Explain how the activities ... problem facing our world today is the Global Warming. This is the increase of the earth's temperature caused by the use of fossil fuels and other industrial processes leading to the build-up of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases consist of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons. The increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is decreasing the amount of radiation to pass through to get back to ...

I will show that there is not only a direct relationship, as many prior studies assert, but also that there is an interaction effect of the amount of interpersonal contact with others.

- 35: Atmosphere Crisis
- ... than two billion pounds of chemicals are spewed into the air each year. These chemicals are brewing a disastrous stew, resulting in an atmosphere crisis. The greatest consequences of the atmosphere crisis may be the greenhouse effect( global warming) and the ozone deletion. If humankind wants to survive well into the next millennium, than we must stop this horrid destruction of our own environment. The Earth appears to be warming due to the greenhouse effect. Scientists estimate that average temperature could climb about 2 degrees Celsius in 20 years. This change in the global climate would have disastrous results, including drought, coastal flooding and increased species extinction. And, ...

- 38: Global Warming
- GLOBAL WARMING In 1992 the United States and nations from around the world met at the United Nations Earth Summit in Rio and agreed to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000. The Rio Treaty was not legally binding and, because reducing emissions would likely cause great economic damage, many nations will not meet the goal. Representatives from around the world met again in December of 1997 at a conference in Kyoto to sign a revised agreement. The Clinton Administration negotiators agreed to legally binding, internationally enforceable limits on the emission of greenhouse gases as a key tenet of the treaty. The president's position is based on the idea that global warming is real and that it is caused by human activity. Further, it presupposes that the potential damage caused by global warming would greatly outweigh the damage caused to the economy by severely restricting energy use. Finally, his position assumes that the agreement will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide and will prevent global warming.
