Global warming is a social problem because of many factors. Factors like emissions for example, emissions tests are only in a few states. With more emissions tests on vehicles, this would lessen the global warming, not by leaps and bounds but it would help. If more people recycled, and cleaned up waters this could help.
AnswerGlobal means 'pertaining to the world, or worldwide. So like, global warming...well, it's happening all over, or will be...and the universal dream is global, because everyone wants world peace, and no third world countries, etc. Or well...the majority does. Hence, it's still world wide, so it's global.AnswerUsually, the word 'global' refers to anything that has some kind of impact on everyone or every place in the world. for example, there is a local economy where you live. There are small businesses, individual service providers like hairdressers, doctors, carpenters, etc. There are also banks and lending companies that probably do business across state lines. Some may do business on an international level. Each nation's policies and practices regarding international business have a potential impact on other nations. So there is something called the 'global economy'.Global warming is another common term and it has to do with the human impact on our planet's self-regulating systems. Interestingly, there are connections between the 'global economy' and 'global warming'.
Yes, we have known about global warming since about the middle of last century, but governments have been slow to act. Politicians rarely can see beyond the next election, and action on global warming takes some years before we see a result. Now, as global warming and its effects are beginning to be more obvious governments may act.
The evidence for global warming is now considered "exceptionally strong and beyond doubt" and actions this decade will determine the impact of climate change for the rest of the century . Greenhouse gas emissions must peak and then begin to fall rapidly within the next few years if the world is to avoid dangerous warming of up to 7 degrees and beyond in his century. "If you leave the peaking year until 2020 you are going to have to reduce emissions at 9 per cent a year after that," Professor Will Steffen said. "I think this is almost impossible to do unless you put the economy on a war footing." This provides us with a clear incentive and advantage in doing something now to slow global warming while it is still possible without social and economic upheaval. The only real disadvantage in doing something now to slow global warming is political. Politicians hate taking action that may have a short-term cost to anyone, but for which the greatest benefits will accrue after they have retired from political office.
No, there are very little hidden costs. geothermal energy is clean and non-polluting. It releases no carbon dioxide (CO2) to cause global warming. It has no social costs, as it is a renewable energy source. This makes it a very suitable substitute for fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is causing climate change.
The normal greenhouse effect does nothing to harm our health. It keeps the earth warm enough for life, and it has done that for thousands of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming, which is causing climate change, will have serious effects on our health.increased numbers of heat waves causing thousands of deaths, especially the old, the very young, and the sick.the spread of malaria mosquitoes, as the countries grow warmer.
Global warming is part of environment. Social Studies is about environment so that is the reason. Many are claiming that global warming is a function of the behavior of a society. They claim that the planet is warming because of the greenhouse gases that are being created and that as a society we need to change our actions. It is only with absolute government authority over even the most personal aspects of your life that we can hope to stop, or even slow, global warming. Comparative economic and political systems is one facet of social studies.
Global issues are things like poverty, child labour, animal and child abuse, global warming (pollution, deforestation), intensive farming etc.
Global warming, Deforestation and Decreasing Biodiversity,etc.
Climate change can be considered social because it disproportionately affects vulnerable communities and exacerbates existing social inequalities. Its impacts, such as extreme weather events and food insecurity, often hit marginalized groups the hardest. Addressing climate change requires understanding and addressing social barriers to adaptation and mitigation efforts.
population and polution caused by it, is the major problem today.you can think upon it that every social problem takes birth from increasing population directly or indirectly.please think upon my answer!!

Any environmental, social, economic, or political issue can have an impact to the rest of the world, hence, the "global problem".
The potential social effects are enormous from increased global warming. Whole populations are going to be starving and developing countries' governments are not rich enough to feed them. Whole countries will be trying to move to better climatic areas. Millions of climate refugees will be hammering at the door of the cooler countries.
The worst consequence of global warming is the possible extinction of the human race because of excess of CO2 in the air, rising ocean levels wiping out certain areas and global temperature increase to a level that is not suitable for human biological existence.
yes
Any one person's electricity consumption makes an extremely small contribution to global warming, but any one person can also make a contribution to minimising global warming by reducing electricity consumption as much as possible. Every small increment in greenhouse gas emissions is moving us closer to the future when uncontrolled global warming could have catastrophic effects on our economic and social wellbeing. Electricity is usually generated by burning fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - releasing additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the continued release of new carbon dioxide into the atmosphere results in global warming. Global warming, in turn, causes climate change - more frequent storms, flooding, drought, and rising sea levels. If allowed to continue out of control, this will have a catastrophic effect on our economic and social wellbeing.
We need to slow down or avoid global warming because of the harm it is already doing to our planet and will continue to do as the world gets hotter. Global warming sounds so benign. Who would not want warmer winters and balmy summer days? But the long-term global trend to higher average temperatures poses a real risk to our economic and social well-being, as well as to the native creatures with which we share the planet.
