Global warming will add further stress to existing problems in urban areas
Global warming will worsen respiratory allergies. These potential impacts
I moved to Yuba City, California approximately twelve years ago and have lived there ever since. I chose to analyze the climate trends of Yuba City because, even though I may move away soon after graduating college, it is where my parents will continue to live and I would like to have an idea of future climate changes in their city. Yuba City is a fairly small town in Sutter County with a population of 65,416 people (United States Census, 2013). It is located on the Feather River 45 miles north of Sacramento at latitude: 39.140 and longitude: -121.617 (LatLong.net, 2015). It was founded in 1849, established as a distribution center for supplying the Gold Rush 49ers (Yuba City, 2000a).…
The temperature shifts are causing destructive weather changes throughout the world. It is estimated that our planet will be subject to extreme drought by the end of the century.…
Global warming has caused diseases to spread by ticks and mosquitoes, which can cause longer allergy seasons and more wave deaths. Also, the warming can cause more asthma because of heat, allergens, and air pollution (Borenstein). Meanwhile, global warming and air pollution have…
Since the late 1800s, the average global temperature has risen by more than 1.5°F, and there are places that have seen increases of twice this amount. This warming is responsible for numerous changes beyond the thermometer. First, not only is the air temperature rising, but ocean temperatures are as well, and this is exacerbating the melting of glaciers and sea ice. This is shifting sea levels, something also affected by changes in precipitation patterns. The strength and timing of extreme weather events are also being altered.…
As a result of climate change, the water levels and temperature will rise due to the melting of glaciers. These seemly trivial problems have been passed off as ordinary by many stating that this has naturally been occurring for a very long period of time, but yet again they’re wrong. By 2100 it is predicted that the sea levels will have risen 1-4 feel (Shaftel). This could possibly eliminate major parts of the coastline, and since around 39% of the American population lives near a coastline this could cause a major upset (What). Another effect climate change would have on the ocean would be its acidity.…
Imagine a world without the east coast of the United States. Imagine the entire state of California evacuated due to severe drought conditions. Imagine continuous forest fires wiping out wildlife in the southern states. Although these disastrous events are not present in the world today, it may be heading in this direction due to the rapid increase in temperature, also known as climate change. The issue of climate change has been playing a variety of different roles throughout the world over the last several years.…
b) (15 points). Which of these nine boundaries have already been crossed? What are the potential impacts of crossing those boundaries? 1. Climate Change.…
It is no secret that the number one danger facing todays generation is climate change. There are constant sea levels rising, global average temperatures rising, acid content in rain is increasing, and the quality of the air we breathe is decreasing. With the increasing temperatures, it is starting to melt the majority of the ice caps on both poles. The arctic poles are decreasing at an alarming rate of 12% a decade. At this rate, we will no longer have any arctic poles by the end of the century.…
There will be heat stresses that will occur even more in the future to cause people to die. The air quality will worsen because of increase in global warming. There will be increased exposure to allergens which cause a lengthening in pollen seasons that affects human health. We will also start…
Climate change is a problem that threatens our health, basic needs, and national security. Some impacts of climate change include record high temperatures in some regions of Earth, rising seas, and severe flooding and droughts. One of the major causes of climate change is the release of greenhouse gases which in turn build up in our atmosphere. They include carbon dioxide and methane. One of the major contributors is transportation.…
• The Midwest is home to 61 million people who are spread though out the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, and Missouri. • In between the years of 1900-2010 the temperature of the Midwest increased by more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. • If we do not cut back on green gases in the Midwest from the years 1979-2000 to the years of 2046-2065 the temperature will rise 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit, but if we do not cut back global warming will increase 4.9 degrees Fahrenheit with continuous growth in global emissions • The 10 most rainy days brought 40% of precipitation in a year.…
the biggest impact of climate change is the melting of glaciers; because of the high temperatures glaciers are melting and raising sea levels. The problem behind this is the lower regain are being submerge in water, pulse the glaciers themselves holds 70% of freshwater and if they melt it mighty mass with how ocean currents operates. (Transition between main points: the raise of temperature has affected many natural wildlife and the...) III. the environment has also been effected by the changes that causes global warming, with the glaciers melting Antarctic ecosystem is in disarray. A.…
Global Warming Global warming has become a major issue for us today. Global warming is an increase in temperature caused by many different natural and manmade reasons. Because of global warming, not only are humans affected, but also animals who struggle to survive and the plants who allow us to survive.…
Most people say it has nothing to do with us, but when the climate drops to a point that is above freezing level they will melt. This could affect the coast lines in the united states, it could increase the water level drastically. The Climate change is faster and more severe in the poles than in the rest of the world. The poles are warming at a rate of almost twice the earths ordinary rate increase in temperature. “The glaciers maintain enough liquid to increase the worlds sea levels …”…
How mankind is razing the beauty of nature down with its action! What has become the world we have been living on for thousands of years? It started with dinosaurs and a meteor end it. Then a new beginning raise, mankind was born.…
