Essay on Climate Change

The main reason I chose Global Warming/Climate Change as my topic is that I have been taught that global warming is not real, but so many think it is; I decided to look into it myself. Evidently, it is a pretty hot topic all over the world. The sides of the issue are whether global warming is real or not. According to NASA, “global warming describes the average global surface temperature increase from human emissions of greenhouse gases” (NASA). The debate of whether it is real or not has…

Earth is a planet that has relatively stable temperatures. This is possible because of Earth’s atmosphere as it consists of a thin layer of gases that forms a “cloak” around the planet. There are 97 percent of climate scientists that agrees that people on Earth has changed its atmosphere in a considerable way over the past two centuries. The results of this is due to the greenhouse effect that causes global warming (Lallanila, 2015b). But what is the greenhouse effect? What is the greenhouse…

it will affect you and me too. Climate change to you right now may not seem like a big deal to your life at the moment, but some of the things you may read here, could change the way you think. Even though people think the world is not changing climate, there are true facts that are leading to it, it is necessary that the community should consolidate to prevent the climate from increasing while farmers are adapting for crops in a warmer world because the climate is increasing gradually as well…

Climate change is the biggest threat to life on earth. It is responsible for 300,000 deaths a year, 1,000 of which are children, and costs the world economy 125 billion dollars a year. By 2030, when I’m 27, climate change would have already claimed 100 million lives and decreased global economic growth by 3.2%. Along with it costing money and lives, it is also a threat to peace around the world. A study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found that natural disasters like…

(a) Previous studies on climate change Climate is an essential determinant for agriculture. In regions like Central America, the climate is quite variable and there are problems related to droughts and floods that directly affect food production. Also, climate related insect infestations, weeds and diseases tend to cause damage in developing countries such as those in Central America (Diana et al., 2013). The specific case of South America was addressed by Mendelsohn and Seo (2007). Using data…

Climate change dates back to the mid-1800‘s, when the industrial revolution began to take place all around the world. Since then, the lives of human and animal species have been negatively affected. Events such as natural disasters, the melting of ice in polar regions, and the change in weather effect the living conditions of everyone. Climate changes in polar regions have caused the most damage compared to any other region due to its location in regard to the sun. Although there are differing…

Global warming, more recently referred to as “climate change”, is a big issue debated by scientists today. Although it may not be a huge threat to our generation, climate change certainly has the power to affect future generations if we are not careful about protecting our atmosphere, starting now. Most people are familiar with the “Greenhouse Effect”, meaning when radiation from the sun is directed towards Earth’s surface some is reflected away, while most is absorbed into the greenhouse gases…

This investigation is about the changes in climate and if human/anthropogenic causes are the reason for its change, and to what extent they are responsible. This is an issue because a change in climate has an immediate effect on every aspect of our lives. Due to this, it is critical that understand what effect we are having on the environment and to the future of life on earth. CHEMICAL BACKGROUND The burning of Fossil Fuels plays a huge part in climate change. (Evans, McCann, & Morton,…

The CSKT Climate Change Strategic Plan is the result of a tribal council resolution made by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT). These tribes currently reside in the in Flathead Reservation of Montana and their original territories were located in what is now western Montana, northern Idaho, and parts of southern Canada. The CSKT Climate Change Strategic Plan was created to develop climate adaptation policies for the tribal government. It is particularly concerned with the…
