What is Global Warming?

 

Global warming remains one of the most widely-debated scientific issues of modern time, and global warming essays remain a favorite topic for students and professors, alike.  Global warming is a theory that states, not only that the earth is getting warmer, which is a demonstrable scientific fact, but also that this warming is the direct result of human activity releasing greater amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.  Although more than 97% of scientists support the theory of global warming, it is often treated in the political sphere as lacking support, with politicians playing on the fact that many people are unaware of what the word “theory” means when used in a scientific setting.  As a result, our global warming essays not only discuss the issue of global warming, but also frequently delve into issues such as the scientific definition of a theory or political motivations to deny or support climate change science.

Climate change impacts on Australia's alpine ecosystems and biodiversity
Climate change is a contemporary issue, which cannot be easily written off because of the effects it has on the environments. This has often forced many governments to manage their industrial activities because they are recipes of climate change. This study focuses on the effects of climate change on the Australia's Alpine region. It is evident that melting of glaciers, alteration of natural habitat including migration of animals are some of the effects of climate change in the region. It is important for humans to manage their activities to curb this menace.

Environmental regulations and safety strategies for oil and gas production
Regulating Oil and Gas Drilling and Transport Introduction. The American economy runs on energy produced from oil, coal, natural gas, hydroelectric power, nuclear power and renewable sources like solar and wind energies. In fact according to a report in the Congressional Research Service, oil provides the United States with 40% of its total energy needs. It is used in myriad ways, providing "…fuel for the transportation, industrial, and residential sectors" (Ramseur, 2012). Because of the great need for energy to fuel the American economy, oil in "vast quantities" enters the country and moves through the country by ships and by pipelines, Ramseur explains in the Congressional Research Service. Hence, it is inevitable that some spills will occur, and they certainly do occur, notwithstanding the attempts by the industry to conduct its business safely. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that the U.S. consumed 6.87 billion barrels (about 18.83 million barrels a day) in 2011, and that was a slight reduction from the 7.0 billion barrels consumed in 2010 (www.eia.gov). As for the amount of natural gas consumed in the U.S. annually, the EIA reports that Americans used approximately 24.38 trillion cubic feet in 2011 (www.eia.gov). There is no doubt that until such time as renewable sources provide far more energy for the nation, oil and natural gas in particular will be in great demand. This paper reviews current environmental problems associated with oil and gas production and offers strategies for safer ways to regulate oil and gas production. Thesis: Because of the risky strategies energy corporations take in retrieving oil and natural gas – and due to the leaks, spills, blowouts, tankers running around and other errors and disasters associated with oil extraction and transport – major new environmental regulations must be put on place regarding the drilling for oil. Moreover, current tactics for producing natural gas from existing wells – a process known as "fracking" – are not safe, do not protect the environment, have the potentiality of bringing harm residents and communities, and should be strictly regulated.

Nonrenewable versus renewable energy sources and uses
In this paper, comparison and contrast has been done on non renewable energy and renewable energy use. The use of non-renewable and renewable energy is for various purposes. Renewable sources are those energy sources that are not under the threat of depletion whereas non-renewable sources of energy are bound to be finished soon, if consumed at current rate. Fossil fuels and radioactive fuels are main types of energy sources in non-renewable category. In fossil fuels, natural gas, petroleum, and coal are widely used for energy.

Solar flares as a potential contributor to global warming
This paper talks about the solar flares and how they go on to cause global warming. Global warming has been an ongoing phenomenon and there are many reasons it has occurred. Apart from the green house effect, global warming could have been due to the solar flares that have occurred. Different researches and theories regarding this matter are discussed in the paper.
