Abstract
Global warming, the theory and controversy involving artificial enhancement of the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere, has emerged as one of the prime environmental issues of recent years. Proponents conclude it may produce serious worldwide problems in the near future, such as rising sea levels, geographic shifts in farming and forest regions, and changes in agricultural yields, water resources, and wetlands. Conversely, skeptics imply that any warming due to proposed increases in greenhouse gases is undetectable and unpredictable among the natural variations in long-term atmospheric temperatures.
