Topic:- Global warming and its impact upon the Earth.
Introduction
Global warming is basically considered as the rise the temperature of oceans, atmosphere
and earth surface at constant basis. Among the all the main remarkable change that has been
identified is melting down of ice and constantly increasing temperature across the world. Along
with this, it has been analysed that global warming is also resulting in the constantly increase of
the sea level due to the melting of ice into the sea (Vuille and et. al., 2015). Global warming is
increasing day by day at continuous basis that is ultimately placing long lasting effects over the
planet Earth. It has been analysed that global warming rises in the form of increase in heating of
the atmosphere, oceans and Earth’s surface. The main reason behind the increase of global
warming is human based activities such as burning of fossil fuels which increases level of carbon
dioxide, methane and rest of the other green house gases which ultimately affecting atmosphere
in negative manner. At one human activities are increasing global warming at the regular basis
which is reversely placing negative over them only in the form of uncertain climatic changes that
hampers their regular based activities as well as business performances too. In addition to this,
increasing global warming is also becoming major reason of constantly increasing health issues
as people are getting affected due to this allot (Brown and Caldeira, 2017). Also, in many cases it
has been seen that situations are that much harsh many one lost their lives too due to it. It is
highly important for every individual to take it as their own responsibility to take care of the
environment and practice only those activities which is not placing any sort of harm at
themselves or at the environment.
Problem statement
Every investigation initiates with the specific motive or the problem that is being faced
by individual, company, researcher or the society. With reference to the present investigation, it
can be said that global warming is determined as the emerging issue across the world which is
not placing influence over the environment, individuals, society as well community (Silanikove
and Koluman, 2015). The main problem related to this current situation is that enhancing global
warming is ultimately placing influence over the Earth which simply means that its constantly
increasing temperature will reduce chances of human life survival at the same planet. In order to
developing deeper understanding over the same and finding out proposed solution over it

investigator has developed lucrative research aim, objectives and questions. Also conducting
appropriate research over this topic will help investigator in figuring out solution towards the
same and exploring various ways which leads to the development of better living place for
people. The developed appropriate research aim, objectives and questions are presented as
below:
Research Aim:
“To determine the impact of global warming on the Earth”.
Research Objectives:-
 To developing understanding about the concept of global warming.
 To determine several consequences that arises due to global warming on Earth.
 To ascertain various ways through which influence of global warming on Earth could be
reduced.
Research Questions:
 Explain about the concept of global warming?
 What are the several consequences that arise due to global warming on Earth?
 What are the various ways through which influence of global warming on Earth could be
reduced?

Literature Review
Literature review is examined as the effectual process through which detailed knowledge
on the particular topic has been developed with the usage of secondary sources. In this section,
investigator focuses on gathering information from different sources like books, magazines,
online articles, journals, newspapers and other published areas (Huang and Kang, 2017). This
section has been seen as the most important section in every investigation as with the help of this
it is easier for the investigator to gather maximum information within lesser period of time along
with the authentic information. With reference to the current project conducted on the topic
global warming and its impact over the earth. Here, Range of literature sources has been
gathered mainly from books, journal, online articles etc.
Concept of global warming
On the basis of views expressed by MacMillan, A., (2016), it has been analysed that global
warming is mainly seen as the constant increase in the temperature at the extensive level that is
making it difficult for the human beings as well as other people to survive at the Earth. In other
words it can be said that global warming mainly arises when carbon dioxide as well as other air
pollutants are constantly increasing overall temperature of Earth (Harvey, 2018). The main
causes behind global warming are burning of fossil fuels, excessive pollution, increase in
methane within the environment and many others that ultimately increases over all temperature
of the planet and places negative influence over the human being and their living pattern.
Several consequences that arises due to global warming on Earth.
From the perception presented by the author named as Zhou, Zelinka and Klein, (2016),
increasing temperature at the Earth is also seen as the global warming that is affecting overall
living beings as well as the planet too. Here, it has been analysed that main consequences
associated with the global warming that is mainly seen on Earth are extremely hotter days,
frequent changes in the weather, constantly increasing sea levels, existence of species from the
planet, food and farming, increasing range of health issues and many others. It has been analysed
if these consequences started increasing day by day then it would definitely bring situation to the
day when no one will be able to live on the Earth.

Various ways through which influence of global warming on Earth could be reduced
As per the information given by Denchak, M., (2017), it has been analysed that there are
range of ways that must be taken into consideration by every individual in order to take
appropriate initiative towards reducing global warming and its influence ,over the Earth as well
as loving beings. At first it is analysed that people are required to speak about this topic and
discuss it more and more with one another so that it awareness among people can be enhanced
which will further contribute in determining better solution towards the same in appropriate
manner (Chadburn and et. al., 2017). At next, it has been analyzed that businesses are required to
make use of renewable energy so that non renewable resources can remain safe and available for
the future generations too. Also, it is highly important to develop those efficient appliances
which will not place any sort influence over the environment in appropriate manner.
Research Methodology
Research methodology is considered as the appropriate procedure which clearly expresses
that how investigator will carry out whole research with the usage of appropriate methodology.
This section also provides contribution in conducting whole research in the systematic manner
that ultimately results in the attainment of the core research problem for which this research has
been carried out (Boysen and et. al., 2017). With reference to the current project which is
conducted to develop understanding over the global warming and its influence over the Earth.
For performing it in lucrative form investigator has emphasised on making use of several
research methods that will collaboratively contribute in obtaining best results within lesser period
of time. All relative methods used in this investigation are specified as below:
Data collection methods: Data collection is explored as the effective method of
gathering required information on the particular topic by making use of several methods. This is
generally happened with the usage of type of methods like Primary and secondary method of
data collection. With the motive of conducting present research in adequate manner researcher
have made use of secondary method of data collection as it is supportive in gathering maximum
information within the lesser period of time. Various sources used for conducting secondary
research are books, journal, online articles and other published data on the current topic that is
global warming and its impact on Earth (Park and et. al., 2018). The main motive of using
method is to gather maximum information within lesser period of time that will contribute in

obtaining desirable information on the chosen research so that valid outcome towards the same
can be developed in appropriate manner.
Types of investigation: This is another form of method through which investigator
analysis over gathered information in the detailed manner. There are mainly two forms of
methods through which overall information is analysed that is qualitative and quantitative. In
context of present research qualitative method has been adopted by investigator as supports in
gathering information by involving perception of different individuals over the same topic that
ultimately contributes in drawing valid outcome on the same.
Research philosophy: This simply shows the overall nature or belief that has been
carried out by investigator in order to conduct the research in adequate manner. Research
philosophies are two types that are interpretivism and positivism. For performing present
research in adequate manner interpretivism type of philosophy has been taken into consideration
(Schleussner and et. al., 2016). The main reason behind choosing this type is that it provides
support in evaluating overall information effectively along with the justification towards the
findings.
Research design: This seen as the effective structure which is adopted by investigator
for conducting present research in appropriate manner. Descriptive, exploratory and
experimental are three types of research design among which investigator follows one method
for conducting their proposed research effective manner (Green, Camilli and Elmore, 2012).
With reference to the present investigation researcher makes use of explanatory type of research
design that provides support to investigator in gathering overall information in detailed manner.
The main reason behind choosing this method is obtain valid outcome over research topic
effectively by making use of detailed information. It also provides support in gathering overall
information in authenticate as well as reliable manner.
Ethical consideration: This section of methodology includes information on the ethical
values that are considered by investigator for carrying out present research in appropriate
manner. Here, researcher has made use of secondary research. While gathering information from
secondary information main concern of the researcher related to ethical values are making use of
authenticate sources, preferring on recent year articles books and journals and articles so that

fresh information can be included in the study with the motive of carrying out research in
appropriate manner.
Discussion
As per the overall developed detailed information in the literature review section it has been
analysed that global warming is acknowledged as one of the most influential problem at Earth
that is simply placing influence over the loving of human beings as well as other living beings
within the environment. It can be said that global warming is one of most emerging problem for
whole planet that could also result in survival issues of all (Desmet and Rossi-Hansberg, 2015) .
It is highly important for individuals to focuses on incorporating some of the main steps that
helps them out in executing theirs work in such a manner that is not at all hampering the
environment in any manner. Also, incorporation of environmental friendly activities must be
incorporated so that it does not enhance temperature and results in the reduction of global
warming. As a result, it would be easier for the people to remain safe at Earth.
Conclusion
On the basis of overall information expressed in the current project, it can be said that global
warming is the emerging issue across the world which directly placing major influence over the
Earth. Burning fossil fuels, deforestation and many others are the main reason behind increasing
temperature at Earth. Here, it has been analysed that appropriate discussion on the global
warming, making use of renewable energy and development of efficient appliances which does
not releases harmful gases are the main ways through which influence of global warming can be
reduced at Earth.
