Global Warming and Pollution

Global warming is messing with the planet’s thermostat.
That warning came Thursday from Richard Spinrad, head of research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in releasing the annual update of science’s Arctic report card.
Warming temperatures continue in the polar north, changing wind patterns, melting sea ice and glaciers and affecting ocean and land life, the [...]

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula: CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth’s atmosphere in this state.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted in a number of ways. It is emitted naturally through the carbon cycle [...]

Earth has warmed by about 1ºF over the past 100 years.  The Earth could be getting warmer on its own, [...]

Air pollution may be helping the fight against global warming by enhancing the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide, scientists say.
Since the 1960s, increased levels of atmospheric pollution have enhanced plant productivity by as much as one quarter, research has found.
In terms of carbon dioxide, this means that an extra [...]

Our planet is suffering a process of global warming do to the atmospheric pollution produced by the industry emission of gases. A great threat for the planet is global warming producing what is known as the greenhouse effect. By global warming we understand “The increase in earth temperature produced by the burning of fossil fuels [...]

The Gallup poll has been asking Americans what they think about global warming for more than a decade. Is public concern increasing? One might think so, given the past year’s tsunami of scary climate science and the push to laws to control planet-heating greenhouse gases.
Not so, according to a survey of 1,021 adults questioned March [...]
