Though there is already a lot of perplexity all over the world due to global economic recession, environment crisis is also calling for immediate attention these days. The consequences of the whooping average temperature because of global warming can now be witnessed in some parts of the world. Heat wav in Europe in 2003 is one example. From food crisis to increase in health hazards, there are many challenges in the pipeline due to a constant inc...

A three-kilometre thick cloud of brown soot and other pollutants hanging over Asia is darkening cities, killing thousands and damaging crops but may be holding off the worst effects of global warming, the UN said on Thursday. The vast plume of contamination from factories, fires, cars and deforestation contains some particles that reflect sunlight away from the earth, cutting its ability to heat the earth. "One of the impacts of this atmosp...

The effects of global warming in the 21st century and beyond is expected to be devastating, according to the summary of a scientific report published on April 6, 2007 the main group of scientists global climate change.

U.S. and global annual temperatures are now around 1.0 F degrees warmer than they were in 1900. The rate of warming has accelerated over the past 30 years, increasing at a rate of three times faster than the century-scale trend. It's likely the increase in CO2 emissions has something to do with that rate increase. According to an MIT study, there's been a 100% increase in the intensity and duration of hurricanes and tropical storms since the 197...

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. The global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last 100 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very...
