Climate change is the single most environmental crisis of our time. It is responsible for raging storms, searing heat, ferocious fires, severe drought, and punishing floods. Climate change is posing a threat to our health, our communities, and our economy. According to scientists the main cause of climate change is from the “Greenhouse effect” and certain human activity are changing the natural greenhouse effect of our planet. Burning fossil fuels, clearing of land, lead to the heating up of the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in more evaporation and precipitation, melting of glaciers and increase sea level.…
Climate Change Climate change is one of the significant factors that have an impact on many of the Earth’s ecosystems, communities, and economies. Scientists have said that human activities are the leading cause of climate change and it should change that because if nothing changes now, it will continue to alter the environment that we depend on for survival. According to NASA, “human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet”. (NASA) Humans are a major cause in producing climate change by cutting down forests, burning of fossil fuels and driving.…
Since the 1800’s, countries around the world have taken notice to the warming in our atmosphere. With the discovery that nature and human life affect the control of climate, uncertainty still exists on whether action should be taken. If no action is taken, however, recent trends suggest that aggressive storms and temperature changes will continue to occur. Climate change, whether it's natural or self-made, is capable of creating an unstable and difficult lifestyle if left…
Climate change has become a worldwide controversial topic in the world. There have been many debates and many arguments among scientists, politicians, climatologists, and more about this topic. Most people, including myself, is that humans are causing the climate to change and it is going to negatively affect us in the future due to increase levels of carbon dioxide. While skeptics believe that humans are not the cause, the main cause is natural variability. The climate is changing because of nature and the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be a positive thing.…
Third, because there has been a significant temperature increase from the past ice age, we know that there has been a significant increase carbon dioxide. For example, when Crowley attempts to identify the correlation between temperature and inter-solar system phenomena, he emphasizes that "There is an unprecedented residual warming in the late 20th century that matches the warming predicted by GHG forcing. The temperature estimates for 2100 also exceed the most comprehensive estimates (50) of global temperature change during the last interglacial ( ~120,000 to 130,000 years ago)--the warmest interval in the past 400,000 years." This quote shows the rapid and severe warming of the Earth’s global temperature.…
Annotated Bibliography: Global Climate Change This is an annotated bibliography for research on the causes of global climate change. I am researching on human activities that are responsible for global climate change. Watson, Robert T. ‘’Human Activity Causes Global Warming’’ Global Warming. Ed.…
Within the twenty-first century, the discussion of Climate Change is a relatively controversial topic. Scientists, politicians, and environmentalists have been debating the causes and effects of the changing climate patterns for decades. And while there has been scientific evidence that proves the existence of this very real problem, some still seem to see it as a myth or untrue. But in fact, the problem is very real. Climate change can account for many of the world’s problems.…
“We shall need a substantially new way of thinking if humanity is to survive” said by the world renown scientist Albert Einstein in 1954. This proves that human-induced Climate Change has been affecting the world for decades. It is a highly discussed topic among world leaders (President Obama) and scientist everywhere (Bill Nye) and most argue about whether or not is it effecting us. During my research I think I will discover how drastically humans have negatively impacted the Earth, and also the vast variety of actions that many people have taken to reduce Climate Change. I would like to compare how dire Climate Change is in different parts of the world.…
Climate Change and Global Warming Humanity Greatest Threat Climate change and global warming are real. The world’s climate is changing, and the changes will have an enormous impact on the planet’s people, ecosystems, cities, and energy use. Average global air temperatures are already 1.5 degrees higher than they were at the start of the 20th century, and have risen about 1 degree over just the last 30 years. Scientists have discover some of the causes for these drastic changes. Greenhouse gases, according to scientists are the main culprit for climate changes.…
Global warming has been a widely talked about subject for many years. Although it has become such a controversial topic, it is indisputable that there has been a change in the climate in recent history and continues to do so. Over the past one hundred and thirty- five years that data has been collected, copious amounts of climatologists have piloted research and investigations that proves global warming is an ongoing threat to Earth as a result of humans negligence. Furthermore, there is a mounting body of evidence to prove that the cause behind global warming is man-made. Despite the growing evidence, a number of scientists still believe the current changes in the climate a part of a natural global cycle.…
Research Synthesis Essay [Global Warming] Small gaps slowly form in the ozone layer and animals are dying, and those who are still clinging on to life are in danger. These are some of the tragic disasters that Global Warming inflicts upon the world. Global Warming is the warming of the Earth. Sometimes the Earth gets overheated and animals, humans, plants, and ect.…
Anthropogenic climate change is creating a world that is inherently different from the last ten thousand years. In the marine realm, environmental monitoring programs have revealed recent changes in oceanographic conditions (water temperature, seasonality, ice cover), water chemistry (oxygenation, alkalinity, macronutrients), and local ecologies. Such programs have accumulated data for several decades, but rarely extend before fifty years. Although this interval of study captures profound changes, many have been underway since the industrial revolution (1750-1850 CE). Therefore, it is imperative to obtain a multi-centennial to -millennial historical perspective in order to provide an appropriate baseline of information of the natural marine…
Climate Change, Fact or Nonsense Climate change is a continually rising hot topic among our society and many believe if we do not act now it will be irreversible. Since the early 20th century, average temperatures have increased 1.4°F. Atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases have increased over this time period as well. Both sides in the debate over global climate agree on these points.…
GEOS2121 Essay – Question 2 Identify a pertinent environmental concern (eg. climate change, fisheries depletion, deforestation, soil degradation, river health, etc) and discuss how population changes at the global and local levels may impact on the issue. Explain why various change(s) in demographics may or may not result in improvement to the environmental management of this issue. Humanity and our environment are a complex relationship that exists in a delicate balance, yet a growing awareness of climate change and its impacts on the human population has plagued humankind recently. This anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases into our environment at a global scale is generating adverse effects.…
It has been proven that what caused climate change is not only due to human factors but natural factors as well. As in the article “causes of climate change”, it talked about how the natural and anthropogenic effects are causes of the changes in our climate. Some natural causes are the effects of plate tectonics, volcanoes, the earth’s tilt, and ocean currents. Plate tectonics, where countries and “continents were all part of one large landmass” (Causes of climate change. Retrieved November 23, 2015 ) in the past, at some point in time moved into different positions and drift apart, caused continents around the earth to experience different climate conditions than they used to experience before this shift in their positions.…
