    Print this section Global Warming or Climate Change , measurable increases in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere , oceans, and landmasses. Scientists believe Earth is currently facing a period of rapid warming brought on by rising levels of heat-trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases retain the radiant energy (heat) provided to Earth by the Sun in a process known as the greenhouse effect . Greenhouse gases occur naturally, and without them the planet would be too cold to sustain life as we know it. Since the beginning of the

    GLOBAL WARMING
    Global Warming, the Ozone Layer and Acid Rain ©1996 This is an original document written by ECO Centre staff. You will find much more uptodate research and facts and figures elsewhere.
    This fact-sheet provides an introduction to the science and effects of global warming, ozone layer depletion (and ground-level ozone pollution), and acid rain. These are three quite different problems, but are often confused with one another; each poses a major threat to the quality of life on Earth. Here, they are described together, in sufficient depth: (1) to illustrate the major dangers of each and, (2) to highlight the important differences between them. If required, more detail can be obtained from a variety of sources, including Friends of the Earth and the Department of the Environment. Briefing documents from both have been used in the preparation of this fact-sheet.
    1. Global Warming
    The greenhouse effect
    The Earth is heated by the sun; solar radiation passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed at the Earth's surface (except for a small portion that is reflected back into space). This heat is readily lost; it is emitted from the surface as infra-red radiation. Fortunately, this infra-red radiation cannot escape the atmosphere as easily as the solar radiation can enter. Instead, some of it is 'trapped' by a number of gases; these gases act in a similar, yet different, way to the glass in a greenhouse - heat is allowed in but cannot get out - hence we have the 'Greenhouse Effect'. Were it not for this natural greenhouse effect the Earth would be at least 30°C cooler and life as we know it would not exist.

    What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die. What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result, the temperature rises. The squiggle lines coming from the sun are visible light and the lines and arrows inside the car are infrared light. The sun’s heat can get into the car through the windows but is then trapped.

    • The greenhouse effect occurs naturally, providing a habitable climate.
    • Atmospheric concentrations of some of the gases that produce the greenhouse effect are increasing due to human activity and most of the world's climate scientists believe this causes global warming.
    • Over one-third of human-induced greenhouse gases come from the burning of fossil fuel to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants do not emit these gases.
    The "greenhouse effect" is the term used to describe the retention of heat in the Earth's lower atmosphere (troposphere). In colloquial usage it often refers to the enhanced global warming which is considered likely to occur because of the increasing concentrations of certain trace gases in the atmosphere. These gases are generally known as greenhouse gases*. Concentrations of them have increased significantly during the 20th century, and a large part of this increase is attributed to human sources, i.e. it is anthropogenic. * or more specifically as radiative gases.

      Global warming is the most pressing issue of our time
      Yet it has been largely ignored by society to date. A global, trans boundary, issue it is difficult to plan and regulate for matters pertaining to global warming affecting as it does current patterns of production and consumption. However it is clear that action must be taken before irreversible changes occur and it becomes too late.

      The effects of such temperature change results in increased precipitation levels, increased cloud cover and water vapour concentrations, longer monsoon seasons and rising sea levels. These climatic disturbances are all intricately interlinked with a rise in temperature; for example, the loss of ice mass from glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets consequently increases sea levels worldwide. Climatic models of radiative forcing predict that low lying coastal areas and islands will be made uninhabitable by rising sea levels while areas such as Southern Africa will be influenced by severe desertification. Ecosystems may be irreversibly altered when seasonal climatic patterns are disturbed.

    Global Warming is an interactive online lesson that will educate students about this highly debated environmental issue. Students will be given the chance to research global warming with global warming web sites linked to our lesson. Then students can put their knowledge to the test with either a classroom debate on global warming, or a written essay about the effects. Grade Level: The Global Warming lesson is designed for grades 9 through 12.
    It is designed to take 30 minutes to read through. Research using the lesson could take several hours. Overview: The Global Warming lesson is designed to give students a working definition of global warming and some of the reasons why there are two divided sides that debate about it. The bulk of information about global warming is left for the students to discover. The lesson explains the arguments of both sides and gives suggestions on topics to research and find out more. To help the students, we have provided links to web sites from both sides of the global warming debate. Those pages have links from them to other global warming pages, and so on. There is a wealth of information about global warming on the Internet, and with a little work, students can find what they need. By making the students research global warming instead of just reading it from the lesson, students learn research skills, and are free to make up their own minds about global warming. The motivation for students to do the research is their assignment.

    Greenhouse Effect Shown above is an Infrared Map of the Earth. Red areas represent regions of high heat retention in the atmosphere. This is an equatorial band because that is where the atmosphere has the most water vapor. The earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of H and CO that naturally occur. The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to the augmentation of these natural gases by human activities. What's the evidence? The energy balance in the atmosphere is shown here:
    The main components in this diagram are the following:
    • Short wavelength (optical wavelengths) radiation from the Sun reaches the top of the atmosphere.
    • Clouds reflect 17% back into space. If the earth gets more cloudy, as some climate models predict, more radiation will be reflected back and less will reach the surface
    • 8% is scattered backwards by air molecules:
    • 6% is actually directly reflected off the surface back into space
    • So the total reflectivity of the earth is 31%. This is technically known as an

    - Marcel Leroux (from What is Wrong with the IPCC? by Hans Labohm [Editor's Note: Feb. 3, 2007 . Currently, we are being bombarded with a torrent of propaganda titled "Global Warming" Every TV and radio news broadcast, every TV talk show that touches on politics, every radio talk show, every major news stand magazine and newspaper are singing in almost perfect unison: "The Sky is Falling Unless We Do Something Soon about Global Warming"! I just spoke on the phone yesterday with Dr. John Coleman, author of The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations Shaping the Moral, Cultural, Political, and Economic Decline of the United States of America . He vigorously concurred that the 'Global Warming' blitz is a classic Tavistock propaganda campaign of the highest priority. Apparently, no effort or amount of money or 'expert scientific opinion' is being spared to bring us this 'inconvenient truth' so that we might all become convinced that the story line laid out by the propagandists is true, and therefore we must acquiesce to the new "regulations" or laws that will be set in place to "prevent the catastrophes that will surely ensue if we don't curb Global Warming"'. I've been hearing some of the most absurd and ludicrous statements over the radio from Global Warming 'experts'

    Global Warming and Climate Change
    By researchers at Carnegie Mellon University
    Published in 1994
    This brochure was prepared by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University to explain the issue of global warming and climate change. The key points are covered in the three parts that follow:
    The issue at a glance...
    Part 1: Climate
    • Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. On average, this may warm the earth and change the climate in other ways. For example, it might change the severity and duration of storms or droughts.
    • Other human activities, such as cutting down forests, and growing rice, and raising cattle, may have the same effect, but are less important.
    Part 2: Impacts
    • If the climate changes heating, cooling, water use, and sea level will be affected. In wealthy countries, the average cost would probably be small, although some people and regions might have high costs and others might receive large benefits. In some poor countries, the cost could be very high.
    • A large or fast change in climate will have a big effect on plants and animals in the natural environment.
