Madaline Baranski Theresa White Public Speaking 101 October 8, 2017 Title : What is “Global Warming”? General purpose: Is to educate the audience on the effects of climate change. After listening to my speech, the audience will be able to identify causes and effects of climate change. Introduction “Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.” -Bill Nye The Earth is a little over 4.5 billion years…

believes she has the answer to your questions. Klein, an established author and a well known social activist, has written This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate. She explores the components of capitalism and its apparent role in climate change. She names part one of her book “Bad Timing” , since at a time like this where climate change is a problem, it is near impossible…

important component of the coast’s economy. This is just one example of the commercial impact of climate change. Some of which include: Timber supply impact, flooding damage and poorer air quality. All of these will result in major profit loss for practically any primary or secondary industry. So then what does the government do? Combatting the economic blusters beforehand is key. If Canada can prevent climate change from taking it’ toll as a preventative, then possibly we can save billions of…

As strange as some climate change solutions are, even recycling can save humanity from extinction. Though recycling seems like a common activity among many, the current level of recycling on Earth is not an adequate when considering the true needs of the planet. Because greenhouse gasses and emissions rapidly warm the planet, reclaiming most of the recyclable materials across the globe could lower emissions and slow down or bring climate change to a stage of revitalization. According to…

In Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behavior, Kingsolver tackles the issues of climate change with change in migration pattern of monarch butterflies, which leads to these butterflies to land in a small town in rural Tennessee. Dellarobbia Turnbow, a 28-year-old struggling mom-of-2 living in this small town was on a hike to the top of the mountain to have an affair with a telephone repairman. Half way up the mountain she sees a miraculous display of nature in front of her, but little did she realize…

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…

Global warming is a rise in temperature in the troposphere that may lead to climate change. Global climate change is a much broader term that discusses changes in any part of the climate on Earth. These changes could occur in temperature, precipitation, or storm intensity. A change in global climate could be a warning or a cooling of the temperature. Often associated with global warming is the Greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can trap and hold heat from the sun.…

Throughout the years it has been easier to notice how climate has changed. Some summers are not very warm and some winter are not very cold. Even crazier, sometimes spring feels like winter and summer like autumn, and so on. Since the 1800’s humans have had the knowledge that climate changes are possible, and can happen from atmosphere variations as Fourier calculated in 1824, which can lead to the Earth becoming far colder. Additionally, the industrial revolution lead to “coal, railroads, and…

international agenda when bringing up the issue of climate change and this is because of the controversial position of the Chinese government on the matter throughout the years. China has ratified the Kyoto Protocol; nevertheless the country was exempt from committing to an emissions target reduction since China was not one of the main contributors to global warming during the period of industrialization that is believed to be the cause of climate change (Feldon, 2007: 60). Statistics taken from…

Global Warming Do human activities affect climate change, and as a result create global warming? Some scientists say no, but the majority of scientists say yes. They say human activities such as deforestation, using hydro-carbons, and burning fossil fuels, cause a lot of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere changing the temperature of the climate, causing global warming. So now which group of scientists is correct? Does human activity affect climate change causing global warming? …
