Global Warming
...and people now as fact. Generally, this warming is attributed to the Increase of greenhouse gases in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The strategies and the effectiveness for dealing with global warming effects the world on three different levels, the most obvious is the international level, then national and local level. Global warming affects everybody and should the levels continue we could see significant sea level rises.
Global warming is a serious issue in today’s society. World powers such as the United States, Japan, Canada, and Australia can usually see eye to eye with each other about global warming. Other countries, either less developed or more climate aware, do not agree with the countries that are more industrial, because they want strict regulations on air pollution that the more developed countries do not want. The more industrialized countries complain because they say that in order to keep the world going at a safe and orderly pace, they cannot have a change the lifestyle that we are used to today. Both sets of countries know that the amount of greenhouse gasses need to be lightened, but cannot come up with a viable solution Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFC's and nitrogen oxides trap some of this heat thereby warming the lower atmosphere, which in turn warms the Earth's surface. This is the 'greenhouse effect' and is essential to life, as without it the earth would be so cold it would be not fit to live in.
The reduction in carbon dioxide emission is a result of reduced energy consumption, which has started in 1950 in most plants operating in industrialized countries. The output of carbon dioxide, however, remains one of the industry's biggest environmental problems to overcome, since steel is essentially a fossil fuel-based industry. The greenhouse effect plays an essential role in preventing the planet from...
