Idenitify the problem of global warming and how are we effected?

Question

hey i am having trouble with my hw and i don't understand this question because in my country we dont know what this is

Answer 1

Global Warming is big holes in the ozone layer of Earths atmosphere. We are affected because it causes dramatic change in temperature and is really bad.

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint.

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

Answer 3

Global warming means the whole world is experiencing a change in temperature; as the name has said, temperature is rising, 'drastically'.

It means that our ozone layer is depleting, more UV rays are entering our world, and that temperature has rises.

Ice are melting in the northern and southern cold regions of the world. We are experiencing rapid weather and climate changes; some countries experience hot season when its a rare occassion too often in the past few years, others the opposite.

Answer 4

High CO2 content in the atmosphere caused by air pollution in cars & industry, worldwide collection and irresponsible disposal of raw materials, traps in too much heat from the sun that was supposed to bounce back into outer space. This causes melting of the polar ice caps, too much fresh water flowing into the ocean currents, more unusual extreme weather conditions, higher temperature overall of the planet, destroying the natural chain of living things, eventually affecting food and water supply for people, causing war, massive human migration, economic depression, increase in health problems, birth defects and gradual death.  Yeah, sucks to be an earthling.

Answer 5

It's a natural change in the earth's climate that happens in cycles.

In the past life has thrived during these warm cycles and life that isn't used to the warmer temps often just adapts.
