was almost by chance that a few researchers in the 1 adds discovered that global warming truly was possible. In the early 1 sass, C. D. Keeling measured the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: it was rising fast. Researchers began to take an interest, struggling to understand how the level of carbon dioxide had changed in the past, and how the level was influenced by chemical and biological forces.
They found that the gas plays a racial role in climate change, so that the rising level could gravely affect our future. ” (Heart) This magazine article influence Americans to recycle because the article is geared to them. With the CO causing the increase in weather, it also causes the increase of the greenhouse effect. The CO can affect the climate change and the future of the world if the greenhouse effect increases. Causes of global warming exist and so do the effects. Revving stated, “Americans lead in moving to a world where ‘fossil fuels have been largely modified for carbon recycling or replaced by carbon-neutral alternatives. Challenges to Both Left and Right on Global Warming) A result of increase of weather are polar ice caps and temperature rising. When the temperature increases, the polar ice caps will melt, causing glaciers to melt as well. Glaciers are made up of fresh frozen water and when they melt into the ocean, which is composed of salt water, the ocean currents will be altered. The result of ocean currents altering will also affect the species that live in the ocean. Some species live in salt water and others live in fresh water, but cannot live in both. The increase Of Water in the ocean will cause evaporation to increase.
