perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.” -Bill Nye The Earth is a little over 4.5 billion years old, humans have only been around for 200,000, a mere 0.004% of earths history, and we have double the amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the 1960s. Important questions to ask yourself when discussing climate change is, what exactly is global warming, are temperature changes natural, and what can we do about it? Body What is…

The biography reviewed was about Tim Flannery and his career in the environment promoting the issues with climate change and animals becoming extinct. The name of the website used for the information about Tim Flannery is Book Browse. The form of this text is organised into paragraphs with each one explaining the achievements and how Tim’s work was useful regarding to helping people around the world to see the environmental issues that are occurring. There were no images were shown in the…

For ten years I have possessed a constant desire to become a meteorologist; I want most of all to make a difference, a saying uttered often but so infrequently accomplished. Meteorologists hold such a significant job—they provide warnings for severe and extreme conditions and help ordinary civilians decide which day to do this or that—and are not accredited for their efforts because oftentimes they are marginally incorrect and are blamed for the slight inconveniences in the days of countless…

momentarily interrupting signals between the satellites and earth. When a large ‘X-class’ (largest of all solar flares) solar flare occurs it carries enough charged particles, x-rays and magnetized plasma that although is harmless to humans due to the atmosphere protection, can have an electromagnetic pulse effect (EMP) on the Earth causing all electronically powered sources to be forcedly shut off for anywhere up to a few years (in the event of a severely large solar flare) which would stop…

of them. Meteorology is the main category, while climate and weather are separate entities of it. Learning the differences between these terms makes it easier to understand the different parts of meteorology. The term climate is the weather or atmosphere over a long interval of time. Typically, climate is the long-term weather over many years. When studying climate, meteorologists look at averages over several years and how the weather might be changing when looking to the future. Climate is…

Owen Caplinger Many scientists state that climate change is real. These scientists and scholars believe that climate change is real, because the temperature is constantly changing from the past 200 years. Acording to the website http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ it states, “ The Earths climate has changed throughout history. 7,000 marks the beginning of the climate era. Most of the climate changes are contributed to very small variations that changes the amount of solar energy our planet…

too high or too low for longer than two weeks, “zooxanthellae”, which is the corals food source leaves and the corals lose their pigment and it turns white. Another problem in the reefs is acidification. Much of the carbon dioxide that enters the atmosphere dissolves into the ocean. In fact, the oceans have absorbed about 1/3 of the carbon dioxide produced from human activities since 1800 and about 1/2 of the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels. As carbon dioxide in the ocean…

HIGH FLIGHT Freedom is an exhilarating feeling that compares to nothing else in the world. A great example of what freedom feels like is written in the poem High Flight by John Gillespie MaGee because it is clear in his writing that freedom is an exquisite thing. “Sunward I’ve climbed, and done a hundred things, you have not dreamed of; Wheeled and soared and swung. High in the sunlit silence.” This line perfectly describes how extraordinary freedom can be. High Flight has touched my heart, not…

Global warming is the belief that the earth’s temperature is rising due to various pollutants. It is an idea that has been around for centuries, dating back to early B.C. While the ideas of climate change continue to grow, so do the controversies. Years ago people thought global warming was just a theory, but the evidence is becoming harder to ignore. Even with all the information collected about climate change, it is still being dismissed by many. The withering of the environment will only lead…
