Abstract
This paper discusses the causes, nature, and consequences of global warming or human induced climated change, and recommends responses. It discusses the discovery of the greenhouse effect in planetary atmospheres; the role of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere and evidence for human-induced global warming. The paper also looks at the consequences of climatic instability, including disruption of global food production. Technological and social responses to global warming are also explored.

From the Paper
"Within a couple of decades, human-induced climate change, better known as global warming, has moved from a theoretical discussion at the frontiers of science to become a pressing matter of global concern. The following discussion explores global warming in both its scientific and human dimensions. It begins with a discussion of how the so-called greenhouse effect was discovered, followed by an examination of the scientific principles underlying the greenhouse effect and the role of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and an examination of the possible consequences of climate change resulting from the emission of these gases, particularly carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere as a result of industrial energy production. This foundational discussion is followed by a survey of possible responses that have been proposed to limit or alleviate global warming, concluding with a set of policy recommendations. "

Abstract
The paper argues that global warming has been in debate for decades due to environmental and economic issues, but there is more focus on economic worthiness than being well deserved to breath the air. The paper explains that economic values of environmental issues are not centered by government officials, as it should be; currently, the focus of government officials may be centered on security, and the loss of economic stamina is slipping especially in the United States. The paper contends that the approach towards ecological and natural history should be manifested in North America in an effort for people and all living organisms to grow, survive and adapt.

"Global warming has been in debate for decades due to environmental and economic issues. It seems that there is more focus on economic worthiness than being well deserved to breath the air. In other words, economic values of environmental issues are not centered by government officials, as it should be. Currently, the focus from government officials may be centered in security and the loss of economic stamina is slipping especially in the United States. The approach on ecological and natural history should be manifested in North American in an effort for people and all living organisms to grow, survive and adapt. The approach should be..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the planet is currently facing the challenge and danger of global warming. The writer maintains that science and technology have brought us to this crisis, in that industrialization has led to global warming. It seems highly likely that we will have to rely on these very same things, i.e. science and technology, to rescue us from the peril we are in due to global warming. Within the ambit of scientific responses to global warming, two basic kinds of response exist: mitigation of global warming, or adaptation to the effects of global warming. This paper examines the research to determine which approach seems more appropriate and useful for saving ourselves from global warming. It recommends that we look to adaptation using science and technology, as mitigation has clearly failed.

From the Paper
"Examples include sequestering carbon in trees. This would involve planting a vast number of trees, because trees take in carbon dioxide. They incorporate in into their leaves, roots and stems via photosynthesis. Due to the long life of trees, this would mean that the carbon had been sequestered away from the environment for about 100 years. Another approach is carbon management, in which carbon dioxide emitted during the burning of carbon fuels is caught and then sequestered away from the atmosphere. The question of course is where to store it. One suggestion is to sequester it in the ocean. The problem with this solution is that we do not know what the long-term effects on the ocean would be. In addition, the technologies to capture carbon dioxide emissions are still in the very early stages. Fertilizing the ocean with iron is an innovative idea propounded by an oceanographer in 1987."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the topic of global warming, explaining that our planet is currently facing the challenge and danger of this phenomen. The paper explains that we cannot be certain of the time frame, but we do know enough to know that some kind of action is called for. Science and technology have brought us to this crisis, in that industrialization has led to global warming. The paper concludes that within the ambit of scientific responses to global warming, two basic kinds of response exist: mitigation of global warming, or adaptation to the effects of global warming. This paper examines the research to determine which approach seems more appropriate and useful for saving ourselves from global warming.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that global warming is an increasing environmental problem. Because most of the gaseous emissions contributing to global warming are from human activities it can be argued that global warming is man-made. The writer maintains that there is much we can do to reduce the warming of Earth's climate so SUV drivers need not fear that their automobiles are primarily responsible for global warming.

From the Paper
"The earth's environment is a growing concern particularly the issue of global warming. For hundreds of years people have been aware of the gradual warming occurring in Earth's atmosphere. This climate increase has continued to grow and is now recognized throughout the world as an issue of concern. Scientists working with the Environmental Protection Agency have observed a change in climate that is greatly reflected by the increase in atmospheric temperature (EPA). Interestingly this gradual warming has increased in conjunction with the growing ..."

Abstract
This paper responds to fixed question and explanation as to how global warming is occurring, its causes, how it is measured and inductive science that has revealed climatic change as a genuine and ongoing threat. The writer presents a discussion of the promotion of global warming as an often Western phenomenon whose effects are experienced in poor countries in natural disasters, disease, drought and further upset.

I"This paper refers to course materials demonstrating the reality of global warming. Danny Harvey summarized that "numerous lines of research indicate, quite conclusively, that the Earth's climate warmed during the 20th century." Among the most important results has been warming of sea surface temperatures and air temperatures over land, known over many years as have escalated sharply as helps scientists to know the reality of anthropenic forcing that involves greenhouse heating and aerosol cooling effects that explain what has happened. The preceding summary is helpful to a neophyte reader in the way that ..."

"Another issue is represented by the more and more often natural disasters like storms, floods and hurricanes that damage and even destroy people's establishments. The regions most vulnerable to sea-level rise are river deltas such as the Nile delta in Egypt, the Ganges in Bangladesh, the Yangtze and Hwang Ho in China, the Mekong and also the United States that could loose 8000 square miles (20,000 km2) of land, valued at about $650 billion, and 30-80% of its coastal wetlands . Insurance companies are also affected by the natural disasters that come along and in order to avoid bankruptcy they try to develop new strategies on the market and diminish the risks."

Abstract
The paper studies the ethical and philosophical side of the worldwide tragedy of global warming. Looking at texts by noted environmental ethicists such as Erazim Kohak, Paul W. Taylor and Peter Singer, the paper looks at causes of global warming, efforts to reverse and stop global warming and just how responsible we as human beings are for the earth's well-being.

From the Paper
"In today's world of tsunamis and fires and other natural disasters, there seems to be little that measly man can do to halt his own destruction by Mother Nature. Houses and buildings can only be built so soundly, so much caution can only be taken. Yet, some of nature's ravages can be halted, or could have been avoided, had man possessed more accurate foresight and less greed and apathy. One of these occurrences in nature is global warming. This phenomenon is the increase over the course of time of the temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is a concern, as if it is left unchecked, it will very likely have a severely adverse effect upon the global environment and economy, through it's damaging of agriculture and livable areas."
