The warming of the planet has been a concern to mankind for centuries and it’s almost to the point where the environment and ecosystems are diminishing because of it. Global warming is an issue to all of the living and breathing inhabitants of this planet and it is our duty as one to manage the sustenance of where we live. As future generations start to emerge, they are born into a world of concern and unhealthy lifestyles because of the fact that the world’s temperatures are fluctuating at an…

for us, however, we continue to live a destructive way of life without realizing the consequences. “Scientists agree that we’re now in the midst of a sixth [mass extinction]” (Jerry Coyne). Every year, 30,000 species go extinct due to the hazardous effects of human activity on wildlife. At this rate, the sixth mass extinction could happen within the next century or two, with humans being the main cause of this catastrophe. Unfortunately, modern humans have only been on Earth for around 200,000…

before it’s too late to fix our mistakes. To start, each person will need to see the reason behind taking care of our planet, which is that global warming is a legitimate issue, and every single person on the planet can either make a positive or negative impact on it. Each of the essays I evaluated spoke of different issues regarding or touching on global warming that I had not previously thought too much about, and effectively…

According to Environmental science: Toward a sustainable future, a textbook written by R. Wright and D. Boorse (2005/2011), the Greenhouse Effect is best defined as “an increase in the atmospheric temperature caused by increasing amounts of carbon dioxide and certain other gases that absorb and trap heat, which normally radiates away from Earth” (G-10). This effect has been dubbed as such because of its similarity to the way greenhouses work. Ultraviolet radiation travels through the Earth’s…

A report published by the United Nations titled Livestock’s Long Shadow, concludes that livestock emerges as one of the top contributors of some of the most significant and serious environmental…

day to day, while climate is more long term, and is the long term trend over hundreds to thousands of years. We are releasing tons of gases and dust particles into the earth 's atmosphere every day, and so the salient question becomes: What type of effect do these gases have on our atmosphere? Most climate scientists would agree that the earth 's climate is influenced by many different factors, but the most fundamental concept in climate science is that the incoming solar energy is balanced by…

Climate is defined as the “average weather” in a place, climate is continuously changing due to certain causes. There are several human and natural causes that have impacted the global climate negatively over the past century. There are numerous actions that can be taken in order to further prevent climate change from happening at the fast rate that it is. Many recent changes in the earth’s climate have occurred due to the impact humans and natural causes have on the earth. Scientists have…
