Global Warming
6
Global warming and climate change can both refer to the observed century-scale rise in
7the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects, although climate
8change can also refer to any historic change in climate. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show
9that the climate system is warming. More than 90% of the additional energy stored in the climate
10system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming; the remainder has melted ice, and warmed the
11continents and atmosphere. Many of the observed changes since the 1950s are unprecedented
12over decades to millennia.
13
Scientific understanding of global warming has been increasing. In its fifth assessment
14(AR5) in 2014 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that scientists
15were more than 95% certain that most of global warming is caused by increasing concentrations
16of greenhouse gases and other human (anthropogenic) activities. Climate model projections
17summarized in AR5 indicated that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely
18to rise a further 0.3 to 1.7 C (0.5 to 3.1 F) for their lowest emissions scenario using stringent
19mitigation and 2.6 to 4.8 C (4.7 to 8.6 F) for their highest. These findings have been
20recognized by the national science academies of the major industrialized nations.
21
Future climate change and associated impacts will be different from region to
22region around the globe. The effects of an increase in global temperature include a rise in sea
23levels and a change in the amount and pattern of precipitation, as well as a probable expansion
24of subtropical deserts. Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic, with the
25continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include
26more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall, and
27heavy snowfall; ocean acidification; and species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes.
28Effects significant to humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and
29the loss of habitat from inundation.

include mitigation by

31reduction, adaptation to its effects, building systemsresilient to its effects, and possible
32future climate engineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework
33Convention on Climate change (UNFCCC), whose ultimate objective is to prevent dangerous
34anthropogenic climate change. The UNFCCC have adopted a range of policies designed to
35reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming. Parties to the
36UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required, and that future global warming
37should be limited to below 2.0 C (3.6 F) relative to the pre-industrial level. (Global warming,
382015)

The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between.
40Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even
41more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures arent waiting for some
42far-flung future. Theyre happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them
43are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, its also shifting precipitation
44patterns and setting animals on the move.
45Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening.
46
47
Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earths poles. This includes mountain
glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.

Researcher Bill Fraser has tracked the decline of the Adlie penguins on Antarctica,
where their numbers have fallen from 32,000 breeding pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.
50
51
52
Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler
areas.
53
Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.
54
55
56
Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The
insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.
Other effects could happen later this century, if warming continues.
57
58
59
Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 and 59 centimeters) by the
end of the century, and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8
inches (10 to 20 centimeters).
60
61
62
Species that depend on one another may become out of sync. For example, plants could
bloom earlier than their pollinating insects become active.
63
64
Floods and droughts will become more common. Rainfall in Ethiopia, where droughts
are already common, could decline by 10 percent over the next 50 years.
65
66
67
Less fresh water will be available. If the Quelccaya ice cap in Peru continues to melt at
its current rate, it will be gone by 2100, leaving thousands of people who rely on it for
drinking water and electricity without a source of either.
68
69
Ecosystems will change and some species will move farther north or become more
70
successful; others wont be able to move and could become extinct. Wildlife research
71
scientist Martyn Obbard has found that since the mid-1980s, with less ice on which to
72
live and fish for food, polar bears have gotten considerably skinnier. Polar bear
73
biologist Ian Stirling has found a similar pattern in Hudson Bay. He fears that if sea ice
74
disappears, the polar bears will as well.(Washington et al., n.d.)
75What Causes Global Warming?
76
77
Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They've
78looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and
79pattern of warming that's been measured can't be explained by these factors alone. The only way
80to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans.
81
To bring all this information together, the United Nations formed a group of scientists
82called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The IPCC meets every few
83years to review the latest scientific findings and write a report summarizing all that is known
84about global warming. Each report represents a consensus, or agreement, among hundreds of
85leading scientists.
86
One of the first things scientists learned is that there are several greenhouse gases
87responsible for warming, and humans emit them in a variety of ways. Most come from the
88combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for
89the most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other contributors include methane
90released from landfills and agriculture (especially from the digestive systems of grazing
91animals), nitrous oxide from fertilizers, gases used for refrigeration and industrial processes, and
92the loss of forests that would otherwise store CO2.
93
Different greenhouse gases have very different heat-trapping abilities. Some of them can
94even trap more heat than CO2. A molecule of methane produces more than 20 times the warming
95of a molecule of CO2. Nitrous oxide is 300 times more powerful than CO2. Other gases, such as
96chlorofluorocarbons (which have been banned in much of the world because they also degrade
97the ozone layer), have heat-trapping potential thousands of times greater than CO2. But because
98their concentrations are much lower than CO2, none of these gases adds as much warmth to the
99atmosphere as CO2 does.
100
In order to understand the effects of all the gases together, scientists tend to talk about all
101greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO2. Since 1990, yearly emissions have
102gone up by about 6 billion metric tons of "carbon dioxide equivalent" worldwide, more than a 20
103percent increase.(Washington et al., n.d.)
104
105
106
My Opinion :
Global Warming is dangerous thing that waiting for us in the future. We must change our
habit from using fossil fuel excessively and saving the energy from using excessively. Global
warming can be solved if we can plant and protect the forest because the forest is the lungs of the
world that can absorb the CO2 and produce the O2 that means forest can decrease the emissions
gas and decrease the effect of the global warming.
