The Enhanced Green House Effect

The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect

For the past ten thousand years the earth’s climate has been extremely good  and beneficial to mankind. Today however , major changes are taking place.  Humans beings  are changing the face of the entire planet by destroying the rain forests and pumping our pollutants into the air and water. Some of these gases are very toxic and they are destroying our ozone layers which allows life to exist on earth These things are changing the make-up of the earth’s biosphere and its heat balance in a very negative way.

     Global Warming is an increase in the earth’s temperature due to the use of fossil fuels  and other industrial processes, leading to a buildup of green house gasses. It has been known that using these gasses stops the suns heat rays from getting into space.
This is called the green house effect. There is a question weather this adds to Co2 levels in the atmosphere.  A rise in temperature could cause coastal folding and major climatic changes. This could have serious effects on agricultural productivity.  Since 1850 there has been an average rise of 1 degree calculus (1.8 Fahrenheit). But this rise could be just a natural fluctuation or it could be from humans pumping fossil fuels into the atmosphere. It can be hard to tell if it is natural or man made, but either way, in 1995 it was the hottest year on record, research shows from the British Meteorological office. Some scientists predict that if green house gasses are not reduced quickly, temperatures could raise the average temperature 1.8 to 6.3 degree Farenheit by 2100. The average temperature rose 1.8-degree Fahrenheit from 1850 to about 1998. This says the temperature is rising faster because of more fossil fuels and Co2 being pumped into the atmosphere. These increases of temperature, scientists predict, could cause sea levels to rise 20 inches and more. Many of the world’s greatest scientist’s  say  the potential consequences are so great that many are urging immediate action,  and are asking for international cooperation.

Climate Change has caused some extreme and weather breaking events in recent years. There have been heat waves in European and North America, floods in Africa after nearly 2 decades of drought, and nearly continuous rain and cold in the middle of summer at other places. In the 80`s six of the hottest years of the century were recorded. This could be a result of a global climate change caused by the chemical ...
