Global Warming
...and all its basic elements. Furthermore, being a position paper, it also takes up a position to the issue and at the same time discusses another opposing viewpoint too. To conclude, the paper also consists of a reasonable plan of action to counter the harmful effects of Global Warming.
Introduction
Global Warming is the increase in heat-emitting gases. When the sun radiates heat to the Earth's surface, some of it is utilized by the Earth and some of it is radiated back to the sun. In this process, a concentration of these heat-emitting gases is trapped by the atmosphere and this leads towards Global Warming. The temperature of the Earth's surface rises and the ice especially on the North and South Pole starts melting. However, since Global Warming is already beginning to grow universally, it has been observed that most of the warning signs have already begun to get more and more prominent day by day.
The early warning signs for global warming include heat waves, warm weather, and rise in sea-level, coastal flooding, melting glaciers and the Arctic and Antarctic warming. All these symptoms are observed in our world today. As such, global warming is becoming more and more important day by day. However, the irony of the situation is that the very humans who are responsible for this sudden rise in global warming, are the ones who will be most affected by its devastating effects. On the other hand, there are some authorities who claim that the benefits of global warming outweigh its costs. I am against this notion and I will present my claims stating the harmful costs associated with global warming in the forthcoming pages. Global warming leads to the following harmful effects;
Intense rainstorms, decline in soil moisture, extreme heat, increase in risks associated with climate change, deforestation, increase in sea level, decrease in productivity of farms and...
