“We are about half a century away from being ecologically and economically bankrupt because of global warming.” The continent of North America is enormous and has a sub-tropical climate prevalent in the sunshine state of Florida to the sub-zero climate of the Arctic. Between these two realms are a couple of very wealthy and varied ecological units in danger. Hitherto America and Canada are considered to be the world’s largest contributors to global Warming by emitting the largest amounts of greenhouse gasses resulting in warmer weather. The evident facts can be found in places changes in the rate of polar Warming in places like the melting glaciers in Montana as well as the declining marshes in the Chesapeake Bay, the bleaching of the coral reefs, and many more. North America has many more hotspots compared to anywhere else in the world. The fact that America and Canada were able to detect cautionary signs simply because of more in-depth studies and better access to data with a technologically advanced monitoring system, all this is important because it is imperative for North American to take measure now to help reduce global Warming in these regions. Global Warming is a serious threat to many ecosystems, and to many countries, ignorance is a daunting reality. Although Canada is rich in many natural resources, they are however are depleting gradually. And this, in turn, will directly be affected if a change in the climate occurs. And it is for this reason we need to decipher what ecologists and scientists mean when they say a change n climate and global Warming is to occur. It is imperative to understand the earth’s natural functioning to keep the temperature in equilibrium and the detrimental factors that affect the earth’s temperature. The atmosphere of the earth contains many various gasses maneuvered by gravity t stay in place. These gasses comprise nitrogen dominantly; second most would be oxygen and traceable amounts of argon and carbon dioxide. The atmosphere and its determinants protect the earth from harmful solar radiation and maintaining a balance in temperatures. (Simms, 2003). Climate can be broadly considered the summation of all prevalent weather conditions over a period of time. It is only recently ecologists and scientists have begun to understand the complex process of change in climate and the causes. The earth has experienced various climate changes from extreme cooling to Global Warming, which have helped assess current situations. Another important jargon is the greenhouse effect. The earth possesses energy which it receives from the sun in the form of radiation, of which much is barred by the atmosphere, but the little that does enter the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the climate. When the earth heats up, it then discharges infrared radiation; with the existence of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, all this radiation is absorbed and sent back to the earth’s surface to provide us with a relaxing climate. Without the existence of these greenhouse gasses and recycling of this radiation, the earth would be approximately 25 degrees Celsius cooler. In aggregate, the earth has gained about a whole degree in the past decade, and chances are it can increase about six degrees by the year 2100. However, this may seem rather small if we th
