starts to impact our environment. #2 What is climate change? Climate change occurs when the Earth’s average temperature heats up causing the climate to become unbalanced. The temperature increases when certain greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere which traps heat in. These greenhouse gases consist of CO2, Methane and Nitrous Oxide. This process is called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when heat is trapped in and isn’t able to be released easily. Before humans…

Ashley Colombe ENGWR 300 December 6, 2014 The Theory of Global Warming and Climate Change: What It Is, What It Has Done, and How to Fix It The world is constantly going through changes, from freezing winters to hot summers. In recent years weather conditions, among many other things, have changed. Global warming and climate change is one theory that scientists believe has caused these recent occurrences. They have shown vast effects on the environment and the oceans throughout the United States…

species within the park to die off (11476). One of the main pollutants that is affecting the climate is increase in carbon dioxide (Harris 340). Carbon dioxide is one most commonly associated with the greenhouse effect and distributes throughout the atmosphere causing the main changes in climate (Plass). There has been an increase in transformed or new species which is causing other species to also die out, and an increase in competitive interactions within the organisms, plant life included,…

Global climate change is modifying the population of microorganisms and the distribution of their species. Microorganisms live in environments where more than type of species exist. Each species of microorganism plays a major, minor or no role in intricate groups. There is variation amongst microorganism and because of this all species of microorganisms will not react to global climate change in the same way. These microorganisms have a vital role in ensuring components such as carbon and…

differing as a result of this. Current temperature trends display an aberrant rate of increase in global lower-atmospheric temperatures. This indicates an (presumably human-induced) escalation in the volume of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are essential in moderation, however, advancements and innovations since the Industrial Revolution (principally those involving…

and a pollutant in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is classified as a greenhouse gas. So if we as a society can accept the fact that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, why is it not clear to us that carbon dioxide is a pollutant? The greenhouse effect is a natural effect of gases trapping sun’s radiation in the atmosphere of the Earth. Yes, it is natural, the greenhouse effect is used to maintain the Earth’s temperature. However, when carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere at such a rate, it…

climate change issue is manifesting at a rapid pace, so much so that even if we halt greenhouse gas emissions entirely, the earth will still continue to warm at a rapid pace due to the carbon dioxide still present in the atmosphere, mind you CO2 has a residence time in the atmosphere of over 100 years. The most viable solutions to this problem have been geo-engineering methods, some of which are extremely clever, but also extremely costly and impractical. A lot of the proposed solutions have to…

field. The Northern Lights,Aurora Borealis, Aurora Australis,or Southern Lights are formed when storms on the sun form solar winds, also know as large streams of charged particles streaming toward the Earth.The excited atoms reach the Earth's atmosphere and produce heat which gives us light! Did you know that the way they give their colors is gases? Different gases have different colors that's how they have their colors, it's more likely to have green but it ranges from red to pink,blue to…

since the start of the Industrial Era. The main influence is the enhanced greenhouse effect, this has occurred from fossil fuels being released into the atmosphere and deforestation for agriculture, urbanisation and industrialisation. The system that the enhanced greenhouse gases are affecting is the Carbon Cycle, by putting more carbon in the atmosphere, human activity is contributing to the warming of the Earth.…

Drawing the Line between Classes Class systems have been around for ages. During the olden days people would have the job their parents had. Even if they had other dreams or aspirations they were forced to have the job their parents had. Other countries and cultures had a similar class system in which people could do whatever job they wanted as long as the job stayed in the class there parents came from. Occasionally people would do something honorable or worthy of a great reward, such as…
