The Causes |
|
·
Nitrous oxide,
and heat from the sun are being trapped in the atmosphere. Resulting in
the
temperature on Earth increasing. Many things have caused global
warming, from
cars on the highway, to oil industries in the south. ·
Many
of the causes of global warming have been overlooked for years. Such as
certain
gases and elements used to make oil. Such as Carbon Dioxide,a harmful
gas that can harm the Earth. Study shows that about 33% of U.S carbon dioxide emissions
come from the burning of
gasoline in internal engines of cars and light trucks. In a Dodge ·
·
Even
though CO2 is the most common greenhouse gas, Methane is 20 times more
effective than Carbon Dioxide. Large electrical industries use methane
as their
main ingredient to produce electricity. Other ingredients vary from
turbine
gases to coal. ·
Last
but not least, Water vapor.
Many scientist think differently on terms when it
comes to water vapor. Some say that water vapor has not played a major
role in
global warming. However, some skeptics argue that water vapor is indeed
a
greenhouse gas, and have gone as far as saying it is the most
important! Water
vapor has caused about 5.53% of global warming, and maybe more! Water vapor is water in its
gaseous state-instead of liquid or solid (ice). ·
Some scientists say that human
activity has
played a .28% role in global warming. Some have said 93%, but that
really
doesn’t matter. Our planet is in trouble, so are all the habitats that
live on
this planet. Our matter of survival lies on if we take it upon
ourselves to
solve this global crisis. To also work together on solutions to use
renewable
natural resources to keep this planet healthy, as well as ourselves. |
