Part A – Climate Change
1. How is climate different from weather? How are climate and weather related?
The major difference between climate and weather is the measure of time. Weather is considered to reflect the conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time experiencing it outside every day, and the climate is how the atmosphere behaves relatively over an extended period of time over a specific time frame, breaking it up into weeks, months and years.
Climate and weather are related as they both describe the atmospheric conditions and characteristics of a specific area.
2. What is the greenhouse effect? How is amplified warming different from natural warming?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process warming up the Earth …show more content…
How will humans be impacted by changes in the climate? How will the environment and ecosystems be impacted by global warming?
Individuals will be impacted by mainly in health as the climate changes play a significant role in people 's health and natural disasters. A warmer climate is expected to increase the risk of heat related illnesses and death as well poor conditions for air quality. Climate change is likely to increase the frequency and strength of extreme natural events such as floods, droughts, and storms that threaten human safety and health as well as costal religions.
The impacts of climate change affect ecosystems in a variety of different ways. For example, warming could naturally force species to migrate to higher latitudes in the mountains where temperatures are much more manageable to the species survival. As well as sea level rises, saltwater could enter into a freshwater system, a key substance for the species. This may force some species to relocate or perhaps die, thus showing how much of an impact global warming has.
5. On the global level, how do CO2 emission levels differ from country to country? Which countries produced the most total CO2 in 2000? Which countries are expected to see a significant increase in their CO2 emissions by …show more content…
Solar power have many economical benefits as it has a significant advantage over fossil fuels. Solar power cost is dropping dramatically over the years providing buyers to save money. Solar power also helps reduce the environmental costs pollution and global warming, that are associated with fossil fuels.
Can this method of energy production be utilised worldwide?
Solar energy is already utilised worldwide. Germany is the number one country to have the highest capacity of solar power followed by fellow Europe countries, Spain and Italy as well as Japan and United States of America. Due to the huge number of advantages that solar power provides, countries worldwide have decided to use this renewable energy and a higher capacity of solar power is expected to be used in the future.
3) Make recommendations for the United Nations member detailing what you think their countries should do about scientific research, funding new technologies and energy sources, federal legislation concerning emissions, environmental impacts, etc. How will countries from different parts of the world need to respond
