... in the atmosphere longer than methane. The computer simulations that are employed to predict the future climate places the figures at a very alarming position. Considering that aspects such as population, technology, and economic positions of the world are bound to change, the results would be expected to depict a much warmer and worse future climate. The temperatures are expected to rise ... certain, the high economic implication of implementing mitigation measures, the argument that the future generation will adapt, and the fact that this problem was started by the past generations.

... , it was during the 1800's that "greenhouse gasses- began to be studied and the idea of global warming was first introduced. But, during 1940 through the 1970's, worldwide cooling dampened scientific interest in the greenhouse effect. Some climatologists even predicted a new ice age. So in light of all this evidence, is global warming actually occurring? According to Accu-Weather, the world ... human-induced warming; more CO2 yields much higher surface temperatures; climate models are correct but are limited by computer technology; the climate will be more extreme; and, summers will be e...

... last summer (Steinhauser). Efforts should be made to eradicate any skepticism about global warming. Despite all the critics and propaganda, global warming is real and can be back by hard, scientific data. Currently, carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere are rising to unprecedented levels due to human activity and industrialization (Cooper). In turn, these levels contribute to an increase in global ... planning for our future.

... . (Cunningham, 2000) In addition to these aerosol-producing events, variations of solar irradiance can account for some of the general warming trend seen in the past century. However, since the technology to perform these calculations has only been in existence for approximately twenty years, much of this pattern had to be extrapolated. From current satellite observations, sunspot blocking, facular emission, and ... the consequences that a warmer earth would bring about, research of this nature needs to be ongoing.
