Cause of global warming
The phenomena. Historically, all of the Earth's climate changes were attributed to natural forces such as volcanic eruptions, Earth's orbital changes, and the amount of released solar energy. That changed with the introduction of the Industrial Revolution late in the 18th century, when human activities began to alter the global climate and environment.
The Industrial Revolution
The onset of the industrial revolution has paved way for the advancement of human technology. As more people relied on technology, numerous tools and devices were invented to make life easier for men. However, the emergence of these inventions has also resulted in the dependence of man to energy. The influx of energy usage from fossil fuels, coal, oil or gas has also resulted in the inception of human-induced rapid climate change. The demand for energy around the world is currently at more than 80% of the world-wide energy demand. Most of this is from fossil fuels such as gas, oil, and coal. Since the energy demand is too high, there hasn't any other alternative source yet with this magnitude which could replace fossil fuels in the short or medium term. Thus the drastic increase in the emission of CO2 (carbon dioxide) within the last 30 years caused by burning fossil fuels has been identified as the major reason for the change of temperature in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases and global warming
Greenhouse gases regulate our climate by trapping heat and holding it in a kind of warm-air blanket that surrounds the planet. They are necessary for keeping the Earth's temperature warm enough to support life. This occurrence is scientifically called the "greenhouse effect." The problems related to global warming which we have encountered for decades started when human activities added more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which disrupt and speeds up the natural process thereby warming the planet to more than the right temperature. Scientists revealed that as the concentrations of these gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature will also continue to climb above past levels eventually making the Earth become less habitable for humans, plants and animals. Burning fossil fuels by driving cars, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas are just some of the human activities that emit this carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in overwhelming proportion.
Global warming and its consequences
For decades, the rapid pace at which the temperature has risen had already resulted in many negative impacts to humans and the environment and this has created a world-wide concern. Most scientists believe that the warming of the climate will lead to more extreme weather patterns which may accelerate species extinction, influence the length of seasons, results in poor yield of crops, trigger flooding in costal lines, sets off abrupt climate changes and results to more frequent and violent storms.
Pantera - Cemetery Gates official Music Video
**Do NOT ask for the intro because there is no intro**Pantera - Cemetery Gatestaken from the album "Cowboys From Hell" 1990Pantera is :Phil Anselmo vocals Dimebag Darrell (RiP) guitar Rex Brown bass Vinnie Paul drumsLyrics:The reverend he turned to meWithout a tear in his eyesIt's nothing new for him to seeI didn't ask him whyI will rememberThe love our souls hadSworn to makeNow I watch the falling rainAll my mind can seeNow is your (face)Well I guessYou took my youthI gave it all awayLike the birth of aNew-found joyThis love would end in rageAnd when she diedI couldn't cryThe pride within my soulYou left me incompleteAll alone as theMemories now unfold.Believe the wordI will unlock my doorAnd pass theCemetery gatesSometimes when I'm aloneI wonder aloudIf you're watching over meSome place far aboundI must reverse my lifeI can't live in the pastThen set my soul freeBelong to me at lastThrough all thoseComplex yearsI thought I was aloneI didn't care to look aroundAnd make this world my ownAnd when she diedI should've cried and spared myself some pain...Left me incompleteAll alone as the memories still remainThe way we wereThe chance to save my soulAnd my concern is now in vainBelieve the wordI will unlock my doorAnd pass the cemetery gates

Dimebag doesnt die, he just meet Cemetery Gates...
Vodopii (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
He;s gone. And he brought the intro of this song, too :|Rest In Peace Dime!! \m/

@aceofmonstrosity best comment ever. It's funny because it's true.
HawaiianWarrior100 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
I love da power in his voice and the guitarist solos and whammy bar action
Maltegreif (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
God took a look and thought" I have Cliff for the Bass,Bon Scott for the vocals,John Bonham for the Drums, now i need the best Guitarplayer, he said at 8th dec 2004 and he took Dimebag away. Now God have long Hair,drinks whiskey and beer and smoke joints while he listen to the best Metal Heaven ever saw. And we can look Castingshows and f.... Alternative Music!

Effects of global warming
Climate Change. Scientific researches have already revealed that the effects of global warming in the 21st century and beyond are expected to be disastrous. Many of these changes are already under way. Recent studies conducted by Working Group II of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), states that the increased greenhouse gas concentrations are very likely to increase the Earth's average temperature, influence precipitation, and some storm patterns as well as raise sea levels. In addition to this, the United States National Academy of Sciences has warned that "greenhouse" warming and other human alterations of the earth system may increase the possibility of large, abrupt, and unwelcome regional or global climatic events.
Projected Impacts of Global Warming
A board organized by the U.S National Research Council in June 2006 expressed a "high level of confidence" that Earth as we know it today has experienced the hottest climate for the last 400 years, and possibly even the last 2,000 years. Studies have shown that, for the last century, there has been an increase in the average global surface temperature of roughly 0.3-0.6 degree Celsius (0.5-1 degree Fahrenheit). This global warming will potentially lead to future large-scale and possibly permanent effects at continental as well as global scales. The likelihood, magnitude, and timing is uncertain and contentious but some examples of projected impacts that will occur are more frequent and more intense heat waves, droughts, severe storms, more floods, degraded water quality, and increased spread of infectious diseases. If for the past 100 years such overwhelming effects were observed while the globe warmed up by an estimated average of merely 0.6 degree Celsius (1 degree Fahrenheit), this phenomenon will likely get worse by the year 2100. By that time, temperatures could increase by 6 degree Celsius (11 degree Fahrenheit).
Global Warming and the Society
The effects of global warming will be felt in every region worldwide and at all levels of society. Reports from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed with 90 percent certainty that global warming is now inevitable and humans are primarily accountable for a significant portion of the heat-trapping greenhouse gases that have caused global temperatures to rise significantly since the middle of the 20th century. It also made clear that while poor people worldwide will suffer most from the effects of global warming, no person on Earth will escape its consequences.
