Attribution of recent climate change

Conflict can be defined as the disagreement between two different states or actors who have dissimilar interests. Historically, states have fought each other to fight over territories, lootable and natural resources, different ideologies, technologies, and, economic and social issues. However, states had come together and solved these problems through cooperating with each other over the years. For example, nations resolved the problem of territories and borders through wars, and they eventually…

Climate change is broadly defined as any variation in climate over time whether due to natural variability or due to anthropogenic activity IPCC, (2001a). As developing countries are highly dependent on agriculture, there are growing concerns that this change in weather variability will further threaten the food security of already vulnerable rural households in developing nations and pose a serious challenge to development efforts. In light of this unending threat, it is imperative that a…

In recent years, researchers, governments, and scientists have been rapidly discussing the effects of global climate change and its accelerated environmental impacts on present and future generations. This information has led to joint international cooperation aimed at educating society as well as solving cultural barriers related to climate change. This action seeks to promote ethical and moral principles as solutions. However, it is important to understand that many international organizations…

By analyzing microscopic organisms, associate professor Daniel Clay Kelly in UW-Madison’s Department of Geoscience, studies the history of the earths’ climate that, explains how ocean acidification and rising carbon dioxide levels are causing catastrophic damage to our planet. Deep-sea sediment records are used as an archived of the Earth’s climate that spans the last 170 million years of earth’s history. “As paleontologists and geologists, we know the rock record is incomplete,” said Kelly.…

emissions have been positively correlated (IPCCC 2014). If this correlation holds true, the increasing populous and perceived development will release more GHG’s, further contributing to climate change. Climate change, in turn, will add more pressure to an already strained natural resource supply. Climate change refers to a historically natural process of warming and cooling cycles on the Earth, which is…

there are noticeable changes that occur when the seasons change, such as fall where there are colder temperatures, less sunlight, and more wind. These factors also causes nature to react such as causing the leaves to change color and fall off. In the last lesson it was an interactive read-aloud where I brought in a variety of different colored and shaped leaves for them to observe while I read. For this lesson we will continue to focus on the leaves but emphasis on their color change. I will do…

Emily Cassidy Research Report Emily Cassidy Period 1 Mr. McMahon Research Report Research Report Water Desalination Due to climate change, surging population growth, urban development, and industrialism, the worldwide need for fresh water is increasing. "It is the hope of future generations that desalination can solve that need," (Leon Awerbuch). Water Desalination is a process similar to the water cycle, used to remove salts and other chemicals from sea water. Salt water is…

In the article Why bother by Michael Pollan, I agree with his thesis about how if we don’t take care of the world and change our ways then this will result in a climate crisis. He also tells us about how today people think too much about their own problems that they forget about the other problems in the world and have others do it for them. I think that Pollan has done a good job in convincing people that doing something to help the environment will help make a difference. Everyone on Earth…

examine the role climate change played in the multiple natural disasters that occurred this season. Amanda Paulson, a Staff writer at the Christian Science Monitor, wrote the article Fire and floods: Did climate play a role in this fall's disaster? on October 13, 2017. Paulson points out climate scientists agree the warming of our climate has set the conditioning to warrant the abrupt climate changes and all the extreme events, we’ve seen lately. Scientists have connected Climate changes to…

We are facing a global climate crisis. We are entering a period of consequences.” (Al Gore). Global warming is dangerous and changing our world, as the quote stated above and we’ve haven’t done much to decrease it. Global warming is a serious topic because we realize (and have known this for a while) that it has made a very big modification to our world today. How you may ask? We have been polluting our earth and it’s atmosphere, it has been making drastic changes. We’ve also have been…
