taking since it could have profound impacts on the Earth, the only planetary home humans

Global Warming is, by the EPA definition, "the progressive gradual rise of the earth's

surface temperature thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in

global climate patters...the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a

result of increased emissions of greenhouse gasses." This is not used synonymously with concept of

the Greenhouse Effect, the natural process that "has kept the Earth's temperature about 59 degrees

F warmer than it would otherwise be. Current life on Earth could not be sustained without the

natural greenhouse effect." The natural Greenhouse Effect is not an environmental concern,

whereas an Enhanced Greenhouse Effect, the increase of greenhouse gas concentrations from

anthropogenic activities, and Global Warming are considered to be.

While scientists still debate on whether Global Warming is an actual occurrence, there is
