In two to three well-developed paragraphs, explain how the concern that burning fossil fuels has changed the atmosphere. Describe, in your own words, the change and how this change is occurring in the atmosphere.

heh some one please there no possible way I could write a paragraph on that c**p

    Don't worry about the other answer you've had. Don't be ashamed to call this "c**p" if that's the way you feel. There are some things you're interested in, and others you're not, I'm sure - we're all like that. This site lets you find people like me who don't mind doing the stuff you find boring - that's why we're here.

    Here's my answer, and I hope it helps:

    Among the gases emitted when fossil fuels are burned, one of the most significant is carbon dioxide, a gas that traps heat in the earth's atmosphere. Over the last 150 years, burning fossil fuels has resulted in more than a 25 percent increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Since reliable records began in the late 1800s, the global average surface temperature has risen 0.5-1.1 degrees Fahrenheit (0.3-0.6 degrees Celsius). Scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded in a 1995 report that the observed increase in global average temperature over the last century "is unlikely to be entirely natural in origin" and that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate."

    Climate scientists predict that if carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, the planet will become warmer in the next century. Projected temperature increases will most likely result in a variety of impacts. In coastal areas, sea-level rise due to the warming of the oceans and the melting of glaciers may lead to the inundation of wetlands, river deltas, and even populated areas. Altered weather patterns may result in more extreme weather events. And inland agricultural zones could suffer an increase in the frequency of droughts.

    As well as the problem of global warming, the burning of fossil fuels also affects the atmosphere through deteriorating air quality. Clean air is essential to life and good health. Several important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition, total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons can combine in the atmosphere to form tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog.
