Global warming is when the average temperature of the atmosphere, ocean, and land is increasing. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Since 1800s, the average temperature worldwide has increased. The average temperature of the earth has risen up until 0.8 degrees Celsius. Within 100 years in the future, they expected the temperature will keep rising by 1.133 to 6.42 degrees Celsius. In 1896, Svante Arrhenius, a scientist said that burn fossil fuel can increase the global warming. He combined between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and temperature. He found that due to the infrared absorption limit of water vapor and carbon dioxide the result was average temperature of the earth is about 15 degrees Celsius. He argued …show more content…

Therefore, the impact of the greenhouse concept is very influential on the increase of global warming on Earth. Climate change due to global warming has happened many times over the historical backdrop of the Earth. Some people think global warming is not a big issue because they have not felt and seen the impact of global warming. Mostly of the impact are short-term impacts, that is why they underestimate this problem. Global warming is serious problem that we must think how to stop it and prevent it. Because it can effect on people and also environment in many ways. Global warming is having a negative impact on civilization.

One effect of global warming that often occurs is flood. Flood risk can be caused by frequency of heavy rain storms. Flood risk can be caused by frequency of heavy rain storms. Flood can happen because the air is getting warmer and holds more moisture. At the point when the warm air holding moisture meets cooler air, the moisture consolidates into small droplets. If the drops getting bigger until the drops can holds because it is too heavy, then falls as rain. Therefore, the hotter the air the more rain would fall. Beside that, humans also …show more content…

The benefit from climate change is not comes from the temperature change, however it is from carbon dioxide itself. The raw material produce carbohydrates, proteins, and fats which comes from plants. Therefore, it’s not pollution. The positive impacts of global warming are the death in the winter less, better agricultural yields, drought may be less, lower energy costs, and etc. In fact, the death of winter surpasses the death of summer; not only in some countries such as the Britain, but also those have warm summer like Greece. Both the Britain and Greece see the death rate increased by 18 percent every winter. Mainly when winter can cause the increase in heart failures is much bigger than the increase in deaths during summer. For 10 years ago, Brits have died from winter at the normal rate of 29,000 excess deaths each winter. But then, if want to compare with summer 10 years ago, which asserted 15,000 lives in France and only 2,000 in Britain. Since 10 years, there has been no death summer surge at all. In 1974, 1984 and 1992, these years was the lowest polar bears could survive in the western Hudson Bay. These years when the sea ice was too thick for ringed seals to show up in great numbers in spring. Until today, the polar bears population is increasing, although the particularly reason because of the surcease of hunting but also because they need ice cracked. As indicated by the independent scholar Indur Goklany, they said
