Severe weather

virtual raping of our natural resources; we do not do it for survival, that would be excusable, but for comfort. One side says that climate change is an absolute fact and here is the data. The other side says that there has always been a severe fluctuation in the weather, and here is the data. I am not certain of Global Warming or Climate Change; I assume the real truth is somewhere in the middle. However, in an ever changing landscape of ideological beliefs, there is one inescapable…

Preserving the Planet: A Moral Issue As individuals, each person does not fully realize their impact on the collective whole of humanity. In both negative and positive aspects, people do not recognize the destructive potential of their behaviors, nor can they always predict the beneficial effects of their constructive actions. This is especially true in regards to the environment and climate change. As a human race, people must realize that certain lifestyles and production of materials are…

already showed impact in Australia and New Zealand including water stress, shrinking glaciers, rising sea level, low rainfall patterns, and an increase of fires and heat waves. Scientists are informed that climate change will cause increases in extreme weather and a more frequent pattern. Decisions made today about…

The biggest effect of the carbon in the atmosphere is the change in weather patterns. Humans, by putting the carbon in the air, have been causing the atmosphere to rain less or more in some areas of the planet; it also causes varying weather patterns. Recent climate tests have shown that reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would give the Earth a wetter climate in the short term…

As great as it is to walk outside in the middle of November in the mid-west and be welcomed by 70 degree and sunny weather, we should be questioning this because it is obviously obscure. There have been many studies to prove that temperatures across the world have been increase slowly which is leading to drastic changes; the artic is melting causing the ocean levels to rise, some wildlife species are dying off, droughts are occurring which causes wildfires, and the list goes on. One of the main…

Climatic Deviations Lead to Conflict Scholarships associating environmental stress to conflicts begun to emerge in the 1980s (Myers 1986, Mathews 1989, Bekure 1989, Christiansson and Tobisson 1989, Ornas 1989, Prah 1989, Mascarenhas 1989). One study considered that watersheds, croplands, climate, and other factors that seldom figure in the minds of political leaders rank alongside military approaches as crucial to a nation 's security (Myers 1986). Another postulated that environmental strains…

Have you ever seen water come up storm drains in sunny weather in the middle of the day? Or how about 70,000,000 people being stranded on rooftops? This is a problem people are beginning to face every year because of climate change. Climate change is greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere, causing earth’s temperature to rise. Climate change is a huge issue because it causes many problems that destroy lands and waters, and kill animals, plants, and humans or cause them to relocate. It is so…

Society is currently facing new obstacles that were never faced in the past. One that has become a major issue world wide is the environmental climate changes due to global warming. Dr. Guy McPherson, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology & evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, informs “ Climate change is the sickness of our civilization, and the prognosis is bleak”(McPherson par 1). Even though, people tent to ignore the environmental changes that Earth is going…

Technology makes our lives easier but hurts the environment. When innovators create technology, many people use these products, which negatively impacts society. When people use more electricity than they need to, the vast amount of electricity being used affects the pollution and the environment, like when a computer is on for too long, it can burn out or slow down, which is expensive to fix. Old technologies have been hurting the environment. We use so much technology; it has negatively…

now or face severe consequences in the future. Before climate change can be discussed, it is important to understand what a climate is and how it differs from weather. Many people may use the two terms interchangeably, and while the two words are related, they are not the same. The textbook defines climate as the long-term conditions (over at least 30 years) of aggregate weather over a region, summarized by averages and measure of variability; a synthesis of the succession of weather events we…
