...The term "climate change" can also refer to other periods of overall temperature change such as global cooling. In common usage, the term "global warming" refers to the warming in recent decades and its projected continuation, and implies a human influence (Plummer). In other words Global warming is gases that get stuck in the atmosphere. Those gases let all the sunlight in and only some out. While some people think global warming as a issue and a activity that is destroying our world and are scared about it but there are some people who don’t want it to stop as it might be benefiting them therefore we need new laws are needed to make sure that these companies see more benefits to stop global warming. These companies don’t want global warming to stop because it is sometimes difficult to prove the effects of global warming and many of the solutions to the problem involve the possibility of limiting industrial development and changing the way people do things that would result into a lot of work and money. The earth’s temperature has stayed within the ranges 4 to 5 degree Celsius for the last 3500 years and now it’s increasing as scientist say that the earth is recovering from a period that is know as little ice age. Some large companies like wal-mart have looked into the issue "Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."(Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart). 2005 became the warmest year in the history of the earth (Reviews of Geophysics 173-87) and April 2008 in California broke the records by more than 10 degree Fahrenheit. The green house effect plays a really big role in global warming. In 1824 Joseph Fourier was the first one to discover the greenhouse effect. The "greenhouse effect" is the result of radiation entering an atmosphere, changing state from light to heat, then becoming insulated there, causing the atmosphere to heat up. By this process many...
