in favour of influence that climate change to bushfires is that climate change triggers the Forest Fire Danger Index(FFDI)(1.book; Luke and Arthur 1978). In 1967 Alan MacArthur , Climatologist developed the FFDI which is varies from 1 to 100 and it is subtle to wind speed, relative humidity and temperature changes(2.book :Dowdy et al. 2009). It is a fact that increase of temperature and dryness contribute to the upward trend of FFDI. On the basis of State of climate – 2016, by the CISRO and…

Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change Research Question: Is the rate of climate change affected by the amount of carbon emission? Hypothesis: If the Earth's concentration of carbon is high, than there will also be an increase in the Earth’s land temperature because of greenhouse gases that are created over time resulting in the warm up the earth’s land. Background Information: The earth is kept warmer than it should be because of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They retain heat. One of…

Although climate change can somewhat help a civilization, it can also lead to a civilization with limited resources and eventually a downfall of a society and or a corrupt economy. Climate change can be defined in several different forms, though most would say it is a change in global or regional patterns. There can also be major health effects when climate change occurs, threatening diseases can occur after a major change in the climate. Droughts, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, and heat waves…

Understand Faulty Thinking to Tackle Climate Change was written by George Marshall for the August 2014 issue of New Scientist. At the very top of the article, with no introduction or explanation is the authors claim, which reads “ The amorphous nature of climate change creates the ideal conditions for human denial and cognitive bias to come to the fore”. The article then begins by introducing the reader to four people and their perception on climate change –Daniel Kahneman, who won the Nobel…

environment and have replaced them with industries, houses , and etc increasing the amount of carbon dioxide rapidly. This new change has erupted various catastrophic consequences such as climate change, that we are facing to this day. These destructive impacts are now reaching alarming rates and the government has come up with two solutions, cap and trade and carbon tax. Climate change, a consequence of global warming that has been haunting us ever…

Basically climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time. Climate change is the greatest threat to nature and humanity in the 21st century and it is happening everywhere. Even today, in many parts of the globe we can see some effects of climate change - melting glaciers, rising sea levels, severe storms, heavy floods, reduced snowfall in the north and a severe drought in the south. Even though the Earth's…

Comprehending Climate Change Climate change has been a pressing issue in our world. There are multiple factors that negatively impact our climate; ranging from businesses using fossil fuels, people’s negative habits, and so forth. Even though the government and a portion of society have been taking immediate action towards reducing further effects, there is still a good amount of people who are in denial of climate change or just do not understand it.

Running Head: CLIMATE CHANGE Global warming is catastrophic once no action is taken to counteract that as in the case of Alaska. Alaska State is the largest in the United States of America having 20% of the United States. This state also has a wide range of ecological and climatic conditions which include glaciers, tundra, rainforests, meadows, and boreal forest. The warming in Alaska has increased over the last 60 years more than twice of the warming in the United States as warming in…

Markowitz and Azim Shariff wrote in “Climate change and moral judgement” published in March 2012, about the issue regarding why many people and people together do not see climate change as a moral issue, and why they should. In the article the authors mention that climate change needs be seen as a moral problem. Markowitz and Shariff support their purpose of proving with reasons and evidence that moral judgment is “not well equipped to identify climate change…”(page. 243, essay summary). In…

patterns exert a tremendous influence on regional weather and climate especially in the mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere1. However, there is a significant debate over how patterns will respond to climate change. In this experiment, I will analyze climate models using a specific metric called sinuosity to determine how climate change will affect circulation patterns in the mid-latitudes. This information is impactful and important as changes in circulation patterns may raise the…
