Facts About Heat Wave
Extreme heat pushes our body beyond its bounds. Under normal conditions, the internal thermostat of our body produces sweat that evaporates to cool the body. In high humidity and extreme heat, however, the evaporation slows down and our body must work doubly hard to maintain our normal body temperature. Extreme heat can kill. In 2003, Western Europe had one of the hottest summers ever recorded in ... [Read More]
How Will Global Warming Affect The World
If we will not make great efforts to try to stop the green house gases to lump over the atmosphere, chances are, we also cannot stop global warming. The talk about global warming has somewhat hushed down, but this doesn't mean that this phenomenon is no longer a distinct possibility for us. The threat of global warming will live on. And with it lies the 5 deadliest effects that it will carry... [Read More]
The Irony of Global Warming
Water will be a crucial resource once global warming worsens. It is said that as the climate turns warmer, there will also be more rainfall and glaciers will melt. Though this may sound like water will be abundant, it will be the other way around. According to the Scripps Institution for Oceanography, if there is a seasonal change on the flow of rivers, that can mean that water may be abundant in ... [Read More]
Climate Change May Not Boost Middle East Rainfall
The original idea that global warming will cause flood and water shortages in the Middle East is being refuted by an Australian climate scientist. The scientist's findings suggest that rainfall might actually even increase in key parts of the area. According to the most recent projections from the IPCC or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, storm activity in the Eastern Mediterranean wi... [Read More]
Destruction Of Greenhouse Gases Over Tropical Atlantic May Ease Global Warming
Everyday we are constantly bombarded by the negative effects of global warming. However, scientists from the UK's National Centre for Atmospheric Science and Universities of York and Leeds, has some very positive news to share. Vast amounts of ozone - 50% more than what is predicted by the world's-state-of-the-art climate models - are being destroyed in the lower atmosphere over the Tropical Atlan... [Read More]
Experts Deny Link Between Floods and Global Warming
Though the flooding in central England nearly a year ago were very severe, a scientific analysis on the event say that they cannot be linked to climate change. The magnitude of last July's floods prompted experts to say that they were due to climate change and an indication of similar summer-time flooding to come. But, as per the report published by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingf... [Read More]
How you Can Fight Global Warming
We could deny it and say we are just having climactic mood swings or we could just accept the fact that all of this weird weather is caused by, if not just leading to, global warming. Unlike Al Gore, we do not have the resources to preach the 'unconvenient truth' to a mass audience. However, we could do our own share as a citizen of the world in preventing from making the situation worse. Here are... [Read More]
Practical Solutions to Global Warming
We have seen and heard the mostly-negative effects of global warming all over the world. We may experience more heat waves, more severe flooding, more extensive droughts, as well as changes in the coastline and rivers. However, it is not too late to act and procrastination is not an option.Humankind has been contributing to an increase in global temperatures, mainly due to more heat-trapping gases... [Read More]
Effects of Global Warming
There are over 100 effects of global warming, ranging from the small-scale to the grandest of things, which can affect the Earth, the environment, and human life. Some of the effects may already be occurring, while others are being perceived to occur.As the Earth's climate is projected to change dramatically over the years, the planet (and everything and everybody living on it) may experience larg...

What Causes Global Warming?
Global warming has become one of the most controversial topics in the recent years. It has been a subject of debate among the scientific and even political circles on whether or not humanity should step up in curbing the effects of global warming. But how did we have global warming in the first place? What happened to our Earth that it resulted to an increase in global temperatures and rising sea ... [Read More]
