an essay about global warming

Answers

Answer:

Global warming is a phenomenon where the earth’s average temperature rises up due to increased amounts of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and ozone trap the incoming radiation from the sun. This effect creates a natural “blanket” which prevents the heat from escaping back into the atmosphere. This effect is called a greenhouse effect.

Contrary to popular belief, greenhouse gases are not inherently bad. In fact, the greenhouse effect is quite important for life on earth. Without this effect, the sun’s radiation would be reflected back into the atmosphere, freezing the surface and making life impossible. However, when greenhouse gasses in excess amounts get trapped, serious repercussions begin to appear. The polar ice caps begin to melt, leading to the rise in sea levels. Furthermore, the greenhouse effect is accelerated when polar ice caps and sea ice melts. This is due to the fact the ice reflects 50% to 70% of the sun’s rays back into space; but without ice, the solar radiation gets absorbed. Seawater reflects only 6% of the sun’s radiation back into space. What’s more frightening is the fact that the poles contain large amounts of carbon dioxide trapped within the ice. If this ice melts, it will significantly contribute to global warming.

A related scenario when this phenomenon goes out of control is the runaway-greenhouse effect. This scenario is essentially similar to an apocalypse, but it is all too real. Though this has never happened in the earth’s entire history, it is speculated to have occurred on Venus. Millions of years ago, Venus was thought to have an atmosphere similar to Earths’. But due to the runaway greenhouse effect, surface temperatures around the planet began rising.

If this occurs on earth, the runaway greenhouse effect will lead to many unpleasant scenarios – temperatures will rise hot enough for oceans to evaporate. Once the oceans evaporate, the rocks will start to sublimate under the heat. To prevent such a scenario, proper measures have to be taken to stop climate change.

replace it
B. They are convinced that without the necklace their good luck will
end.
O C. They are particularly attached to the necklace for sentimental
reasons
O D. The necklace was their only possession that made them seem
Wealthy

Answers

Answer:

The Loisels are upset about losing the necklace because:

A. The necklace belongs to someone else and they feel obligated to

replace it.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. Mathilde Loisel, the main character, is a woman of elegant tastes but little money. She borrows a fancy diamond necklace from a friend of hers to attend a party with her husband. On the way back home, she somehow loses the necklace. Since her husband does not earn a lot, and since they feel obligated to replace the lost necklace, they end up borrowing money. It takes the Loisels ten years to pay their debt off. Ironically, that is when Madame Loisel finds out the lost necklace was actually a fake one, worth much less than the real one she and her husband bought to replace it.

what the two roads symbolise in the poem "The Road Not Taken"​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," the speaker finds himself facing a fork on the road where he is traveling. One road has now become two, and he is forced to choose one of them if he wishes to continue his journey.

The two roads symbolize the choices we have to make in life. Just like the speaker of the poem, if we wish to move forward, we must make decisions throughout the way. Upon choosing one road, upon making a choice, we are, most of the time, giving up on the other for good. In the poem, the speaker chooses the road less traveled by. That means he wishes to be different, to do what others are not doing, to go where they did not choose to go.

Answer:

The two roads simbolizes what desicions we need to take in our Life. When the road splits into two, the poet is required to make a decision with little knowledge of what lay ahead.

How did Theodore Roosevelt give people hope?

Answers

Answer:

Roosevelt's Inaugural Address had begun the process of restoring hope, but not everyone caught the new mood right away. The press coverage that morning largely downplayed or ignored FDR's line: “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” The New York Times and most other newspapers relegated the line to their inside pages, while focusing instead on the vivid wartime allusions he employed five times during his speech — martial metaphors that suggested that there was, in fact, plenty to fear after all. The greatest applause from the large crowd on the east side of the Capitol came when Roosevelt said that if his rescue program was not quickly approved: “I shall ask Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis: broad executive power to wage war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.”
