Essays on Climate Change

Climate change is a shift in global temperature change, a rise in temperature in parts of the continents. The changes and the rise in temperature throughout the years are as a result often caused by industrialization, high consumption of fossil fuel and new modern technology that emit Co2 gases, deforestation for farming and the huge...

Abstract— there is a natural greenhouse effect, which already keeps the Earth warmer than it would otherwise be.

These increases will enhance the greenhouse effect, resulting on average in an additional warming...
