Global Warming Due to Increased Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions

***** over the continual heating up of ***** atmosphere on Earth are one ***** the most important environmental issues in ***** world today. The unpredictable climate and heat changes in the ***** are often associated with an increase of subst*****tial amounts ***** greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It is often d*****cussed that the primary reason why ***** global warm*****g situation is increasing is due to the increase of the amount of greenhouse gases present in the Earth's *****, primarily the amount ***** carbon dioxide emissions. The ********** ***** dioxide ***** in the atmosphere that causes global warming is a cause of concern for many people because of its potential dangerous effects ***** the Earth's ***** and the environment (including all living things). However, there are opposing arguments against this claim, and they refute that it is not accurate to mainly attribute the problem ***** global ***** to the increasing carbon dioxide emission caused by human activ*****ies. This paper will discuss the issue of global warming and explore what ***** ***** reasons behind the argument that carbon ***** ***** are most likely the cause ***** the global warming. This paper will also provide the necessary in*****mation needed to support the argument presented, as well as discuss and analyze ***** opposing ***** ***** are given in light of ***** controversial environmental issue. In the last part of the paper, the researcher will then contend that despite opposing claims refuting the main argument, increased carbon dioxide emissions are still the primary reason why global ***** has been prevalent over ***** years.

To further understand this *****, the reader must first know some terms and its definition ***** will be used throughout the course of this paper. According to the NOAA Paleological Program, ***** warming "refers ***** the observation that the Earth is *****, without any indication of what might be causing the warming" (2000). Th***** definition clarifies that global warming can be due to various fac*****rs, and one of these factors include the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect, meanwhile, "is a warming near the Earth's surface that results when the ***** atmosphere traps the sun's heat" (Gille 407). The greenhouse effect happens after a series of several events that will happen in the atmosphere. Light radiated from ***** sun in the form of solar or sh*****t wave radiation enters the Earth's atmosphere ***** to its surface. ***** surface will "re-radiate" the heat ***** the *****'s ***** back into the atmosphere in the form ***** infrared (or "long wave" radiation). *****, ***** radiations do not easily penetrate *****yond the Earth's atmosphere be***** certain gases, called greenhouse gases, trap these radiations in the atmosphere (Stark 1995). These greenhouse gases ***** carbon *****, water vapor, methane, and oz*****. When ***** greenhouse gases in the atmosphere ***** ***** infrared *****, heat is released (coming from these radiations), and global warming results.

Unknown to many, ***** warming is a necessary condition for the earth's atmosphere provided that it occurs in
