3.0 - The Science of Climate Change 3.1 – What is Climate Change? The earths climate is changing and forever will be due to neurogenic and anthropogenic changes. Climate change is just a cycle, that will occur from neurogenic changes however humans are dramatically increasing this cycle warming the atmosphere and ocean (IPCC, 2013). Currently greenhouse gasses: carbon dioxide(CO2), methane(CH4) and nitrous oxide(N20) have been released in large amounts into the atmosphere, warming planet…

In his article, “The 975 Solution”, Ian Tuttle provides the scientific evidences that cast doubt on the claim by the White House that, “Ninety-seven percent of scientists concur and agree that there is global warming and anthropogenic impact.” Since the satellite measuring the temperature shows no significant warming change for the last 19 years, global warming alarmist called the situation “The Pause.” On the other hand, 97% of climate scientists declare that the earth is warming up, and it is…

loss from anthropogenic means will result in numbers of Eucrossorhinus dasypogon dropping as they will not have a place that is an integral part of their lives and would likely have a higher predation rate due to the physicality of the shark. In order to keep biodiversity maintenance and sustainability are two factors that must be achieved and in nature without any human contact this can be achieved, with only small factors (like natural disasters) can influence the biodiversity; anthropogenic…

called Livestock the long shadow, livestock production is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions caused by anthropogenic emission, which is higher than the percentage caused by transportation (Takahashi, 2013). The greenhouse gas released from livestock production includes Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, Nitrous oxide, and Ammonia. First, 9 percent of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide are released from livestock production. When cultivating livestock, a large amount of…

Milankovitch collected the information about the Milankovitch cycle and came up with methods on how to calculate and also use them to explain the climate variability, secondly I will be explaining the difference between the natural variability and the anthropogenic climate change. The Milankovitch cycle. The Milankovitch cycle consists of three factors which are responsible for the changes that occur in the path which the earth revolve around the sun and the amount of solar radiation received by…

Gordon Pugh). Anthropogenic contamination and change of the Arctic has been an issue for human civilization for many years, however many people do not believe that humans are the cause of such a difference in this once pristine environment. The activity of humans is primarily responsible for global warming, however, this topic is still being heavily debated today. The pro party argues that rising levels of air pollutants are being done by human activity, the con party believes anthropogenic…

In Notes From Underground: Florida’s Sinkhole Peril, David Owen elaborates on sinkholes in Florida. Owen discusses, among other things, examples of specific Florida sinkholes, the dangers of sinkholes, anthropogenic activities and their influence on sinkhole development, and the history of sinkholes in Florida. Overall, the article provides an overview of sinkholes in Florida and provides the reader with important information related to this topic. This review will discuss the major ideas…

Within the overarching theme of environmental justice, I do believe it is crucial to address globalization of the food system: the predominant Westernized diet is detrimental to our planet's environment, and is extremely energy intensive, as well as ethically and morally disputable. The irony of today’s global food system is that it possesses dichotomous qualities. For example, it generates an enormous amount of food waste, yet also causes the starvation of a billion people worldwide; it appears…

However, anthropogenic climate change can contribute to rising sea levels in the form of ocean warming and ice melt. In the Great Barrier Reef, the annual average sea level has risen 2.6 mm per year since 1959. However, in the past 10 years, the sea level has risen an average of 11.8 mm per year. This spike in sea level can be directly correlated to anthropogenic causes. Although it may not be intuitive, coral are severely affected by…

The harmful geoengineering methods seem to consequently contribute to global warming. On the other hand, the positive aspects of geoengineering seek “to prevent CO2 from building up in the atmosphere,” and fundamentally hinder the effects of anthropogenic climate change (Alley, Mann). Moreover, any technological application toward this effort cannot simply fix the climate change, there is no such thing as a true quick fix.…
