  • 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.

  • Humans are incresing polution which is harming our planet by making global warming more usual
  • There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels and changes in land use, including agriculture and deforestation.

    This is a opinion that demands that we ARE responsible for global warming.

    In this section of the EPA greenhouse gas page, it states the different sources of greenhouse gas emissions. I understand now, after reading it, that greenhouse gas emissions come from not just one place. They come primarily from electricity production, however hey also come from transportation (planes, trains, cars and boats), Agriculture (cows, livestock), Land use, even from our own homes!

    cientists are trending in their own (small) way in The Daily Climate's archives. Michael Mann, the Penn State climatologist who famously likened the sharp rise in the past century's temperatures to the upturned blade of a hockey stick, saw his media profile jump in 2012: 61 mentions, compared to 36 in 2011.

causes warming global Global Warming opinions scientists

shared by soledad05 on 24 Jan 13 - Cached
  • 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.

  • 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!!!

global warming animals affect climate change

shared by ita luna on 31 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • Animals become affected by global warming due to changes in their habitats caused by changes in climate.
  • The changes in temperature caused by global warming will have a number of effects on the habitats of animals. The melting ice will cause the loss of habitat for species such as the polar bear. Warmer water will also cause the population of fish such as trout and salmon to decline.
  • ita luna on 31 Jan 13
     
    Temperature is one f the main causes of global warming. Animals can loose there homes. Apparently warm water can cause the death of fish or any kind of sea animal.

  • Today, there are three prevalent points of view on global warming. There is no global warming. There are global warming cycles where mankind has no effect. There are global warming cycles where mankind’s actions act as a catalyst.
  • The consequences of global warming are not necessarily the current weather patterns of the moment which occur from time to time naturally. It is the unprecedented speed of the warming cycle. What we are witnessing as a result is the emergence of a new norm in our weather patterns. The results are continuing record incidents of extreme and severe weather.

global warming warming hoax sun climate change

shared by soledad05 on 24 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • It seems like there’s a new article appearing almost daily on the Internet with new and shocking evidence that the entire manmade global warming story has been a hoax. But is anyone really listening or doing anything about it?
  • None of the new scientific reports and studies that prove global warming is a hoax are ever seen in the major media, and even if they were, they’re above most people’s heads, or at least outside their attention span. Instead we need to keep repeating the basic scientific facts about climate change: 1) That climate change drives CO2 levels, and 2) That the earth in fact is relatively cool right now, and that constantly changing cycles of solar activity are the real reason for climate change.

  • Climate change will have a significant impact on the sustainability of water supplies in the coming decades. A new analysis, performed by consulting firm Tetra Tech for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), examined the effects of global warming on water supply and demand in the contiguous United States. The study found that more than 1,100 counties -- one-third of all counties in the lower 48 -- will face higher risks of water shortages by mid-century as the result of global warming. More than 400 of these counties will face extremely high risks of water shortages. Read more »

  • 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.
  • Jennifer Garcia on 31 Jan 13
     
    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.
