Take a look at the beginning of this article.

Please don't copy - as it is copyrighted - but feel free to get more information from this site:

IS SOMETHING really wrong with the weather? Many fear that there is. Meteorologist Dr. Peter Werner from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research says: "When we observe global weather—the extremes in precipitation, floods, droughts, storms—and note its development, we can rightly say that these extremes have quadrupled over the last 50 years."

Many feel that the unusual weather patterns are evidence of global warming—the so-called greenhouse effect run amok. Explains the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: "The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth's average temperature would be about 60°F colder."...................

Try writing about the debate over whether it exists -- rather than taking sides, simply explain the two sides of the debate, and their best arguments. (Don't jump to the easy conclusion that either side is just a bunch of special interests. Political and special interests are indeed muddying the water, but there are real disputes between real scientists over this stuff, and while a consensus appears to be building, there are some interesting contrarian arguments out there.) A paper that introduces the reader objectively to the ongoing debate and its ramifications for our economy and way of life could be very interesting, and it's likely to be an approach that no one else in your class will take. (Most will simply write about how global warming is happening and we need to cut back on fossil fuels. Yawn. A few renegades will argue that it's all a myth. The number of people who will bother to digest both opinions and explain them? -- well, zero, if you don't do it.)

I think u shud start with the carbon cycle: The normal way in which it shud go. Then move onto how Man has disrupted the cycle. Maybe u cud elaborate on these accelerated-carbon-producing processes(burning of forests for obtaining farming land,etc) Finally, the effects of this dramatic change: here on earth and, in the atmosphere THUS leading to global warming
ALL THE BEST!!!
