How global warming works?




Global warming was once an uncommon term used by a few scientists who were growing

concerned over the effects of decades of pollution on long-term weather patterns. Today, the idea of global warming is well known, if not well understood. It is not unusual to hear someone complaining about a hot day or a freak storm and remark, "It's global warming."
Well, is it? In this article, we'll learn what global warming is, what causes it, what its current effects are and what the future effects could be. Although there has been a scientific consensus on global warming, some aren't sure it's something we need to worry about. We'll examine some proposed changes in the United States' national policies related to curbing global warming and the criticisms and concerns surrounding them.
Global warming is a significant increase in the Earth's climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans.
­­ In specific terms, an increase of 1 or more degrees Celsius in a period of one hundred to two hundred years would be considered global warming. Over the course of a single century, an increase of even 0.4 degrees Celsius would be significant.

Looks good, now add the Truth summary/ review both parts, and you need to work on your 'Carbon Footprint', maybe another post.

Abdul Salem:

Where's your Inconveniant truth summary and video?? This needs to be done before the next blogpost!

Then, start the next carbon footprint assignment, as in my blogspot, because you're behind!

You are doing well, and seem to be understanding what we're aiming for in this project. Three more posts! Hurry up!

Your blog post looks good, what about 'Truth' summary/ review- what about the guidelines and description of different possibilities for green cooling?

You need to write 'Carbon footprint' plus Cool cities - adaptations Now! and then work on other points. We'll talk in class.
