INTRODUCTION

With global warming as the of discussion , we 'll look at the of the term

global warming , the causes and characteristics of global warming , the effects , the advantages and

disadvantages , the adaptations and mitigation and global warming in relation to the Bible

The term `global

warming ' refers to the increase in the average atmospheric temperature of the

Earth . This process as it is known today , refers to the earth 's heating process that has consistently

occurred since mid-20th century and its highly likely continuation due to the use of the word

`warming ' in its present-continuous form

The earth 's atmospheric temperature has increased 0 .74 - 0 .18 ?C (1 .33 - 0 .32 ?F ) during

the 100 years before 2005 (Michaels , J .

. 2007 . The global body that was setup to investigate and

formulate recommendations on global warming , the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC , concludes that most of the temperature increase since the mid-twentieth century is as a

result of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions . Natural occurrences such as solar variation and

volcanoes probably had an almost negligible warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a

subsequent cooling effect from 1950 onward . Majority of scientists working on climate change

agree with the IPCC 's findings and conclusions over the subject...
