global warming record

shared by rodrigomelara on 24 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • Carbon pollution is the main reason our planet is getting hotter, increasing the chances of weather disasters, drought and flood and hurting our health. There are solutions. For starters, we can cut carbon pollution by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and increasing our use of clean, renewable energy. And we can implement policies that help us prepare for flooding, drought, storms and other consequences of climate change. But first, we need national leadership that will stop ignoring what the earth and scientists are telling us about climate change -- and instead start ignoring those who continue to deny it is happening.
  • It's time to listen – and take action. There's plenty we can do

    Global warming Global warming affects the temperature of the earths atmosphere making it much much hotter or warmer than it is supposed to be. Global warming is said to be because we are consuming too much oil, producing too much carbon dioxide and doing too much deforestation.we got to stop cutting trees. Global warming is changing the climate that all living things have come to rely upon.While we fight or struggle to figure it all out, the whole planet Earth as we know it-coasts, forests, farms, and snowcapped mountains, rivers, animals and wildlife are in the small line of melting, dying, being killed, being deforested and obviously BEING POLLUTED!!!

  • NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space
  • The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

  • There are lots of reasons to be concerned about this trend, not the least of which is the amplification of global warming through a positive feedback. (Since ice is a lot more reflective of sunlight than ocean water, melting sea ice allows more heat from the Sun to be absorbed instead of reflected, causing temperatures to rise more rapidly, thus melting more ice, and so forth, creating a positive feedback and raising the Earth’s reflectivity, also known as its albedo.)

  • Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. There is great debate among many people, and sometimes in the news, on whether global warming is real (some call it a hoax). But climate scientists looking at the data and facts agree the planet is warming. While many view the effects of global warming to be more substantial and more rapidly occurring than others do, the scientific consensus on climatic changes related to global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years. The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years. Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate carrying out global warming research have recently predicted that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events.

  • The Earth’s population is set to increase to 9 billion by 2050. If we continue to act as we do today, by this time the demand for resources will be three times greater than the planet can supply. This means: change needs to happen.   Consumers and retailers are increasingly looking for more sustainable products. This means efficiency and sustainability are key – as we need to produce more with less. To remain competitive, brand owners and manufacturers must keep pace.

  • Carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up.
  • over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history

    Carbon Dioxide and other harmful things are piling up in our atmosphere. The bad gases are causing the global warming. Apparently, the temperature could be from 3-9 degrees higher by the end of the century.

  • You may have heard about global warming. It seems that in the last 100 years the earth's temperature has increased about half a degree Celsius. This may not sound like much, but even half a degree can have an effect on our planet. According to the U.S.
  • But the rising temperature and icebergs could play a small role in the rising ocean level. Icebergs are chunks of frozen glaciers that break off from landmasses and fall into the ocean. The rising temperature may be causing more icebergs to form by weakening the glaciers, causing more cracks and making ice mo­re likely to break off. As soon as the ice falls into the ocean, the ocean rises a little.
  • The main ice covered landmass is Antarctica at the South Pole, with about 90 percent of the world's ice (and 70 percent of its fresh water). Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet). But the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting. In fact in most parts of the continent it never gets above freezing.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • There is a significant amount of ice covering Greenland, which would add another 7 meters (20 feet) to the oceans if it melted. Because Greenland is closer to the equator than Antarctica, the temperatures there are higher, so the ice is more likely to melt.
  • But there might be a less dramatic reason than polar ice melting for the higher ocean level -- the higher temperature of the water. Water is most dense at 4 degrees Celsius. Above and below this temperature, the density of water decreases (the same weight of water occupies a bigger space). So as the overall temperature of the water increases it naturally expands a little bit making the oceans rise.

    the temperature of the world has increased .5 degrees Celsius over the last 100 years. The heat is melting the icebergs. The sea levels have risen 15-20cm over the last 100 years.90% of the world's ice is in Antarctica.

  • Question: What Causes Global Warming?Answer: Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accummulate in the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit into outer space.
  • driving cars, using electricity
  • While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to create the greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth warm enough to support life, human use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess greenhouse gases. By driving cars, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. Deforestation is another significant source of greenhouse gases, because fewer trees means less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen.
