The Causes And Impacts Of Man-Made Global Warming

Global warming is the increase of the average global temperature in the Earth 's atmosphere. Man-Made global warming has been a topic f controversial issue for many decades now. There are many theories as to why there has beem such a drastic change in the Earth 's atmosphere throughout the years. Global warming is indeed a product of humanities ' careless activities. The theories presented have ignited many debates amongst scientists and the increase in temperature has been the fuel that has kept them going on for so long. According to multiple scientists, humans are the ones responsible for the alarming change in the Earth 's atmospheric temperature. These scientists also fear that human activity will result in long term consequential problems

For many years, it was seemingly impossible to tell in which direction the climate was headed. It was not unitil the year 1975 that highly sophisticaded computer models were predicting that the temperature would increase by roughly 5 degrees Fahrenheit or 2.8 degrees Celcius, many other professionals believed so as well. According to Tim Flannery, a well reknown author, the doubling in Carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere would lead to a drastic increase in global temperatures. "Air pollution is causing a hefty share of global warming" (Walker, Sally M., and Tim F. Flannery. We Are the Weather Makers: The History of Climate Change). Carbon dioxide can be produced py respiration or decomposition of organic matter. It is of vital importance to the Earth: it helps regulate the air and water temperatures of our planet. All plants use Carbon dioxide during a process called Photosynthesis: a process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from Carbon dioxide and water. Plants are of vital importance to our planet because they produce oxygen, which we need in order to survive. Although Carbon dioxide is of much importance to our planet as well, it is definately not a good thing for CO2 (Carbon dioxide) levels to be very high. When Carbon dioxide levels are too high, it can cause what is know as the Greenhouse
