Global Warming

Energy from the sun heats up Earth’s surface and in turn the Earth radiates some of that heat back into space. The purpose of the atmosphere is to trap some of the “greenhouse gases” and energy in order to keep temperatures similar to what they are today as well as protect from extreme temperatures. However, complications arise when the concentration of the greenhouse gases increase. Before the Industrial revolution, human activities did not have such a drastic effect on the atmosphere. Yet, as the population of humans on Earth grew, more gases began to be emitted into the atmosphere where they accumulated and remained.

The increases of these chemicals have enhanced the heat trapping capability of the atmosphere of the earth. Sulfate aerosols, cool the atmosphere because they reflect light back into space, but sulfates do not live long in the atmosphere. Scientists still do not know what exactly is heating up the earth. Some say the earth is going through a natural cycle because the earth has gone through cold periods as well as hot periods. Mounting evidence is saying that humans are to blame for the rise in temperatures over the past 120 years.

Mankind’s industrialization of the world has caused a drastic increase in temperature. This rise in temperature is caused by solar radiation remaining in our atmosphere because of gases produced by humans through the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities. These gases block the radiation from escaping into space therefore warming our planet. The result is raising of ocean levels, extinction of species and threatening of children’s health because of disease and less freshwater to drink. While many view climate change to be a more natural occurrence than others do, scientists have proven the average temperature rise of the Earth between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the last 100 years.

This causes areas of the photosphere to be cooler than others. Solar Flares send out huge streams of particles from the Sun. The particles communicate with the Earth’s atmosphere to make fantastic light shows called auroras. There are also big explosions known as Solar Flares. Solar Flares are hot gases, they leave the Sun and entrance into Space.

There are a few major causes of theses heat trapping gases. According to a study conducted by Dr. Gerald Meehl, Warren Washington, T.M.L. Wigley, Julie Arblaster, and Aiguo Dai from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder Colorado, the main contributors to global warming are derived from human activities. Since the start of the industrial revolution, atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CH4, and N2O have increased by 30%, 145%, and 15%k respectively. The gases are emitted mainly by cars, power plants, and other industrial sources that burn gasoline, coal, and other fossil fuels.

Coronal mass ejections are known to be formed by explosive reconfigurations of solar magnetic fields through the process of magnetic reconnection, however its exact formation mechanism is not yet understood. A factor of sunspots is that climate changes depend on where they are located, and how many there are on the sun. According to the current theory, sunspots occur in pairs of magnetic disruptions in the concentrated plasma near the Sun's surface. Magnetic force is 2,500 times stronger than Earth’s. Due to the high magnetic field, magnetic pressure increases while the surrounding atmospheric pressure decrease... ... middle of paper ... ... radio blackouts around the whole world and long-lasting radiation storms in the upper atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases: Greenhouse gases are the the gases that block the ultraviolet rays coming from the sun on earth. Greenhouse gases mechanism in our atmosphere that influence how much heat we retain within the atmosphere. So that these rays remains on the earth and increased the global warming. Electricity: Electricity also effects on the increase global warming. When we on our room bulb 24 hours it increased the temperature and production of electricity may also caused.

The green house effect drives global warming; in addition, this force keeps Earth habitable. The danger is when green house gases achieve high levels. When sunlight travels into the atmosphere, the surface absorbs about seventy percent. Then, the surface cools by radiating heat energy upward. Only a small percentage of the energy emitted from the surface passes thought the sky into outer-space.

Sunspots are dark holes that form when the magnetic field is extremely intense in one area on the sun’s surface. These areas can become explosive and release solar flares that hit the Earth atmosphere. When sunspot activity is highest so is the amount of energy the sun sends to Earth (crh.noaa.gov). Allowing the Earth to warm and cool more rapidly, based on the cycle. There are also other short term climate change patterns that occur on Earth in the tropical regions.

There are some of the solar rays that was trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere naturally, and the rest goes to space. When there is too many gas, more rays are trapped in the atmosphere, and; therefore, the earth warms and the temperature goes up. This is the phenomenon of global warming. Moreover, the global warming associated with climate change that may have one anthropogenic cause or probably not. The main effect that causes global warming is the greenhouse effect as I said before, which is a phenomenon referred to absorption by certain atmospheric gases— mainly H2O, followed by CO2 and O3— part of the energy that the ground emits, as a consequence of having been heated by solar radiation.
