Global Warming

Paper Summary:

The paper gives some of the root causes of climate change. The writer discusses the effects of global warming in terms of the following categories-- changes in sea levels, ice cover, forest cover and regional climates. The writer includes some secondary impacts of each of these events with each topic. Finally, the paper outlines some of the more well known examples of international efforts to get together and address this issue.

From the Paper:

"Global temperatures are determined by the atmospheric greenhouse effect. Briefly, the cycle works as follows. Heat emitted from the sun enters the earth's atmosphere through the ozone layer. This ozone layer filters out some of the harmful radiation from the sun's ultraviolet rays while still letting in some of its life giving heat and energy. Then the ozone layer continues to participate in the system by keeping some of that heat trapped close to the earth's surface, allowing biodiversity and agriculture to thrive. The sun continually provides rays of heat and energy, and the ozone molecules comprising the stratospheric ozone layer are in a constant state of breaking down and rebuilding. These events have been working together to regulate our climate since the origin of the planet. It is a major part of what makes earth so unique."
